Front Manifold Panel and Knobs
It is best to clean the manifold panel after each use
of the range. 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.
CAUTION
• Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the manifold panel. Doing so will
damage the finish.
• Do not try to bend the knobs by pulling them
up or down, and do not hang a towel or other
objects on them. This can damage the gas
valve shaft.
• The control knobs may be removed for easy
cleaning.
• To clean the knobs, make sure that they are in
the Off position and pull them straight off the
stems.
• 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.
Oven Door
• Use soapy water to thoroughly clean the oven door.
Rinse well. Do not immerse the door in water.
• You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass
of the oven door. Do not spray water or glass
cleaner on the door vents.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or
harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of
the oven door.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The oven door
gasket is made of a woven material that is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or remove this gasket.
CAUTION
Do not use harsh cleaners or harsh abrasive
cleaning materials on the outside of the oven
door. Doing so can cause damage.
