Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is
re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result
in tipping of the range and cause injury.
Care and cleaning of the range.
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove the
adhesive left from packaging tape on new
appliances is an application of a household
liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil
or cooking oil.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish
to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape (on some models) must be
removed from all chrome trim. It cannot be removed
if it is baked on.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem.
If a knob is difficult to remove, place a towel or
dishcloth between the knob and control panel
and pull gently. Wash the knobs in soap and
water or a vinegar and hot water solution.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please
note that the knobs are in the OFF position.
When replacing the knobs, check the OFF
position to ensure proper placement.
Do not bend knobs by pulling them up or
down or by hanging a towel or other such
loads. This can damage the shaft.
To replace:
Check the back of the knob.
The molded rib of the knob is designed to
fit perfectly onto the knob stem.
Align the molded rib to the clear groove in
the knob stem. Push the knob back as far
as it will go.

To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass
cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

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.
Control Panel
Painted surfaces include the sides of the range
and the door, top of control panel and the
drawer front. Clean these with soap and water
or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning
powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any
painted surface.
