| Control knobs | 1. Turn the knobs off and pull them straight away from the control panel. | ||
|
|
| 2. Wash the knobs with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry | ||
|
|
| them well. Do not soak them. Do not use steel wool or gritty cleansers, | ||
|
|
| which can damage the finish of the knobs. | ||
|
|
| 3. Replace the knobs. Make sure all knobs are turned off. | ||
|

|
| Control panel | •Wash the panel with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Wipe the panel with | ||
|
|
| clean water and dry it well. Do not use steel wool or gritty cleansers, | ||
|
|
| which can damage the finish. | ||
|
|
| OR | ||

|
|
| the cleaner directly on the panel. Apply the cleaner to the paper towel. | ||

| |
|
| (other than control | • Wash the surface with a sponge and warm, soapy water or paper towel and | ||
