minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of
these materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position;
grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the
flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

controls may cause damage to the appliance. To finish cleaning or for lighter soil use a
typical household glass cleaner and paper towels. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on
