How to Remove the Stains From a Kenmore Smooth Top Range

Kenmore smooth top ranges are made from a ceramic material that's designed for quick cleanup. Since the surface is smooth, there are no crevices, burners or drip pans for food to accumulate in. Spills may still occur and burn onto the range. Cooktop cleaning cream is specially made for use on glass ceramic cooktops. It removes tough food residue, polishes and protects without scratching the surface. Clean messes soon after they occur to help prevent stains.
