Wash in detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem. DO NOT use any cleaners
containing ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the knob.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid
cleaner designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or
powders. If necessary, scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the material,
then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless
steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless
steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
Glass Surfaces

make sure that it does not run down on exterior door surface.
Oven Racks
Clean with detergent and hot water. Stubborn spots can be scoured with a soap-filled steel wool pad.
