How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly
peel it from the appliance surface. Do
not use any sharp items to remove the
film. Remove all of the film before using
the appliance for the first time.
Control Panel
It's a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use. Clean with mild soap
and water or vinegar and water, rinse
with clean water and polish dry with
a soft cloth.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF
positions and pull them straight off the
stems for cleaning.
Oven Vent
The oven is vented through an opening
under the right rear surface unit.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy
but breakable if misused. This finish is
acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to
remain on the finish.
To assure no damage is done to the
finish of the product, the safest way to
remove the adhesive from packaging tape
on new appliances is an application of a
household liquid dishwashing detergent.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong
liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleansers on the control panel—they
will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
The knobs can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or they may also be washed
with soap and water. Make sure the insides
of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position
to ensure proper placement.
Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or
any other material.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is
hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to
wipe it up right away. When the surface
has cooled, wash with soap and water.
Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
