Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the
oven door, and at the bottom of the range,
under the warming drawer or lower
oven drawer.
Upper Control Panel
On models so equipped, lock out the touch
pads before cleaning.
See the Control Lockout information in the
Special features of your oven control section
in this manual.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
You may also use a glass cleaner.
Remove heavier soil with warm soapy water.
Do not use abrasives of any kind.
Unlock the touch pads after cleaning.
Vent appearance and location vary.
Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use of the oven. Use a damp
cloth to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use
mild soap and water or a 50/50 solution of
vinegar and water. For rinsing, use clean
water. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control panel—they will
damage the finish.
Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them
up or down or by hanging a towel or other
such loads. This can damage the gas valve
shaft.
The control knobs may be removed for
easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it
straight off the stem. If knob is difficult to
remove, place a towel or dishcloth between
the knob and control panel and pull gently.
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a
vinegar and hot water solution.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and
water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives,
ammonia, acids or commercial oven
cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.
NOTE: The lower oven drawer control knob is not
interchangeable with the surface burner knobs. Be
sure to reinstall the lower oven drawer knob to the
original location. The lower oven drawer knob may
be identified by the red line. Surface burner knobs
have a white line.
