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 lower oven drawer.
Upper Control Panel
On models so equipped, lock out the touch
pads before cleaning.
See the
Control Lockout
information in the
Special features of your oven control
section
in this manual.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
You may also use a glass cleaner.
Remove heavier soil with warm soapy water.
Do not use abrasives of any kind.
Unlock the touch pads after cleaning.
Vent appearance and location vary.
Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth
to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap
and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and
water. For rinsing, use clean water. 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.
Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up
or down or by hanging a towel or other such
loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning. Make sure the knobs are in the
OFF
positions and pull them straight off the stems
for cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher
or they may also be washed with soap and
water. Make sure the insides of the knobs
are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs in the
OFF
position
to ensure proper placement.
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.
NOTE:
The lower oven drawer control knob
is not interchangeable with the surface burner
knobs. Be sure to reinstall the lower oven
drawer knob to the original location. The
lower oven drawer knob may be identified
by the red line. Surface burner knobs have
a white line.
