How to Clean a Kenmore Black Gas Cooktop Buildup

Kenmore gas ranges offer a variety of features and options for all of your cooking needs. Black Kenmore ranges provide a sleek, modern look to any kitchen. When food and liquids spill onto the range, they can burn onto the surface and create stains. Kenmore recommends using common household products to clean and remove stains from the cooktop. Wipe up spills on your Kenmore cooktop after each use to prevent tough messes and keep the range looking its best.
