CARE ANDCLEANING
Glass-CeramicCooktop Cleaning
• Most cleaners contain ammonia,
chemicals and abrasives that
damage the surface of your
cooktop. Use only the Cooktop
Cleaning Creme ® for proper
cleaning and protection of your
glass ceramic surface.
• If you slide aluminum or copper
bottom cookware across the
surface of the cooktop, they may
leave metal markings which appear
as scratches. Use the razor
scraper and cooktop creme to
remove these marks. Failure to
remove this residue immediately
may leave permanent marks.
• If pots with a thin overlay of
aluminum, copper or enamel boil
dry, bonding with the glass
ceramic surface of the cooktop
may occur. This black discoloration
should be removed immediately or
it could become permanent.
• Use of glass cleaner may leave an
iridescent film on the cooktop.
Cleaning creme will remove this film.
• Water stains (mineral deposits) are
removable using the creme or full
strength white vinegar.
• Do not use a dull or nicked razor
blade on your cooktop.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or
abrasive scouring pads on your
cooktop.
• Plastic mesh pads, such as Dobie ®
may be used.
To order additional Cooktop Cleaning
Creme,_ call your nearest Sears
Service Center or Retail Store and
ask for Stock No. 40079.
All control knobs may be removed
for easy cleaning by pulling the knob
straight off the stem. Be sure that the
knob is in the OFF position before
removal.
HINT: Slip a thin cloth (such as a
handkerchief) or a piece of string
under and around the knob edge
and pull up.
CAUTION: Read these instructions
carefully before replacing the
knobs. Replacing the knobs
improperly will damage the knobs
and the spring clips on the stems.
If this happens, the knobs will fit
loosely.
To replace the knob:
1. The knob stem has a groove in
each side. The groove on one side
has a spring clip. The other
groove is clear (see illustration).
2. Check the inside of the knob and
find the molded rib.
3. Replace the knob by fitting the
molded rib inside the knob into the
clear groove on the stem.
