Exterior Cleaning
Clean range after each use to prevent sticky grease build-up and spills from cooking on. Wash with hot, soapy water and a
clean cloth. Wipe with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Do not use abrasives, steel wool, cleaners containing ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners on any exterior parts of the
range, except the porcelain enamel cooktop. If a metal cleaner or polish is used on metal trim, be sure the label specifies that it
is safe for use on chrome and aluminium.
Control Panel
Control knobs (some models)
If the control panel needs cleaning, turn the control knobs to OFF, then pull knobs straight
off the shafts.
Most cleaning of your steel/aluminum control panel can be done using a clean cloth with
warm soapy water or other mild household cleaners.
Sometimes, applying few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning/polishing creme (with
silicone) will remove any remaining soil and will leave a protective coating which will keep
your range looking like new.
Cooktop cleaning/polishing creme (PIN 22-40079) can be purchased through Searsparts/
service centers or Sears department stores.
