42 MAINTENANCE
Front Manifold Panel and Knobs
It is best to clean the manifold panel after each use
of the range. For cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild
soapy water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water.
For rinsing, use clean water and polish dry with a soft
cloth.
CAUTION
•
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the manifold panel. Doing so will
damage the finish.
•
Do not try to bend the knobs by pulling them
up or down, and do not hang a towel or other
objects on them. This can damage the gas
valve shaft.
•
The control knobs may be removed for easy
cleaning.
•
To clean the knobs, make sure that they are in
the Off position and pull them straight off the
stems.
•
To replace the knobs, make sure the knob has
the Off position centered at the top, and slide
the knob directly onto the stem.
NOTE
To prevent scratching, do not use abrasive
cleaners on any of these materials.
