rinse. Polish with a dry cloth.

which may permanently damage the finish.

• surface controls may not be set properly.
• voltage to house may be low.
If ventilation system is not capturing smoke
efficiently:
• check on cross ventilation in room or make up air.

NOTE: If either element of the cooktop cartridge fails
to heat - switch the cartridge to the other side of the
cooktop. If it operates on that side, then the cooktop
control switch may be at fault. If it does not heat on
either side - indications are that the cartridge requires
service. In this event, you may speed service by
delivering the lightweight cartridge to an authorized
Sears Center.
