Caring for the Control Knobs and the Control Panel
Caring for the Control Knobs and Panel on your Whirlpool Cooktop
Cleaning the Control Knobs:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, ensure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.
- Pull knobs straight away from the control panel to remove them.
- To avoid damage to the cooktop controls, do not use steel wool, abrasive cleansers, or oven cleaners.
- To avoid damage, do not soak knobs.
- Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.
- When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the Off position. On some models, do not remove seals under knobs.
Cleaning Control Panel:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, ensure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.
- To avoid damage to the control panel, do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, gritty washcloths, or rough paper towels.
- Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.
- Glass Control Panel: Glass cleaner and soft cloth or sponge: Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth or sponge, not directly on the panel.
