Cleaning the Cooktop

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the four burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately. To clean, wipe with a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

Cleaning the Contoured Well Areas, Burner Caps & Burner Heads

The contoured well areas, burner caps and burner heads should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. Refer to the following section for instructions.

THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.

Use caution when replacing the burner cap so the electrode is not damaged. This may cause a delayed ignition or prevent the burner from igniting.

Any additions, changes or conversions required in order for this appliance to perform satisfactorily must be made by an authorized Sears Service Center.
