IREMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models)
during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may
become hot. I
Power Burner
The left and right front burners are designed to give ultra-high
power whenthey are turned to HI. They can be used to rapidly
bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of food.
The Cooktop Lockout prevents unintended use of the surface
burners. When the cooktop is locked out, the surface burners
cannot be turned on by the control knobs.
When power is first supplied to the range, or if the range loses
power, the surface burners will be in the Cooktop Lockout
position. The surface burners cannot be activated until power is
restored to the range and (or) the Cooktop Lockout is
disengaged. Also, cooktop burners will be in the Cooktop
Lockout position during the self-clean cycle.
To Lock/Unlock Cooktop:
Before using, turn all control knobs to OFF. Press and hold the
Cooktop Lockout icon keypad for 3 seconds. A single tone will
sound, and "Loc On" and a cooktop icon will appear on the
display. After 3 seconds the clock display will reappear.

Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size
and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not
yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
To Clean:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach
or rust removers.
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to "General Cleaning" section.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick. Ifthe burner needs to be adjusted, contact a Sears
trained repair specialist.
4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are
properly aligned with the burner cap.
Incorrect
The SURESIMMER TM burner is an adjustable heat setting for
more precise simmering and low temperature cooking. It is the
right rear burner.
To Use:
1. Push the right rear burner control knob in and turn counter-
clockwise to "LITE," then to "LO."
Turn knob to OFF when finished.
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
• Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking
area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not
extend more than 1/2"(1.3 cm) outside the cooking area.
• Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements
or surface burners at the same time.
• For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, a well-
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used
as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or
grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the
properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
Correct
Turn on the burner. Ifthe burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself, but contact a trained repair specialist.

COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS

OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-
ventilated room.
IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil,
liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the
oven bottom finish.
• Do not block or cover the oven bottom vents (on some
models).
• Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to
move freely for best cooking results.
• To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1" (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up
at the edges.
IMPORTANT: Do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven
door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain
finish.
RACKS
Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks
with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. To move a
rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, then lift
out. Use the following illustration and chart as a guide.
