CARE AND MAINTENANCE
•
It is a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth to
clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. For rinsing, use clean water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
•
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control panel - they will damage the fi nish.
•
Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up or down or by hanging a towel or other such
loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives, am-
monia, acids or commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.
•
NOTE: Knobs are not interchangeable. Be sure to reinstall the knobs to the original loca-
tion.
