Removal of Packaging Tape
The safest way to remove adhesive left from packing tape on new appliances to assure no damage is done to the finish of the product is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface. This procedure is also safe for the face of microwave doors and other plastic and lexan parts.
NOTE: The plastic tape that is not removed from the chrome trim on range parts cannot be removed if baked on.
