Installation Instructions
The TOMOON WB03X24818 stove knobs are designed for quick and easy, tool-free installation. Follow these steps to replace your old knobs:
- Remove Old Knob: Gently pull the old knob straight out from the stove's control shaft. Avoid bending or twisting the knob during removal to prevent damage to the shaft.
- Align New Knob: Align the D-shaped hole on the back of the new TOMOON knob with the D-shaped shaft on your stove. Ensure the flat side of the D-hole aligns with the flat side of the shaft.
- Install New Knob: Push the new knob firmly and straight onto the shaft until it is securely seated. Do not force the knob if it does not slide on easily; re-check alignment.
Important: Do not bend the knob up or down during installation or removal, as this can damage the stove's control shaft.

- Turning On/Off: Rotate the knob to the "OFF" position to turn off the burner. Rotate to "LITE" and push down to ignite the burner, then adjust to your desired flame setting.
- Temperature Control: The knobs feature bold markings including "OFF", "Lo", numerical settings "1-9", and "Hi" for various heat levels. Turn the knob to select the appropriate heat intensity for your cooking needs.

Maintenance and Care
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your TOMOON stove knobs, follow these simple cleaning and care guidelines:
- Cleaning: The stainless steel surface is designed to resist fingerprints and smudges. Wipe the knobs clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or markings.
- Drying: Ensure the knobs are completely dry before re-installing them or operating the stove.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the knobs for any signs of wear or damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your TOMOON WB03X24818 stove knobs, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Knob does not fit or is loose. | Incorrect model compatibility or shaft dimensions. | Verify your stove model and the D-shaped shaft dimensions against the product specifications. Ensure the knob is pushed straight onto the shaft. |
| Knob spins without activating burner. | Internal mechanism damage or improper fit. | Ensure the knob is fully seated on the shaft. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may be damaged. Contact customer support. |
| Markings (OFF, Lo, Hi, numbers) wear off. | Exposure to harsh cleaning agents or excessive heat. | Use only mild soap and water for cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials. While the knobs are designed for durability, extreme conditions can affect markings over time. |
| Knob warps or melts. | Exposure to extreme heat (e.g., from oven vent). | Ensure proper ventilation around the stove. While made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to excessive heat can affect internal components. If warping occurs, replacement may be necessary. |
