Oven air vents
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top
and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range.
NOTE
Do not block the vents and air openings of the range.
They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for
the range to operate properly with correct combustion.
Control Panel
To prevent activating the control panel during cleaning, un-
plug the range. Clean up splatters with a damp cloth using a
glass cleaner. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.
Do not use abrasives of any kind.
Front manifold panel and knobs
It is best to clean the manifold panel after each use of the
oven. For cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soapy water or
a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean
water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
NOTE
y Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the manifold
panel. Doing so will damage the finish.
y Do not try to bend the knobs by pulling them up or
down or by hanging a towel or other objects on them.
This can damage the gas valve shaft.
y The control knobs may be removed for easy cleaning.
y To clean the knobs, make sure that they are in the "OFF"
position and pull them straight off the stems.
y To replace the knobs, make sure the knob has the "OFF"
position centered at the top, and slide the knob directly
onto the stem.
NOTE
To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive cleaners on any
of these materials.

or remove this gasket.
