KEY USAGE TIPS
Surface Temperatures
When the range is in use, all range surfaces may become hot, such as the knobs and oven door.
Storage Drawer
When the oven is in use, the drawer may become hot. Do not store plastics, cloth, or other items that could melt or burn in thedrawer.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven and should not be blocked or covered. Do not set plastics, paper, orother items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when thepreheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Align the gas tube opening in the burner base with the orifice holder on the cooktop and the igniter electrode with the notch inthe burner base.

Cookware
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, and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or coils. Aluminum andcopper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, an aluminum or copper base can leave permanent marks on the cooktop surface.
Cookware material affects cooking results because it is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under thebroiler.
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,no space or light should be visible between it and thecookware.
Cookware Characteristics
Ceramic or
ceramic glass
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Heats slowly, but unevenly.
■ Ideal results on low-to-medium heat
settings
■ May scratch the cooktop.
Copper
■ Heats very quickly andevenly.
■ May leave copper residues which may
bediminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.
■ Can leave a permanent stain or bond to
the cooktop if overheated.
Earthenware
Porcelain
enamel-on-steel or cast iron
■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■ Use on low heat settings.
■ May scratch the cooktop.
■ See stainless steel orcastiron.
■ Porcelain enamel bakeware without a
metal base may bond to the cooktop if overheated.
Stainless steel
■ Heats quickly, butunevenly.
■ A core or base of aluminum or copper
on stainless steel provides even heating.
Use the following table as a guide for cookware material characteristics.
Cookware Characteristics
Aluminum
■ Heats quickly and evenly.
■ Suitable for all types of cooking
■ Medium or heavy thickness is best
formost cooking tasks.
■ May leave aluminum residues
which may be diminished if cleaned immediately after cooking.
Cast iron
■ Heats slowly and evenly.
■ Good for browning and frying
■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.
■ Rough edges or burrs may scratch
thecooktop.
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy efficiency. The cookware should be about the same sizeas thecooking area outlined on the cooktop or the coil element. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) beyond thesurface cooking area or element.
The cookware should be centered above the burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the cookware.
11
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
■ Do not place canner on two surface burners at the same time.
OVEN USE
■ For more information, contact your local agricultural extension
office or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner. For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately 21/2 to 31/2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.
* If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, the recessed ends
must be placed in the rack position above the desired position of the food. See the following illustration.
A
B
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door orbottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2"(5cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure thatno bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
■ Make sure racks are level.
To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and table asa guide.

IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as shown in the previous figure.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack (non-convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6. 2-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6. 3-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 7 and a Max
Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 5.
Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
Baking Layer Cakes
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use the Convection Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 2, and a Max Capacity Oven rack in rack position 6. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 3" (7.6 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front cakes.
The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following table.
Flat Rack Position* Type of Food
7 Broiling/searing meats,
hamburgers,steaks 6 Broiled meats, poultry, fish 3 or 4 Most baked goods, casseroles, frozen
foods 2 Roasted meats 1 Large roasts or poultry
Baking Cookies
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use the Convection Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 2, andaMax Capacity Oven rack in rack position 6.
15
Oven Vent
A
A. Oven vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven andshould not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
Temperature Management System
The Temperature Management System electronically regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and Bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in intervals. On convection range models, the fan will run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for short intervals during Bake to provide the best results. This feature isautomatically activated when the oven is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in, unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Baking and Roasting
Preheating
When beginning a Bake, Convect Bake, or Convect Roast cycle, the oven will begin preheating after Start is pressed. The oven will take approximately 12 to 15 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do not open the door during preheat before the tone sounds.
Rapid Preheat
Rapid Preheat can be used to shorten the preheating time. Only one standard flat oven rack should be in the oven during Rapid Preheat. Extra racks should be removed prior to starting Rapid Preheat. Press RAPID PREHEAT and follow the oven control prompts, or, if preheating has already started, simply press RAPID PREHEAT. The preheating cycle should be completed before placing food in the oven. When the Rapid Preheat cycle iscomplete, the oven starts a normal Bake cycle.
IMPORTANT: Rapid Preheat should be used only for one-rack baking.
Broiling
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting foodin, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of theoven rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling temperature.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting is, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use rack position 6 or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain the proper temperature.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed
todrain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. To purchase a broiler pan, Part Number 4396923 may be
ordered from sears.com. See the back cover of this Use and Care Guide for additional contact information.
Oven Temperature
While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature, but they may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
NOTE: On models with convection, the convection fan may run in the non-convection Bake mode to improve oven performance.
16
Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air inastandard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture, and yielding crustier breads.
During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil, and convection elements cycle on and off in intervals while the fan circulates the hot air. During convection broiling, the broil and convection elements cycle on and off.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan willturn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven dooris closed.
With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower temperature and/or a shorter cooking time than in a standard thermal oven. Use the following table as a guide.
Convection Mode Time/Temp. Guidelines
Convection Bake 25°F (15°C) lower temperature,
possibleshortened cooking time Convection Roast Cooking time shortened by up to 30% Convection Broil Shortened cooking time
Convect Options
Convect Bake - multiple-rack baking or cookies, biscuits, breads, casseroles, tarts, tortes, cakes.
Convect Roast - whole chicken or turkey, vegetables, pork roasts, beef roasts
Convect Broil - thicker cuts or unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish, or poultry

