ControlPanel and Knobs
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.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning. Before removing the knobs for cleaning,
please note that the knobs on the left side and the knobs
on the right side are in the proper OFF position. When
replacing tile knobs, check [he OFF position to insure
proper placement.
'Clear Groove in Stem
To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stelm.If a
knob is difficult to remove, place a thin cloth (like a
handkerchief or a piece of string under and around the
knob edge and pull up.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.
Avoid getting water down into the knob stem holes.
To replace a knob, locate the groove in each side of
the knob stem. One of the grooves contains a spring
clip and the other groove is clear. Locate the molded
rib inside the knob. Fit the molded rib into the clear
groove on the knob stem.
PorcelainEnamel Cooktop
rhe 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.
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 or
cleansing powders. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat smatterings,waih with
soap and water or cleansing powders after the surF~cc

Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up
soil, especially grease, may catch on fire. To make
