General Care & Cleaning (cont'd)

Cleaning the Cooktop, Burner Heads, Caps & Grates

The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the gas Burners are sealed, spillovers are easier to clean provided that they are cleaned up immediately.

The cooktop, Burner Heads and Caps should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the Burner Head Ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an uneven flame. Refer to the following instructions:

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

THE FIXED OVEN VENT IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove the fixed oven vent cover.

Use caution when replacing the Burner Caps so the Electrodes are 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 Sears Service. Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® (See back cover).
