IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

Protective Liners — DO NOT USE

ALUMINUM FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use

aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper

installation of these liners may result in risk of electric

shock, or fire.

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE HEATING

UNITS, OR SURFACE COOKING ELEMENTS, AREAS

NEAR THESE SURFACE HEATING UNITS, OR INTERIOR

SURFACE OF THE OVEN. Both surface heating and oven

heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in

color. Areas near surface cooking units may become hot

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,

or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these

areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among

these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top,

the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,

oven door and oven door window.

• Use care when opening oven door, warmer drawer or

lower oven door — Stand to the side of the range when

opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam

escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is

located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in

this area when the oven is operating may cause severe

burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items

on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or

ignite.

Wear proper apparel — loose-fitting or

hanging garments should never be worn while using the

appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable

materials contact hot surfaces.

• Placement of interior oven racks. Always place oven

racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must

be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use

potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to

reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating

elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack

before moving.

DO NOT USE WATER OR FLOUR on grease

fires — smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking

soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

When heating fat or grease, watch it

closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become

too hot.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler

pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept

away from the high heat of the broiler.

Use dry potholders — moist or damp

potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from

steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements.

Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a

potholder.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.

Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERAMIC-

GLASS COOK TOP MODELS

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

Place a pan of food on the surface element unit before

turning it on, and turn the element off before removing

the pan.

• Do not cook on broken cook top — If cook top should

break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate

the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock.

Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Use proper pan size — This appliance is equipped with

one or more surface units of different sizes. Select

utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the

surface unit heating element. The use of undersized

utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to

direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve

efficiency.

• Clean cook top with caution — If a wet sponge or cloth

is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to

avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious

fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend

over adjacent surface elements — To reduce the risk of

burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due

to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the

utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward,

and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

• Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat

settings — Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers

that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking

due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the

fan on.

Removing, replacing and arranging racks

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when

using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and

exterior, oven racks and cooktop will become very hot

which can cause burns.

The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack

(some models) may be used for most cooking needs.

The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place

the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower

than flat oven racks. This design provides several additional

possible positions between the flat rack positions.

Protective Liners — DO NOT USE

ALUMINUM FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use

aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper

installation of these liners may result in risk of electric

shock, or fire.

To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven

rack (on some models) in the lowest rack position for

roasting large cuts of meat.

Arranging - always arrange

the oven racks when the oven

is cool (prior to operating the

oven).

To remove - pull the rack

forward until it stops. Lift up

Before Setting Surface Controls

Using proper cookware

Cookware material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly

heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan

bottom. The most popular materials available are:

The size and type of

cookware used will

influence the radiant

element power level

setting needed for best

cooking results. Be sure to

follow the

recommendations for

using proper cookware as

illustrated in both Figs. 1

& 2.

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food

will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware

resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the

ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will

resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May

leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).

Fig. 1

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of

the cookware (See Fig. 1). Cookware should have flat

bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface

heating element (See Fig. 2). For more detailed information

about the ceramic cooktop see Cooktop maintenance and

Cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning section.

Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking

results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat

very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is

reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will

vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel

coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic

cooktops.

Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for

ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Important note:

• Flat bottom and straight

sides.

• Curved and warped pans.

Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel

coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting

point of cookware made with these materials may be

reached quickly especially if left empty & they may bond

to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it will

damage the cooktop! Be sure to follow all the cookware

manufacturer’s suggestions when using any type of

cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does

not tilt pan. Pan is well

balanced.

• Pan sizes match the

amount of food to be

prepared and the size

of the surface element.

• Made of material that

conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Cookware larger than

cooking area marked on

cooktop by more than

one-half inch or 12mm.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Always match pot

diameter to element

size.

• Pan is smaller than the

heating area marked on

cooktop.

Before Setting Surface Controls

About the ceramic glass cooktop

Element On & Hot Surface indicator lights

Your appliance is equipped with different types of surface

indicator lights that will glow on the control panel — the

ELEMENT ON and the HOT SURFACE indicator lights.

The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located

below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic

cooktop outlines the area of the surface element

underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the

diameter of the element outline on the cooktop and only

flat-bottomed cookware should be used.

The ELEMENT ON indicator light is marked on the control

panel and will glow when a surface cooking element is

turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after

cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls

are turned OFF.

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface

elements in use and their settings are all factors that will

affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond

the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements

may become hot enough to cause burns.

The HOT SURFACE indicator light is marked on the control

panel and will glow when any surface cooking element

heats up and will remain on until the cooktop has cooled

to a MODERATE level.

About the radiant surface elements

The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the

temperature rises, the element will glow red. To maintain

the selected setting the element will cycle ON and OFF.

The heating element retains enough heat to provide a

uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.

For efficient cooking, turn OFF the element several minutes

before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to

complete the cooking process.

Radiant surface elements may appear to

have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass

surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass

surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Important notes:

• Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant

heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI

setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic

smoothtop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will

occur more often if the cookware is too small for the

radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top

of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or

ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire

if placed too close to the surface elements.

• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass

cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care &

Cleaning and Before You Call checklist sections of this

Use & Care Guide.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/

porcelain cookware or ANY material that can melt to

make contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt

on the cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

Before Setting Surface Controls

Home Canning

Types of cooktop surface elements

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when

home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA

(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be

sure to read all the information they have available as well

as follow their recommendations for home canning

procedures.

The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements

located below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the

ceramic glass will outline the size and type of element

available.