RANGE CARE
Clean Cycle
Lo Temp Clean is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odor-free alternative to traditional self-cleaning options.
Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean cycle. If your oven cavity is above 200°F (93°C), “Oven Cooling” will appear in the display and the Clean cycle will notbeactivated until the oven cavity cools down.
To Clean:
1. Remove all racks and accessories from the oven cavity andwipe excess soil. Use a plastic scraper to remove easilyremoved soils.
2. Pour 1 3/4 cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of distilled or filtered water onto the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chemicals or other additives with the water. Do not open the oven door during the Clean cycle. The water on the oven bottom is hot.
3. Press LO TEMP CLEAN and then START on the oven control panel.
4. Allow 40 minutes for cleaning and cool down. A beep will sound when the Clean cycle is complete.
5. Press STOP at the end of the cycle. Stop may be pressed at any time to stop the Clean cycle.
6. Remove the residual water and loosened soils with a sponge or cloth immediately after the Clean cycle is complete. Much of the initial 1 3/4 cups (14 oz [414 mL]) of water will remain inthe oven after the cycle is completed. If additional soils remain, leave a small amount of water in the oven bottom toassist with the cleaning.
7. If any soils remain, remove them with a non-scratch scrubbing sponge or plastic scraper. Additional Clean cyclesmay be run to help remove the stubborn soils.
IMPORTANT: Do not use oven cleaners. The use of chemicals, including commercial oven cleaners or metal scouring pads, maycause permanent damage to the porcelain surface of the oven interior.
NOTES:
■ The range should be level to ensure that the entire surface
of the bottom of the oven cavity is covered by water at the beginning of the Clean cycle.
■ For best results, use distilled or filtered water. Tap water
mayleave mineral deposits on the oven bottom.
■ Before removing the residual water and loosened soils at the
end of the Clean cycle, insert a cloth or paper towel between the lower edge of the oven door and the front frame to keep water from spilling onto the front of the range and the floor.
■ Soil baked on through several cooking cycles will be more
difficult to remove with the Clean cycle.
■ Nonabrasive scrub sponges or eraser style cleaning pads
(without cleaners) can be effective for cleaning the oven cavity walls, oven door, and oven bottom for difficult soils. Forbest results, moisten the pads and sponges before use.
■ Run an additional Clean cycle for stubborn soils.
■ Kitchen and appliance cleaner and cooktop cleaner may be
used to clean the oven bottom, walls, and door when the oven has finished the cycle and returned to room temperature. If cooktop cleaner is used, it isrecommended to wipe out the cavity with distilled water as well.
