Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size so
it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.
•Know which knob controls each surface burner/surface unit.
Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn
the burner off before removing the pan.
•Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top
burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
•Use proper pan size. This cooktop can be equipped with one
or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having
fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve
efficiency.
•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Burners/Unit --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 burners.
•Never Leave Surface Burners/Unit Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
•Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of
the cooktop, except as suggested in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or
fire.
•Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The Searing Grill is not
designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.
_Do Not Use Stove Top Grills on Your Sealed Gas
Burners--If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will
cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon
monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be
hazardous to your health.
Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner/Unit Covers. If a burner/
unit is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot
and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner/unit is
on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also
be done to the cooktop or burners/unit because the covers may
cause overheating. Air will blocked from the burner/unit and cause
combustion problems.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
GLASS COOKTOP
•Do Not Operate or Clean a Broken Cooktop Glass.--If glass top
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cooktop Glass with Caution.--tf awet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam
burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
•Avoid Scratching the Cooktop Glass with Sharp Objects.
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 to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.

Distributor or other Qualified Agency.
Surface Cooking
Recommended Pan Configuration
Using cookwares larger than 9" wide on front
burners could expose you to burn hazard ( by
unintentional contact with pan) when turning
ON/OFF the burner valves.
For best practical considerations, please
follow the Recommended Pan Configuration.

Surface Cooking
Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to
complete the process. Use the chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for
various types of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being
cooked will influence the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If
the fat is too cool, the food wilt 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 nor cook properly.
*Flame Size Type of Cooking
High Flame Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Medium Flame Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings
may vary when using other types of pans.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply wastes
heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
Proper Burner Adjustments
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue
and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply
defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions
under General Care & Cleaning.
Placement of Burner Heads and Caps
Your Cooktop is equipped with three different sized
burners: Power Burner, Standard Burner and Simmer
Burner.
Place burner head over each gas orifice, matching the
head with the orifice size. Be careful not to damage the
electrode while placing the head over the orifice. Make
sure electrode fits correctly into slot in burner head. Place
a burner cap on each burner head, matching the cap size
to the head size. The cap for each burner has an inner
locating ring which centers the cap correctly on the burner
head. Be sure that atl the burner caps and burner heads
are correctly placed BEFORE using your appliance.

Opening
Make sure each burner
cap is properly aligned

Turn the burner on to
determine if it will light. If
the burner does not light,
contact a Sears Service
Center. Do not service

Surface Cooking
Placement of Burner Grates
Place grates over the burners. Fit the tips of the grate feet
into the holes in the ceramic glass.
Grate
Setting Surface Controls
Your cooktop may be equipped with any combination of the following burners:
Simmer Burner: best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
Standard Burner: used for most all surface cooking needs.
Large Burner: best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature and when
preparing larger quantities of food.
Regardless of size, always select a utensil that is suitable for the amount and type of food
being prepared. Select a burner and flame size appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to
extend beyond the outer edge of the pan.
Your cooktop is also equipped with 270 ° rotation flame control valves. These valves provide
enhanced control of the burner flame. Each burner lights automatically from an electric
ignitor when its control knob is turned to the UTE position.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon
holders or plastic wrappings on top of the cooktop when it is in use. These items could
melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to a
flame.
To operate the surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Note: All electronic ignitors wilt
click at the same time. However, onlythe burner you are turning on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. Push in and turn the control knob tothe desired flame size. The control knobsdo not
have to be set at aparticular mark. Use the guides and adjust the flame as needed. DO
NOT cook with the Surface Control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic ignitorwilt
continue to click ifleft in the LITE position, causing premature wear.)
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a
surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the Surface Control knob
to LITE. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.
NOTE: White glass can
appear green when itis
hot. This is normal, and it
will come back to white
when it cools down.

General Care & Cleaning
Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop_ Cleaning Creme (P/N 22-40079) to the
ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge
(see instructions below). 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. De not use your cooktop as a
cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. De net cook foods
directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. De net drop heavy or
hard objects on the glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
To clean the cooktop glass
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 a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue
Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned
thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the sponge you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
First, clean the surface as described above. Then, 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.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use any scrub pad other than a 3M Scotch-Brite®
Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge.
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.

General Care & Cleaning
Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass 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.
@@
@@
Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
•Aluminum foil
Use of aluminum foil wilt damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.
•Aluminum utensils
Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots
or pans are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be ruined, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic
glass surface, permanently damaging it.
11

General Care & Cleaning
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Cooktop

Canning Tips & Information
1. Use tested recipes and follow instructionscarefully. Check with a manufac-
turer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom
surface is flat.
3. Center canner on the surface element.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring
the water to a boil ; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to
maintain a constant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates :
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the burner grate.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and
surrounding surfaces to cool down.Try to avoid canning on the same burner
unit all day.
Safe canning requires that harmful microorganisms are de-
stroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath can-
ner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required
time. When canning with a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained
continuously for the required time.
Canning can gener-
ate large amounts of steam. Use
extreme caution to prevent burns.
Always raise the lid to vent steam
away from you.
