Recommendation

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30- 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both knob and shaft; then push knob into place.

Before cleaning the control panel, turn aii controls OFF, activate oven lockout (on some models) and if needed remove any knobs from panel. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping control panel; especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. When rinsing, use clean water and a dishcloth and be sure to squeeze excess water from dishcloth before wiping the control panel.
