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.
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.
Control Panel
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.
Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
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 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.
The knob stem is flat on one side (see
illustration). Check the inside of the
knob and find the molded flat area.
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 surfaces. It cannot be removed if it
is baked on.
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 works well.
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.
Replace the knob by fitting the molded
flat area inside the knob onto the flat
area of the stem.
