Care and cleaning of the range (cont.).
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the
oven door, and at the bottom of the range,
under the warming drawer.

Lower Control Panel and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use of the oven. 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
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control panel—they will
damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of
vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may be removed for
easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it
straight off the stem. If knob is difficult to
remove, place a towel or dishcloth between
the knob and control panel and pull gently.
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a
vinegar and hot water solution.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and
water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives,
ammonia, acids or commercial oven
cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.
Pull the knob straight off the stem.
