Tiny scratches and abrasions
Use Cooktop Cleaner for scratches. Scratches and abrasions
do not affect cooking performance, and after many cleanings
they will become less noticeable.
COOKTOP CONTROLS
To avoid damage to the cooktop controls, do not use steel wool,
abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner.
Do not soak knobs. When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in
the OFF position.
On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.
Cleaning Method:
Soap and water:
Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove.
CONTROL PANEL AND OVEN DOOR EXTERIOR
To avoid damage to the control panel, do not use abrasive
cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or abrasive paper
towels.
The oven light is a standard 40-watt appliance bulb. Before
replacing, make sure the oven and cooktop are cool and the
control knobs are in the off position.
To Replace:
1. Unplug range or disconnect power.
The 120v appliance outlet located on the control console may be
used to run portable appliances placed on countertops beside the
range.
The outlet operates independently and is not affected by range
control settings.
NOTE: Do not place portable appliances on the cooktop. Damage
to the portable appliance could result if the cooktop is hot.
