For more difficult soils and built-up grease
,
apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp
cloth and dry.

Before cleaning the control panel,
turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove,
pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth. Be sure to squeeze
excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls.
Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. To replace knobs after
cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF. Lightly spray the control panel with a
liquid cleaner. Wipe with a soft cloth or paper towel. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
These can permanetly damage the control panel surface.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of
clear water and ammonia.
If necessary
, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel
for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub with a soap-filled
scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may
become damaged during future heating.
