How to Remove Packaging Tape
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 must be removed from all
chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
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.
Control Panel and Knobs
Clean up spatters with a damp cloth.
Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy
water.
Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control
panel.
The control knobs may be removed for
easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it
straight off the stem. Wash the knobs in
soap and water but do not soak.
Pull the knob straight off the stem.
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-
resistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to
remain on the finish. If acids spill on the
cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper
towel or cloth to wipe it up right away.
When the surface has cooled, wash with
soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash
with soap and water or cleansing powders after
the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a
dry cloth.
Painted Surfaces
Painted surfaces include the sides 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.
