CARE & CLEANING (Cleaning Chart)
Cleaning various parts of your appliance
Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANING WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MAJOR CLEANING LATER.

& Decorative Trim Pieces | Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. DO NOT spray liquids directly |
| on the control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control |
| panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not |
| use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels - they will |
| damage the finish. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and |
| pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both |
| the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place. |
