Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs
Surface burner knob
Red line
Lower oven knob (on some models)
It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after
each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth to
clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap and
water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water.
For rinsing, use clean water. 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.
Do not try to bend knobs by pulling them up
or down or by hanging a towel or other such
loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.
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 cleaned in a dishwasher or
they may also be washed with soap and water.
Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry
before replacing.
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: Knobs are not interchangeable. Be sure to
reinstall the knobs to the original location.
Some models have dual support
rods that will hold the cooktop up
while you clean underneath It.
Lift-Up Cooktop (on models with standard twin 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.
NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner
m odels. Lifting the cooktop can lead to dam age
and im proper operation of the range.
To raise the cooktop:
|~^ Be sure the burners are turned off.
Remove the grates.
Grasp the two front burner wells and lift
up.
Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy water
and a clean cloth. If you removed your surface
burners while cleaning, make sure they are
properly seated when replacing them.
After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be careful
not to pinch your fingers).
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel
finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the
oven bottom from excessive spillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the
rack you are cooking on. This is particularly
important when baking a fruit pie or other
foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit
fillings or other foods that are highly acidic
(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut and sauces
with vinegar or lemonjuice) may cause pitting
and damage to the porcelain-enamel surface
and should be wiped up immediately.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an
abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring pad.
Rinse well to remove any soap before self­
cleaning.
