Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar
and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth.
Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. do not spray liquids directly
on the control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control

damage the finish. To remove control knobs, turn to the oFF position; grasp firmly and
pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both
the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
