Care and cleaning of the range.
GEAppliances.com
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for
cleaning, please note that the knobs are
in the
OFF
position. When replacing the
knobs, check the
OFF
position to insure
proper placement.
Wash the knobs in soap and water or
a vinegar and hot water solution but
do not soak.
How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive left from packaging tape on
new appliances is an application of a
household liquid dishwashing detergent,
mineral oil or cooking oil.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
Wipe dry and then apply an appliance
polish to thoroughly clean and protect
the surface.
NOTE:
The plastic tape (on some models) must
be removed from all chrome trim. It cannot be
removed if it is baked on.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip
device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.
