Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to correctly install the replacement control knob:
- Disconnect Power: Before beginning, ensure the oven or cooktop is completely disconnected from the electrical power supply. This is a critical safety step.
- Remove Old Knob: Gently pull the old control knob directly off its shaft. It should slide off with moderate force. Avoid twisting or prying excessively, as this could damage the shaft.

- Inspect Shaft: Examine the metal shaft on the oven's control panel. Ensure it is clean, free of debris, and undamaged. If there is any residue, clean it carefully.

- Align New Knob: Take the new Fagor control knob (C18T002A6). Observe the shape of the opening at the back of the knob and align it with the shape of the shaft on the oven. Most shafts have a flat side or a specific notch for correct orientation.
- Install New Knob: Carefully push the new knob onto the shaft until it is firmly seated. Do not force it if it doesn't slide on easily; re-check the alignment. The knob should sit flush against the control panel without excessive play.

- Cleaning: To clean the knob, first ensure the oven is off and cool. Gently pull the knob off its shaft. Wash it with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reattaching. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
