Control Panel and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or 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 on the control
The control knobs may be removed for easier 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 placement.
To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. If a 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.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak. Avoid getting water down in to the knob stem holes.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the control panel. 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.
Glass Surfaces
To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth. Do not allow the water or cleaner to run down inside openings in the top of the oven door while cleaning.
