IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area before turning it on. Turn the cooking area o before removing the cookware.
Cookware 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 cookware should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over other cooking areas.
Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of dierent sizes. Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface unit size. Using the proper cookware on the cooking area will improve eciency.
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.
Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes in temperature. Check the cookware man­ufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil­overs may cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be damaged and may damage the cooktop.
Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a broiler pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.
When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If cooktop 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. 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 harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the appliance 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. Touching surfaces in this area when the oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items can 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 in hot, do not let pot­holder contact hot heating element in oven. 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 cookware and utensils before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using Proper Cookware
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 Figure
2 and Figure 3.
Figure 2: Testing cookware
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (Figure 2). Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element ( Figure 3). For detailed information about the ceramic cook­top, refer to the “Glass Cooktop Cleaning” on page
26.
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:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and 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 (See Aluminum).
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.

Figure 3: Proper cookware placement
Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
IMPORTANT
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, and 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.
CAUTION
The cooktop should not be used as a cutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing food directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensil) is not recommended as dicult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause potential fire hazard. Never use the griddle or similar cooking sheet on the ceramic glass cooktop.

About Surface Elements
For ecient cooking, turn o the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings are all factors that will aect 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 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. 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 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 o. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the o cycle.
Hot Surface Indicator Light
Your appliance is equipped with a radiant surface control indicator light, which is located on the con­trol panel (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Hot surface indicator light location
The hot surface indicator light will glow when any surface cooking area heats up and will remain on until the glass cooktop has cooled to a moderate level (Figure 5).
NOTE
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and o, 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 if the cookware bottom is not flat.
For detailed information about the ceramic cook­top, refer to the “Glass Cooktop Cleaning” on
page 26.
CAUTION
Do not allow aluminum foil, or any material that can melt, to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic cooktop.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Home Canning
CAUTION
Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.
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) Web site and be sure to read all the infor­mation they have available as well as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
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. Heat is spread more even­ly when the bottom surface is flat.
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 and to center canners on the burner grates.
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.
Use tested recipes and follow instructions care­fully. Check with your local Cooperative Agri­cultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning information.
It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended amount of time.
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.

To Operate the Surface Elements:
CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned o. The indicator light will turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned o.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
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.
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant or coil surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Figure
7). Start most cooking operations on a higher
setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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 is too small for the surface heating area.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cook­ware.
Surface Cooking Tips:
For ecient cooking, turn o the element sev­eral minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
The surface Element On indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned o.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circu­lation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close o the openings with aluminum foil or any other material. Steam or mois­ture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.
The Cooling Fan
The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled through the vents between the oven door and the control panel, as shown in Figure 8.
WARNING
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 arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level before using.

Figure 8: Oven vent location
Removing, Replacing, and Arranging Racks
This appliance comes with two flat racks.
CAUTION
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.
Figure 9: Removing, replacing, and arranging racks
Figure 10: Flat oven rack
Air Circulation in the Oven
The rack has a special shape in the rear which helps with the heat circulation.
Do not push the baking tray all the way to the back wall of the cavity. This prevents the heat from circulating around the tray. The food may be burnt, especially in the rear part of the tray.
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2 inches (5 cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation. Be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides, or back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around cookware for even heat to reach the food.

If you choose to use a single rack while cooking, then radiant baking is preferred.
IMPORTANT
For this appliance, single rack radiant bake is the recommended bake function for best results for batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes, pastries, and breads.
For best results when baking with one oven rack, place racks in positions 2 or 3 (Figure 15).
Multi-Rack Baking
Figure 17: Baking with multiple levels & racks
If you choose to use multiple rack while cooking, then Convection baking is preferred.
For best results when baking cakes or cookies using two oven racks, place racks in positions 1 and 3 (Figure 15) and place pans as shown in
Figure 17.
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation
When baking using one oven racks, position bakeware as shown in Figure 16. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
NOTE
The single rack baking image is correct, but it’s also for presentation purposes. You may also bake with the left pan in the front and the right pan in the back. Either position for either pan bakes correctly.
IMPORTANT
When baking using two oven racks, the pans on each rack must be swapped half way through the cook time for best results.
General Baking Tips:
Preheat the oven 8-10 minutes before baking items like cookies, biscuits, cakes, and breads.
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are recom­mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies, and muns.
Do not open the oven door too often. Open­ing the door will reduce the temperature in the oven.
Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May require reducing oven temperature

