This Use & Care Manual contains general operating instructions for your appliance and feature information for several
models. Your product may not have all the described features. The graphics shown are representative. The graphics on
your appliance may not look exactly like those shown. Common sense and caution must be practiced when installing,
operating and maintaining any appliance.
Induction Cooktop Features
Fast and Efficient- Induction cooking heats faster while using less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and
efficient when simmering.
A Cooler Cooktop- A unique feature of the Induction cooking is that whether elements are ON or recently turned OFF,
the cooktop will be cooler than radiant element ceramic cooktops. Virtually no wasted heat is produced since the heat
begins with the presence of a pan.
Easy Clean-ups- The cooler cooktop surface (when compared to a radiant cooktop) makes clean-ups easier. Spills resist
sticking or burning so they wipe up easier.
Magnetic Detector- The coil sensor automatically detects whether the pan is made of magnetic materials and eliminates
any accidental “turn-ONs”, such as might occur from contact with a spatula or spoon
PanSizeDetection- The pan size recognition sensor automatically detects and adapts the Cooking Zones to the pan
sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking.
More Responsive - Induction cooktops are more responsive than their electric or gas counterparts because only the pan
heats. This type of cooking heats easier and will be just as responsive when reducing to a simmer.
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. But the
glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur if touched.

Before Using the Cooktop
USE THE CORRECT COOKWARE TYPE - The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors
located below the cooktop surface require the use of cookware made with magnetic
material in order to start the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.
When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer
for use with Induction cooktops. If you are not sure, use a magnet to test whether
the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the
material type is correct for Induction cooking (See Fig. 1).
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on
your Induction Cooktop surface. This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing
scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop surface
without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter the overall
appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the surface difficult and degrade the
overall appearance of the cooktop.
MinimumPanSizeRequirementsforeachCookingZone
NOTE: Pan bottoms should not
extend more than ½” (13mm) beyond
outer Cooking Zone (Induction) rings.

ENGLISH

USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE- The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop require a MINIMUM pan
size to be used at each location (Fig. 2). The inner ring of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the correct MINIMUM pan
size. The pan bottom must FULLY cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur.
The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the pan MAXIMUM size. After centering the cookware
on the cooktop, make sure the cookware does not extend more than 1/2” beyond the thicker line on the Cooking Zone
(See example in Fig. 2).
NOTE: If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO SMALL,
the affected Cooking Zone display will flash the power level and the pan will not heat.

Before Using the Cooktop
Use Quality Cookware in Good
Condition
The cookware used with the Induction
Cooktop should have flat bottoms that
make good contact with the entire surface
of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Fig. 1). Be sure to follow all
the recommendations for using cookware
as shown in Fig. 2.
Also remember to:
• Use cookware made with the correct
material type for Induction Cooking (See
page 7 Fig. 1).
• Use quality cookware with heavier
bottoms for better heat distribution
allowing for more even cooking results.
• The pan size should match the amount
of food being prepared.
• Donotletpansboildry.This may
cause permanent damage in the form
of breakage, fusion, or marring that can
affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of
damage is not covered by your warranty).
• Do not use dirty pans with grease
buildup. Always use pans that are easy to
clean after cooking.
INCORRECT
• Cookware not centered on
Cooking Zone surface.
• Curved or warped pan bottoms
or sides.
Induction Cookware Recommendations
CORRECT
• Cookware centered correctly on
Cooking Zone surface.
• Flat pan bottom & straight sides.
Fig. 1
The Cooking Zones may
appear to be cool while turned ON and
after they have been turned OFF. But the
glass surface may be HOT from residual
heat transferred from the cookware and
burns may occur if touched.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT
COOKWARE or PANS directly with
hands. Always use oven mitts or pot
holders to protect hands from burns.
DO NOT SLIDE Cookware
across the cooktop surface. Doing so
may permanently damage the appearance
of the ceramic cooktop.
• Pan does not meet the minimum
size required for the Cooking
Zone used (See page 7).
• Pan bottom rests on cooktop trim
or does not rest completely on the
cooktop surface.
• Heavy handle tilts pan. • Pan is properly balanced.
PLEASE NOTE - ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above
in Fig. 2 may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic
cooktop surface. If the cookware does not meet any of these
conditions, one or more of the Cooking Zones will not heat, which will
beindicatedbyashingpowerleveldisplay.Correcttheproblems
before attempting to reactivate the cooktop.

Before Setting the Cooktop
COOKTOP
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning creme (on the web visit www.
sears.com for replacement cleaner, item number 40079) to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-
scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning creme leaves
a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
NOTE: Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section
and Before You Call checklist section of this manual.

