Care and cleaning of the range.
Be sure electrical power is 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.
To remove a knob,
pull it straight off
the stem.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do
not soak.
To replace the knob,
locate the groove in
each side of the knob stem. Locate the
molded rib inside the knob. Fit the
molded rib of the knob into the clear
groove on the knob stem.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel
after each use. 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 cleansers, plastic scouring pads or
oven cleansers on the control panel—they
will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.

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 must be removed from all
chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-
resistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to
remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is
hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to
wipe it up right away. When the surface
has cooled, wash with soap and water.
Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
Oven Vent
The oven is vented through an opening
under the right rear surface unit.
Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or
any other material.
