General Cleaning
Before cleanlng any part of the range, make sure all heating elements are
turned to OFF and are cool.
J
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 enamet 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 putt 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 can be purchased through Sears parts/service
centers or Sears department stores.

when turned on.

make sure they are cold and that
control knobs are turned to OFF.