Be sure that your finger is placed in the center of the touch pad. If the finger is not placed on the center of a pad, the
cooktop may not respond to the selection made.
Lightly contact the pad with the flat part of your entire fingertip. Do not just use the narrow end of your fingertip.
Operating the Cooking Zones
The Induction cooktop has four Cooking Zones designed for cookware of various sizes. Be sure to place cookware that
meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements (see Fig. 2, page 7) for the Cooking Zone desired and is best for
the amount of food being prepared. Place the cookware with the prepared food on the Cooking Zone BEFORE setting any
of the Cooktop controls.
To Turn ON one or more of the Cooking Zones:
1. Place the prepared food using the correct type and size cookware on the desired Cooking Zone. Be sure to center
the cookware on Cooking Zone completely covering the minimum ring marked on the Zone surface. NOTE: If the
cookware requirements for the Cooking Zone (See Fig. 2, page 8) are not met the sensors will detect a problem and
the display will flash with the power level in the affected Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display. Any problems must be
corrected before proceeding.
2. To start one or more of the four Cooking Zones lightly touch the key pad for the Cooking Zones needed. A beep
will sound and the chosen Cooking Zone power level Alpha-Numeric display will show “- -” indicating no power level
for the Zone has been set yet. NOTE: If no other key pad is touched within 10 seconds the request to Power ON the
Cooktop Zone will clear.
3. Set the desired power level for the Cooking Zone by touching either the or key pad. If the key pad
is touched the Cooking Zone will start at a “Power Boost” maximum power level (the Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric
display will indicate Pb and the control will beep once). If the key pad is touched once, the Cooking Zone will
start at low (the Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display will show “Lo” and the control will beep once).
NOTE: Touch once, or repeatedly touch the or key pads to adjust or scroll through power levels at any time
during the cooking process (To scroll through the power levels quickly touch and hold the or key pads until

Setting Cooktop Controls
Cooking zones will appear to be cool after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot
and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place aluminum foil or 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.
IMPORTANT OPERATING NOTES:
• Fluids spilled or objects lying on the controls area of the cooktop may cause the cooktop to display an error code and
turn OFF while cooking. Clean the spills or remove the objects from the cooktop.
• If the cookware or pan is moved from the center of any active Cooking Zone for any reason, a sensor will detect the
situation and the cookware will no longer heat. The affected Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display will flash the power
level set for the Cooking Zone. The Cooking Zone will remember the power level setting for up to 3 minutes before the
Cooking Zone will automatically shut OFF.
To Turn OFF the Cooking Zones:
1. Once cooking is complete, touch the key pad to turn the Cooking Zone OFF.
2. A beep will sound, the chosen Cooking Zone and its Alpha-Numeric display will turn off.
3. When any Cooking Zone is OFF, the corresponding Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display may show HE if the
Cooking Zone temperature is HOT. The Alpha-Numeric display will continue to display HE, and even if the Cooktop is
switched OFF the Alpha-Numeric display will continue to indicate HE as long as the cooking zone remains HOT. The
cooling fan will operate as long as the HE indicator is displayed.
ENGLISH
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. But the
glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
Preheat Recommendations
When preheating a pan on the cooktop always watch carefully. Whenever using the cooktop, always pay attention to any
items cooking and remain attentive until the cooking process is complete.
Keep in mind that induction may decrease the amount of time required to preheat a cooking utensil.
Recommended Settings for Induction Cooking Zones
Setting Type of Cooking
POWER BOOST (Pb) Use when first starting to heat pans that contain large amounts of food or to bring large pans
of water to boil.
HIGH (8.0 - Hi) Start most foods, bring water to a boil or pan broiling
MEDIUM HIGH (5.0 - 8.0) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry
MEDIUM (3.0 - 5.0) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies, steam vegetables
MEDIUM LOW (2.0 - 4.0) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew (2.8 or lower is a simmer setting).
LOW/SIMMER (Lo - 2.0) Keep warm, melt, simmer (2.8 or lower is a simmer setting).
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. The Simmer settings
are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are
ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.

Setting Cooktop Controls
Power Sharing
The range is equipped with four cooking
zones divided into two heating sections:
right and left. Each section has two
zones that share the power of one
induction inverter.
If you are cooking in both zones of
a heating section, the last zone that
began to heat will cook at the power
setting you selected. The other zone
might experience a slight decrease from
its power setting.
Power Sharing Tips: Remember to
select the power setting last for the
cooking zone you want to maintain at
full setting heat. To maintain full setting
heat for two items, place one item on a
zone in one section, and the other item
on a zone in another section.

Operational Noises
The electronic processes involved with Induction Cooking create some unusual background noises. These noises are
normal and part of the Induction Cooking process.
Please note that these noises are more noticeable while cooking at the Power BOOST level.

Before Setting Oven Controls
This range has a fan that will turn “ON” and “OFF” by itself to keep the electronics cool. It may
continue to run after the range has been turned “OFF”, but may also stop immediately and then turn “ON” after
a while.
Cooktop and Oven Vent Location
The cooktop and the oven are vented through its upper
front frame. When the cooktop of the oven is on, hot air
is released through the vents. This venting is necessary
for proper air circulation and good baking results.

ENGLISH
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4» (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and cookware do not
touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air
must circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
