Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning,
please
note that the knobs on the left side and the knobs
on the right side are on the proper OFF position.
When replacing the knobs, check the OFF position
to insure proper placement.
The knob stem has a groove in each side. The groove
on one side has a spring clip. The other groove is
clear (see illustration). When removing the knob,
it may be helpful to slip a thin cloth (such as a
handkerchief) or a piece of string under and around
the knob edge and pull up. Check the inside of the
knob and find the molded rib.
Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and
hot water solution but do not soak.
Replace the knob by fitting the molded rib inside
the knob into the clear groove on the stem.
