CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Control Panel and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water of vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note that the knobs on the left side and the knobs on the right side are in the proper OFF position. When replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to insure proper alignment.
To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. If the knob is difficult to remove, place a thin cloth (like a handkerchief’) or a piece of string under and around the knob edge and pull up.
