COOKTOP USE

Control Knobs

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LITE. Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware onto the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or while the grate is vacant.

To S et :

1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE.

All 4 surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame.

2. Turn knob anywhere between HI and LO. Use the following

chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

SETTING RECOMMENDED USE

LITE

Medium High 6-8

■ Light the burner.

■ Start food cooking.

■ Bring liquid to a boil.

■ Hold a rapid boil.

■ Quickly brown or sear food.

■ To f ry ch ic ke n .

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

Power Burner

The left front burner is designed to give ultra-high power when it is turned to HI. It can be used to rapidly bring liquid to a boil and to cook large quantities of food. On some models both front burners are Power Burners.

Cooktop Hot Indicator Light

The cooktop hot indicator light is located on the control console. This indicator light will glow red as long as any surface cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area(s) is turned off.

Cooktop Lockout

(on some models)

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.

To Lock/Unlock Cooktop:

Before using, turn all control knobs to OFF. Press and hold the TOP keypad for 5 seconds. A single tone will sound, and “Loc on” and a cooktop icon will appear on the display. After 5 seconds the clock display will reappear.

Repeat to unlock cooktop. “Loc OFF” will appear on the display for 5 seconds, and the picture of the cooktop will disappear from the display.

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a

surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.

Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Protect it from spillovers by always using a burner cap.

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 C le an:

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. If the 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.

SURESIMMER™

The SURESIMMER™ burner is an adjustable heat setting for more precise simmering and low temperature cooking. It is the right rear burner.

To U se :

1. Push the right rear burner control knob in and turn counter-

clockwise to “LITE,” then to “LO.”

2. Push in and turn knob to OFF when finished.

Home Canning

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. Canners should not extend more than 1" (2.5 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.

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, 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.

5. Turn on the burner. If the 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

Aluminum

■ Heats quickly and evenly.

■ Suitable for all types of cooking.

■ Medium or heavy thickness is best for

most cooking tasks.

Cast iron

Ceramic or Ceramic glass

■ Heats slowly and evenly.

■ Good for browning and frying.

■ Maintains heat for slow cooking.

■ Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

■ Heats slowly, but unevenly.

■ Ideal results on low to medium heat

settings.

Broil

■ Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the range. It is

designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.

■

For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

■ Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on

the edges to prevent curling.

■ Pull out oven rack to the stop position before turning or

removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.

■ After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing

the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Before broiling, position rack according to Broiling Chart. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close oven door.

Slow Cooker Function

The SLOW COOKER function cooks food slowly at a low temperature, similar to a countertop slow cooker. Recommended cook times are 4 to 5 hours for the HI (high) setting and 8 to 9 hours for LO (low), (small quantities may require less time). The maximum time the SLOW COOKER function will operate is 12 hours unless the Sabbath Mode has been activated. The timer counts up in hours and minutes when the function starts.

The SLOW COOKER is ideal for roasting beef, pork and poultry. The exterior of beef and pork will become very dark, but not burnt. This is normal. The interior will remain juicy and tender. Poultry will also darken, especially in areas not covered with skin, and it will become crispier than if roasted conventionally.

■ Thaw all frozen foods before cooking using the SLOW

COOKER function.

■ Preheating the oven is not necessary.

■ Cook on a single rack, using rack positions 2 or 3. See

“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

■ Do not open the oven door often, or leave the door open

when checking foods. If heat loss occurs, cooking time may need to be extended.

■ Cover foods to keep them moist, or use a loose or vented

cover to allow foods to brown and crisp.

■ Roasts can be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook

time will vary, however, depending on the weight, amount of fat and bone and the shape of the roast.

■ Use a food thermometer and refer to a current food

temperature chart to determine when food is done.

■ Stirring, turning or rearranging the food is not necessary.

(on some models)

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

WARNING

Burn Hazard Keep children away from lower oven when hot. Failure to do so can result in burns.

NOTE: The Triple Task Oven Drawer will not operate when the main oven is in self-clean mode.

Examples of the types of foods to be cooked in the Triple Task Oven Drawer are fresh or frozen pizza, frozen foods or baked potatoes.

The maximum height of foods that can be placed in the Triple Task Oven Drawer is 2" (5 cm), so watch foods that rise.

For best results, use insulated or aluminum cookware/bakeware; do not use dark coated nonstick cookware/bakeware. Use pans large enough to hold food and any juices that may result from cooking.

The oven rack must always be in place when cooking in the Triple Task Oven Drawer to allow movement of air under the food. See illustration below for proper position of rack.

To U se :

1. Push in and turn the TRIPLE TASK OVEN DRAWER selector

knob to the desired temperature for the food being cooked.

2. Allow the oven drawer to preheat.

■ The indicator light above the control knob will remain lit

until the unit has completed the preheat cycle. The indicator light will turn on and off as the element turns on and off.

3. Open Triple Task Oven Drawer completely and place food on

the rack.

4. Close the oven drawer. Be sure the catch system latches

completely.

5. Halfway through the cooking process, turn food.

6. Turn selector knob to OFF when finished cooking.

Use as a Warming Drawer

The Triple Task Oven Drawer may also be used as a warming drawer. See “Using Warm & Ready Drawer.”

Using Warm & Ready Drawer

(on some models)

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

The Warm & Ready warming drawer is ideal for keeping hot cooked foods at serving temperature. It may also be used for warming breads and pastries.

The warming drawer comes with a rack that may be used in 2 positions, or not at all.

Do not put food or bakeware/cookware directly on the bottom of the oven drawer. To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Do not cover food with plastic wrap. Use a lid or foil.

Operate/close drawer slowly to minimize sliding of cookware. Foods should always be checked early in the cooking cycle

because cooking times in the Triple Task Oven Drawer may differ slightly from those of the main oven.

Always check doneness of foods at the minimum cooking time in recipe or on package directions. When checking the doneness of food, open the door completely.

During cooking, limit the number of times you open the Triple Task Oven Drawer to minimize heat loss and uneven cooking results.

Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at the same time. For best results, do not hold foods longer than 1 hour. For smaller quantities or heat-sensitive foods (such as eggs), do not hold longer than 30 minutes.

Food must be at serving temperature before being placed in the warming drawer. (Breads, pastries, and fruit pies may be heated from room temperature on the HI setting.)

Remove food from plastic bags and place in oven-safe container. Cover foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not cover with plastic wrap. Empty serving dishes and dinner plates can be heated while the warming drawer is preheating.

To U se :

1. Position rack, if needed, in the warming drawer.

2. Turn the WARM & READY selector switch to choose MAX,

MED, or LO temperature setting.

Turn the TRIPLE TASK OVEN DRAWER selector switch to WARM. Low, medium and high settings are found within the “WARM” area marked on the knob (low is near the “W, ” high is near the “M”).
