panel clean after each use of the
oven. For a more thorough cleaning,
the knobs can be removed by pulling
them off the knob stems. If knobs

(on model so equipped)
There are a number of precautions

sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or
foods with high sugar content,
clean them up as soon as possible.
If allowed to set, these foods
cause a dull spot. Also, no matter
how stubborn the food stain, never
use harsh, abrasive cleansers. They
could permanently damage the
enamel surface. We recommend a
cleanser, such as “Soft
