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
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.
