1o Turn the knobs off and pull them straight away from the control panel.

them well. Do not soak them. Do not use steel wool or gritty cleansers,
which can damage the finish of the knobs.
3o Replace the knobs. Make sure all knobs are turned off.
÷ Wash the panel with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Wipe the panel with
clean water and dry it well. Do not use steel wool or gritty cleansers,
which can damage the finish.
OR
÷ Wash the panel with a paper towel and spray glass cleaner. Do not spray
the cleaner directly on the panel. Apply the cleaner to the paper towel.
÷ Wash with a sponge and warm, soapy water or paper towel and spray glass
cleaner. Wipe with clean water and dry thoroughly.
Use a nonabrasive,
plastic scrubbing pad on heavily soiled areas.
® Do not use steel wool, abrasives,
or harsh cleansers.
They may
damage the finish.
® If you use soap or detergent solutions, wipe thoroughly to prevent
filmy residue.
INO'_'LEr: DO not let foods containing acids (such as vinegar, tomato, or lemon
juice) remain on the surface. Acids may remove the glossy finish. Also wipe
up milk or egg spills when the cooktop is cool. Be careful when cleaning
around the model and serial number plate; too much scrubbing
could
remove the numbers.
® You do not have to clean open coil elements because spatters or spills will
burn off.
÷ Do not immerse the coil elements
in water.
