Control knobs

1. Turn the knobs off and pull them straight away from the control panel.

 

 

2. Wash the knobs with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry

 

 

them well. Do not soak them. Do not use steel wool or gritty cleansers,

 

 

which can damage the finish of the knobs.

 

 

3. Replace the knobs. Make sure all knobs are turned off.

Use a nonabrasive, plastic scrubbing pad on heavily soiled areas.

 

 

 

 

Do not use gritty or harsh cleansers, which can damage the finish.

 

 

NOTE: Do not let foods containing acids (such as vinegar, tomato, or lemon

 

 

juice) remain on the surface. Acids may remove the glossy finish. Also wipe

 

 

up milk or egg spills when the cooktop is cool. Be careful when cleaning

 

 

around the model and serial number plate; too much scrubbing could

 

 

remove the numbers.

burn off.

 

 

Do not immerse the surface units in water.
