Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs
It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after
each useof the oven. Usea damp cloth to
clean or rinse. Forcleaning, usemild soap and
water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water.
Forrinsing, useclean water. Polishdry with a
soft cloth.

cleaners,plasticscouring pads or oven cleaners
on the control panel-they will damage the
finish.
Do nottry to bend knobs by pulling them up
or down or by hanging a towel or other such
loads.Thiscan damage the gas valve shaft.
Thecontrol knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Hake surethe knobs are in the OFFpositions
and pull them straight off the stems for
cleaning.
Replacethe knobs in the OFF position to ensure
proper placement.
Hetal parts can be cleaned with soap and
water. Do not use steelwool, abrasives,
ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners.

To determine the correct location of the knob
on the front control panel,examine the back
of the knob. Knobswith labelsand two stem
holesare not interchangeable with other
types of knobs and should be returned to the
front panel first. Locate the proper position
by matching the label and the front panel
description or by matching the shape of the
knob holesto the shape of the control panel
stems. Knobswithout labels and only one stem
hole can be returned to any position on the
front control panel that has only one stem.
