To re-activate the control panel, again push and hold the "CANCEL•SECURE" pad for three seconds. "OFF" will disappear from the display. IMPORTANT: Clean the control panel with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. DO NOT USE PERTOLIUM OR CHLORINE BASED CLEANERS, ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCRUBBERS. THEY WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE FINISH. Dry the control panel completely with a soft, lint-free cloth. Door Handle & Control Housing IMPORTANT: Clean the door handle and control panel housing with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. DO NOT USE PERTOLIUM OR CHLORINE BASED CLEANERS, ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCRUBBERS. THEY WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE FINISH. Glass Surfaces Clean all glass surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Use a mild glass cleaner to remove fingerprints or smears. Dry completely with a soft, lint-free cloth. Top Frame Everyday cleaning of the cooktop surface is best accomplished with a soft cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of warm water and hand dishwashing liquid. Stubborn stains may be removed by applying full-strength sprays such as Simple Green, Ajax All-Purpose Cleaner, Formula 409, or Scotch Guard. IMPORTANT: 1. Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board. 2. Do not use abrasive cleaners or applicators on the glass cooktop. 3. Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch the glass cooktop. Stainless Steel Surfaces Clean all stainless steel surfaces with the provided Elco Stainless Steel Cleaner. Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. IMPORTANT: If commercially available stainless steel cleaners are used, it is important to read the labels for chlorine compounds. Chlorine is a corrosive substance. If these compounds are present, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Always wipe stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the grain. Porcelain Surfaces IMPORTANT: The oven interior and inner door liners are finished in porcelain enamel. Clean these surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasives or commercial oven cleaners. Always remove excess grease and soil from the oven interior and door prior to using the Self-Cleaning cycle. Clean these surfaces with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse, dry and polish with a soft, lint-free cloth. Broiler Pan The oven broiler pan is finished in porcelain enamel. Clean both components in a solution of detergent and hot water. For heavy soil conditions, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water. Rinse well after cleaning. Oven Racks Oven racks are chrome-plated. For everyday cleaning, apply a solution of detergent and hot water. To clean heavy soil, use a scouring pad such as steel wool with plenty of water, or use a solution of 1 cup ammonia to 2 gallons of water. Remove racks during Self-Cleaning. If racks are left in the oven during self-cleaning, they will permanently discolor. Convection Fan Filter WARNING: Remove the filter only when it is cool. The convection fan filter is made of stainless steel. Remove the filter regularly for cleaning, as a clogged filter will reduce the effectiveness of convection cooking modes. Soak the filter in hot soapy water according to the package directions. Dry the filter completely before re-installing. Remove the filter during SelfCleaning. If the filter is left in the oven during Self-Cleaning it will permanently discolor. Re-install the filter before cooking in the oven again. Failure to do so will expose the convection fan blade that rotates at high speed during convection modes.  Step 1: Orient the filter so that the two mounting tabs are towards the rear, open end down. Removing and Installing the Convection Fan Filter Step 1 Step 2: Hook the two mounting tabs over the center horizontal bar. Removing and Installing the Convection Fan Filter Step 2 Knobs and Spill Protector Rings The control knobs provided with these ranges are designed for ease of use and longevity. The "D" shaped design of the knob shaft ensures proper orientation when re-installing the knob. Beneath each knob, a spill protector ring prevents liquid spills from entering the control panel. WARNING: Never block the holes in the control panel below the knobs (between knobs and spill protector rings) and at the control panel side ends (horizontal slots). This will impair the flow of combustion air and adversely affects burner operation, possibly creating a hazardous condition. The knobs should be washed regularly in warm, soapy water. Hand dishwashing liquid is excellent for this task. Knobs should be removed by gently pulling them straight off of the valve shafts. The spill protector rings should be cleaned in place. Use caution to avoid introduction of moisture into the control panel. To replace knobs, align the "D-shaped" opening at the bottom of the knob with the "D-shaped" valve shaft, then carefully press the knob onto the valve shaft. IMPORTANT: 1. Turn the knobs to the "OFF" position prior to removing them from the valve stems. 2. The cooktop should never be operated without the knobs and spill protector rings in place. 3. Do not soak the knobs and spill protector rings in water or place them in the dishwasher. 4. Do not expose the knobs or spill protector rings to direct flame, hot utensils, or other sources of heat.
