General Care & Cleaning

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Cooktop

Before cleaning any part of the cooktop, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS

AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS NOW WILL REDUCE THE DIFFICULTY AND EXTENT

OF A MAJOR CLEANING LATER.

Surfaces

How to Clean

Aluminum (Trim Pieces)

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth or paper towel. Dry with a clean cloth.

Painted and Plastic

Control Knobs, Body Parts, and

Decorative Trim

For general cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and

built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to

60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of

these materials; they can scratch or dull the finish.

Stainless Steel, Chrome parts

Decorative Trim Cooktop

Clean with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and cloth. Do

not use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh

scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning

stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners off from the surface as bluish stains

may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop

See Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance in this Use & Care Guide.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining

your Ceramic glass cooktop

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the

recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic

surface (on the web visit www.sears.com for replacement

cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a non­

abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make

cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special

cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the

glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the

cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface.

These marks should be removed immediately after the

cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream.

Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to

future use.

Q:

Qt

o[

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough

bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not

slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not

use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the

kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface

without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the

glass cooktop, because they may cause it to crack.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic

Glass Cooktop

ik CAUTION

ik WARNING

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the

controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

I DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot

cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and

can chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly

to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive

plastic type no-scratch pad to clean the entire cooktop

surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly,

leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to

the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive

plastic type no-scratch pad, applying pressure as needed.

Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any

other purpose.
