•Do Not Leave Children Alone--Children should not be left alone
or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
=DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE UNITS,AREAS NEARTHESE UNITS,
HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OFTHE OVEN.
Both surface units and oven heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface 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

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
=Knowwhich knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off
before removing the pan.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation.
• 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 underaventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
•Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if
equipped)--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
under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with
coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for
models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. 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.
• Placement of 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 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.
• Do not cover the broiler insertwith aluminum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
• 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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that
could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath
each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.
•Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS
• 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.
• 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state tocause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
OVEN VENT Oven Vent Location
For models equipped with ceramic cooktops, the oven vent is located under
the left rear side of the control panel, When the oven is on, warm air is
released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation
in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR
TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides
on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Element ON and Hot Surface indicator Lights
Your range is equipped with two different surface control lights that will glow on your
range-- the Element On indicator light and a Hot Surface indicator light.
The Element On located on the control panel, will glow when any surface element is
turned on. A quick glance at this light after cooking is an easy check to be sure all
surface controls are turned off.
The Hot Surface indicator light, located on the control panel, will glow as the surface
cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has cooled to a
MODERATE level.
Surface Cooking
Using proper cookware
Cookware should haveflat
bottoms that make good contact
with the entire surface heating
element. Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across the bottom
of the cookware (See Fig. 1).
Be sure to follow the
recommendations for using
cookware as shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 1
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
Deep fat frying - Use a thermometer and adjust the surface
control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb
the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so
quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep
fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown or cook
properly.

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning and Before
You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Guide.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to
prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small
for the radiant element or ifthe cookware bottom is not flat.
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
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. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of
the element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-
bottomed cookware should be used. 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.

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. The ceramic fixture thermally insulates the heating element, concentrating heat in the
heating zone. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual
heat to complete the cooking process.
To Operate Single Radiant Surface Elements
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2
Io Ii
Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting
to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a
particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.
Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A
glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the
cookware indicates the cookware istoo small for the surface heating area.
Fig. 1
When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the
cookware. Note: the Element On indicator light will glow when one or more
elements are turned on. A quick glance at the indicator light(s) when cooking is
finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned off. The Hot
Surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to
the "Off" position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
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.
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.
Suggested Surface Control Settings
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-weight metal pans with lids. Settings
may vary when using other types of pans. Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being
cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
Surface Control Settings
Setting Type of Cooking
HIGH (HI - 9) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH (7- 8) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
MEDIUM (5- 6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces & gravies, steam

For general cleaning, use a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent & water or a 50/50 solution
of vinegar & water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry & polish with a soft cloth.
Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth. DO NOT spray liquids directly on the
control pad and display areas. DO NOT use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess
water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT use other liquid
cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or some paper towels - they will damage the finish.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF & remove the control knobs. To
remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Use the general cleaning instructions provided in the
paragraph above.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of
clean water & ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel
for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled
scouring pad. Rinse & wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may
become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the range top.
Remove oven racks. See "Removing & Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting Oven
Controls. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following the cleaner's recommendations. Rinse with
clean water & let dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a
cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the oven
rack positions).
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides & front of the oven door. Rinse well. You
may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. DO NOT immerse the door in
water. DO NOT spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. DO NOT
use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of
the oven door. DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven
material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or remove this gasket.
Clean stainless steel with hot soapy water & a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth.
DO NOT use cleaners with high conecentrations of chlorides or chlorines. DO NOT use harsh
scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless
steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners form the surface as bluish stains may occur during
heating that cannot be removed.

Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance
andproper cleaning is essential to maintaining yourceramic glass cooktopl
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.
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.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can
mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or
glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or
work surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop
surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
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.
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.
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. 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur ifyou
use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been
specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
Plastic or foods with ahigh 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.

Special Caution forAluminum Use on the Ceramic Cooktop
Aluminum Foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop will damage the ceramic cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.
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 allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be destroyed, but it may
fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Changing the Oven Light (some models)
On some models, the oven light automatically turns on when the door isopened.
Some models have a switch located on the control panel to turn on the light. The
oven light is located at the rear of the oven.
To replace the oven light:
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the range.
2. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
3. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the range back in).
4. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see Setting Oven Controls in
this Use & Care Manual.
Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL before
replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible
broken glass.

Before you caflforservice, review the following list. It may save you time & expense. The list includes common occurrences
(shown in bold) that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. The possible corrections to these
problems are provided with the problem listed:
Range is not level =(1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in
center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs
at base of range until the oven rack is level. (2) Be sure floor is
level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range. (3) If
floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the
situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear
not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have sufficient room for
range clearance.
Cannot move appliance easily. Apj)liance must be accessible
for service =(1) Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly.
Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible. (2)
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range
can be lifted over carpet.
Surface element too hot or not hot enouq_h =Incorrect control
setting. Be sure the correct control isON for the element to be
used.
Surface element does not heat =(1) Lightweight or warped pans
used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight
cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware
materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy &
medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat
unevenly, foods may burn easily. (2) No power to the appliance.
Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate" in this
checklist. (3)Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct
control is ON for the surface element to be used.
Entire a__pliance does not operate =(1) The time of day is not
set. The time of day must first be set in order to operate the oven.
See "To Set the Clock" in the Setting Oven Controls section.(2)
Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet. (3) Service
wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or
authorized service agent. (4) Electrical power outage. Check
house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for
service.
Oven does not operate =Be sure the oven controls are set
properly for the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls in
this Use & Care Manual or read the instructions "Entire appliance
does not operate" in this checklist.
Oven light does not work (some models)= Replace or tighten bulb.
See Changing Oven Light section in this Use & Care Manual.
Oven smokes excessively during broiling =(1) Control(s) not
set properly. Follow Broil instructions under Setting Oven
Controls. (2) Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop
position. (3) Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the
broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the
element. Preheat the broil element for searing. (4) Meat not
properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining
fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean. (5) Insert on
broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place grid
on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip
into pan (some models). (6) Grease has built up on oven surfaces.
Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease
or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent =Excessive
spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers or
large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up
excessive spillovers before starting oven. If flames or excessive
smoke are present see "Broiling" in the Setting Oven Controls
section.
Oven control beeps & displays any F code error (for example
F11} =Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Press
CLEAR/OFF to clear the display & stop beeping. Try the Bake or
Broil function again. If the Fcode error repeats, remove power
suppy to appliance, wait 5 minutes and then repower the appliance
and set clock time of day. Try the Bake or Broil function again. If
the fault recurs, record fault number, press CLEAR/OFF & contact
an authorized service agent.
Poor baking results =Many factors affect baking results. Make
sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the oven
& space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to
the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting
the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel
the oven is too hot or cool, see Adjusting Your Oven
Temperature in this Use & Care Manual.
Metal marks (Ceramic Cooktop models) =Sliding or scraping of
metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on
cooktop surface. Use a ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme to
remove the marks. See"Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance" in the
Care & Cleaning section.
Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface (Ceramic Cooktop
models) =(1) Coarse particles such as salt or sand between
cooktop and utensils can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop
surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small
scratches do not affect cooking and will become less visible with
time. (2) Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass
cooktop have been used. See "Cooktop Cleaning &
Maintenance." (3) Cookware with rough bottom has been used.
Use smooth, flat-bottomed cookware.
Brown streaks or specks on cooktop surface (Ceramic
Cooktop models) =Boilovers are cooked onto surface. Use razor
blade scraper to remove soil. See "Cooktop Cleaning and
Maintenance" in the Care & Cleaning section.
Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen (Ceramic Cooktop
models) - Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using a
ceramic-glass cooktop cleaning creme. Use cookware with clean,
dry bottom s.
