Care and Cleaning
Oven Vent
The oven is vented through an opening under the right rear surface unit.
Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or any other material. This
would prevent the oven vent from working properly.
Control Panel and Knobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use. 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
cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleansers
on the control panel—they will damage the finish.
A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water solution
works well.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please
note that they are in 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). 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.

Broiler Pan and Grid
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.
Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out
grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and
rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-
filled or plastic scouring pad.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with
detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels
or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned
on foods.
The broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a
commercial oven cleaner.
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in
the dishwasher.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere
in the range.