Setting Convection Bake
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 19). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even baking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time. Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard pan will bake faster and more evenly with the convection feature. Multiple rack baking may slightly increase bake time for some foods, but the overall result is time saved.
Benefits of Convection Bake:
Superior multiple oven rack performance
Foods bake more evenly
Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.
IMPORTANT
When using convection bake, decrease your normal cooking times. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked
To set convection bake:
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns
CAUTION
Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom. To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always bake foods in the oven using bakeware posi- tioned on an oven rack.
1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool.
2. Allow oven to preheat the oven for 8-to-10 min­utes before baking. Preheating is not necessary when roasting, cooking casseroles, or broiling most foods
3. Turn the oven mode knob to the conv bake po­sition (Figure 20).
CAUTION
Be aware that the convection fan will continue to run after the door is opened. This is normal. Use caution when reaching inside of the oven. Hot air will be pushed out of the appliance.

Figure 24.
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation.
IMPORTANT
When baking using two oven racks, the pans on each rack must be swapped half way through the cook time for best results. The top rack should go on the bottom rack and the bottom to the top.
General Baking Tips
When using convection, use bakeware with low sides. This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.
Because most food items will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature, it is advisable to reduce recipe’s recommended temperature by 25° for best results. Follow the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recom­mended cook time.
When using Conv Bake, cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
Fully preheat the oven for 8-10 minutes before baking items like cookies, biscuits and breads.
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are recom­mended for pies. Shiny pans are recom- mend­ed for cakes, cookies, and muns.

Setting Convection Broil
Use convection broil to cook thicker cuts of meat, fish, and poultry that require direct exposure to radiant heat and the convection fan for optimum browning results. Convection broil gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. It uses the broil element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat even­ly and continuously within the oven.
The convection fan will begin rotating once convec­tion broil has been activated.
Convection Broiling Tips:
Always pull the rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
Always broil or convection broil with the oven door closed.
For optimum results, preheat the broil element for 2-to-5 minutes before adding food.
Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.
Always use the broiler pan and its insert when broiling, if included. It allows the dripping grease to be kept away from the high heat of the broil element.
Do not use the broil pan without the insert. Do not cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire. Do not use the roasting rack when broiling.
Since convection broil cooks food quickly, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recom­mended cook time of your recipe (check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained
Incorrect operation of the appliance or defec­tive components can cause dangerous over­heating. To prevent this, this appliance has a safety thermostat which interrupts the power supply. The appliance must be manually acti­vated after the temperature drop, restoring the timer.

CARE AND CLEANING
Glass Cooktop Cleaning
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to main­taining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply some glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner. Bu with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge. 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.
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
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the con­trols are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The glass surfacecould be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled suciently.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of glass-ceramic cooktop clean­er directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive cloth or sponge 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 glass-ceramic cooktop clean­er directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive cleaning tool, 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 bu surface clean.

Solutions to Common Problems:
Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time and expense. Possible solutions are provided with the problem listed
Problem Solution
Poor baking results. Many factors eect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center
food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat oven to the set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the reci­pe’s recommended temperature or baking time.
Oven light does not work. Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See “Replacing the Oven
Light” on page 28.
Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent.
Oven racks discolored or do not slide easily.
Oven smokes excessively when broiling.
Areas of discoloration with metallic sheen on cooktop surface.
Surface element is too hot or not hot enough.
Surface element does not heat or does not heat evenly.
Scratches or abrasions on cooktop surface.
Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto oven bottom or oven cavity. Wipe up excessive spills before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present when using broil, see “Setting Broil” on page 17
Clean by using a mild abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instruc­tions. Rinse with clean water, dry, and replace in oven.
Incorrect setting. See “Setting Broil” on page 17 Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat and broil element. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broil­ing frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.
Mineral deposits from water and food. Remove using the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface (on the web visit www. sears.com for replacement cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Bu with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge
Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting.
Be sure the correct surface control knob is turned on for element needed.
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 aect heating. Heavy and medi­um-weight pans heat evenly.Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
Coarse particles such as salt or hardened soils between cooktop and uten­sils can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before usage. Small scratches do not aect cooking and will be­come less visible with time.
Metal marks on the cook­top.
Cleaning materials not recommended for ceramic-glass cooktop have been used. Apply a few drops of glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner directly on the area(s) with scratches or abrasions. Bu with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge. For more information see “Glass Cooktop Cleaning” on page 26.
Cookware with rough bottom was used. Use smooth, flat-bottomed cook­ware.
Sliding or scraping of metal utensils on cooktop surface. Do not slide metal utensils on cooktop surface. Apply a few drops of glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner directly on the area(s) with scratches or abrasions. Bu with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge. For more information, see “Glass Cooktop
