Control knobs
If the control panel needs cleaning turn the control knobs to OFF “
”, then pull knobs straight off the shafts.
Most cleaning of your steel/aluminum control panel can be done using a clean cloth with warm soapy water or other mild household cleaners.
Sometimes, applying few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning/polishing creme (with silicone) will remove any remaining soil and will leave a protective coating wich will keep your range looking like new.
Cooktop cleaning/polishing creme can be purchased through authorized service centers or major department stores.