The single radiant element or elements will have one round

outline pattern shown on the cooktop. The warmer zone

feature (on some models) located on the center rear area

of the cooktop uses one round outline and is designed to

keep food warm only.

• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.

Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges

that radiate from the bottom center when home canning

using a ceramic cooktop.

A dual (on some models) radiant element allows the user to

set the smaller inner portion as a single element or both

inner and outer portions may be set to heat together (See

Fig. 1).

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1

inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is

recommended to use smaller diameter canners on

electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops.

• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more

quickly.

• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water

to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest

possible setting to maintain that boil.

• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2

different surface cooking areas at the same time. This

will cause uneven heating results and may cause the

ceramic cooktop to fracture.

Fig. 1 - Position of control knobs may be different

depending on model.

Turbo Boil feature (on some models)

Your appliance may be equipped with a special element on

the ceramic cooktop marked TURBO BOIL.

These higher wattage radiant elements are best used when

bringing larger quantities of liquid to temperature and

when preparing larger quantities of food.

Adjusting oven temperature

Operating oven light (on some models)

The interior oven light will automatically turn ON when the

oven door is opened.

Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to

ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first few

uses, follow your recipe times and temperature

recommendations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking

too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust

the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven

temperature displayed.

Press the rocker switch marked OVEN LIGHT on the control

panel to turn the oven light ON or OFF whenever the oven

door is closed.

The oven light is located at the upper left rear wall of the

oven interior and is covered with a glass shield held by a

wire holder. The glass shield protects the bulb from high

temperatures and should always be in place whenever the

oven is in use.

The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F

(+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory

calibrated settings.

To adjust oven temperature:

1. Press Bake key pad.

To replace the interior oven light, see Replacing oven light

in the Care & Cleaning section.

2. Set the oven temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pressing

and holding the

key pad. Release when 550°F

appears in display (287°C if control is set for Celsius

display mode).

3. Within 2 seconds, press and hold Bake key pad until

numeric digit(s) appear. Release Bake keypad. The

display now indicates the amount of degrees offset from

the original factory temperature setting and the current

temperature setting. If the control still has the original

factory calibration, the display will read 0.

4. The temperature may be adjusted up or down 35°F

(19°C), in 5°F increments by pressing and holding the

key pads. Adjust until the desired amount

of temperature offset appears in the display and release

key pad.

5. Press

to accept and return to normal operation.

Important notes:

• Oven temperature adjustments made will not change the

Broil or Select Clean operating temperatures.

• DO NOT USE oven thermometers such as those found in

grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside

your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much

as 20 to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.

• The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your

oven control has been set to display °C (Celsius)

temperatures. Minimum and maximum settings for

Celsius is plus (+) or minus (-) 19°C.

• If the display mode is set for Celsius, adjustments made

will be in 1°C increments each press of the

key pads.

Select Clean

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures

(well above normal cooking temperatures) which eliminate

soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash

you can wipe away aftwerwards with a damp cloth.

• Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on the oven

bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting

a self-clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a

cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire

when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow

food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as

milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to

remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even

after cleaning.

The Select Clean function allows you to select 3 different

cleaning times from 2, 3 or 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning time

is best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light soils

and a 4-hour clean time for heavier stubborn soils.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). The

woven material of the oven door gasket is essential for a

good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or

remove the gasket. DO NOT use any cleaning materials

on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage

to the door gasket.

Read before starting Select Clean

Be sure to read all the following caution and important

statements BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle:

DO NOT leave small children unattended

near the appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the

outside of the range can become very hot to touch and can

cause burns.

DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom

or any other part of the range with aluminum foil. Doing

so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking

results and cause permanent damage to the oven interior.

Aluminum foil will melt to the interior of the oven.

The health of some birds is extremely

sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning

cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated

room.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can

damage the automatic door locking system.

Use caution when opening the oven door

after self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT and

can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side

of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or

steam to escape.

Care & Cleaning

Cooktop maintenance

Cooktop cleaning

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining

your ceramic glass cooktop.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot

cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and

can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the

recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic

surface (on the web visit www.sears.com for replacement

cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a non-

abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make

cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special

cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the

glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the

controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL. The

glass surface could be hot and burns may occur if the

glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly

to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive

plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire

cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned

thoroughly, leaving no residue.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the

cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface.

These marks should be removed immediately after the

cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream.

Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior

to future use.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly

to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive

plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as

needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop

for any other purpose.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough

bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor

blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the

surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop cleaning

cream and buff surface clean.

Do not:

• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.

• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;

replace with clean cookware before using.

• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in

the kitchen.

• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a

pan.

• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass

cooktop, they may cause it to crack.

30°

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled

or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent

damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur

if not removed immediately. After turning the surface

elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula

with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as

illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same

method for heavy or burned on soils.

Care & Cleaning

Aluminum foil and utensils

Cooktop cleaning

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in

the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials

such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat,

causing a fire hazard.

Protective Liners — DO NOT USE

ALUMINUM FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use

aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper

installation of these liners may result in risk of electric

shock, or fire.

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop

can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum

cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the

surface elements under ANY circumstances.

Do not use the following on the cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as

metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the

cooktop, making it more difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,

ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor

the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they

can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and

cause discoloration.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is

much lower than that of other metals. Care must be

taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the

cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when

using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged

or destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the

ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the

cooktop surface.

General cleaning

Refer to the Cleaning recommendation table in the Care &

Cleaning section for more detailed information about

cleaning specific parts of the range.

Important note:

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use

an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products

that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass

cooktops.

Before manually cleaning any part of the

range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is

COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the

oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
