Panasonic VA-20861 - Manual (Page 36)

Oven Control Panel
Lock out the touch pads before cleaning.
See the Range Lockout information
in the Special features of your upper
oven control section in this manual.
Clean up splatters with a damp cloth.
You may also use a glass cleaner.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.
Do not use abrasives of any kind.
Unlock the touch pads after cleaning.
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet
that are necessary for the range to operate
properly.
Air openings are located at the rear of
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the
oven door, and at the bottom of the range,
under the lower oven drawer.
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
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control panel—they will
damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of
vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions
and pull them straight off the stems for
cleaning.
The knobs can be washed with soap and
water. Make sure the insides of the knobs
are dry before replacing.
NOTES:
■ Do not wash the knobs in an automatic
dishwasher.
■ Do not use any chemical or abrasive
substances to clean the knobs—they could
be permanently damaged.
Replace the knobs in the OFF position
to ensure proper placement.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap
and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives,
ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners.
Dry with a soft cloth.
NOTE: The lower oven drawer control knob
is not interchangeable with the surface unit
knobs. Be sure to reinstall the lower oven
drawer knob to the original location. The lower
oven drawer knob may be identified by the
increasing numbers from “W
M
” to “450.”
Vent appearance and location vary.
