CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Control Panel and Knobs
Clean up any spills or spatters with a damp cloth.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.
Clean the control panel with mild liquid dish detergent and a soft cloth. Rub the control panel lightly.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel. The lettering on models with touch pads is sensitive to abrasives and pressure.
The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.
Cooktop Surface Light
When changing a cooktop light, do not touch the metal at the ends of the light.
The cooktop light is easily replaced with a fluorescent tube of the same wattage. Before changing the light, pull the plug to the range or disconnect the power at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.
To remove:
•Lift the light cover by pulling the bottom edge toward you and then up.
•Place fingers on top near each end of the light.
•Roll the top of the light gently toward the front of the range and gently pull the light from the socket, making sure it does not hit the light cover.
To replace:
•Place fingers on the top near each end of the light.
•Press the light into the slots until it snaps into place.
•Move light cover down and snap into place.
Metal Parts
Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia or commercial oven cleaners. To safely clean surfaces; wash, rinse and then dry with a soft cloth.
Glass Window
To clean the outside of the oven window, use a glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides, control panel and drawer front. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution. Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.
Oven Vent
The oven is vented through an opening at the rear of the cooktop. Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or any other material. This would prevent the oven vent from working properly.
