Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. 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 fiat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF, active the lockouts (some models) and if needed remove any control knobs from the panel.
