a hot bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb will break.
Control Panel and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use of the oven. 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

Lift-Up Cooktop
(on models with dual burners)
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up
soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up.
To raise the cooktop:
1.
Be sure the burners are turned off.
2. Remove the grates.
3. Grasp the 2 front burner wells and lift up.
Some models have dual support rods that will hold the
