Using this Whirlpool white stove knob is simple. Just turn it clockwise to increase the heat and counter - clockwise to decrease it. When installing, make sure the stove is turned off and cooled down. Gently push the knob onto the control shaft until it fits snugly. For maintenance, clean the knob regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the white finish. If you notice any looseness or if the knob doesn't turn smoothly, check to make sure it's properly attached. If problems persist, contact our customer service team.
