Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented through its upper front frame. When
the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven
and good baking results. Do not block oven vent.
Oven Vent
_]__ Some
models are equipped
with a blower which
runs in baking and
self-cleaning mode
to keep all internal
components at a cool
temperature. The
blower may keep run-
ning even if the oven
has been turned off:,
until the components
have cooled down.
Arranging Oven Racks
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely
cooled if possible. Oven racks may be HOT and cause burns.
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops.
Lift up front of rack and slide out.
Air Circulation in the Oven
If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple
racks, stagger cookware as shown.
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10
cm) around the cool<ware for proper air circulation and be
sure pans and cool<ware do not touch each other, the oven
door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must
circulate around the pans and cool<ware in the oven for even
heat to reach around the food.

Surface Cookware Recommendations
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 wiii work. If a magnet sticks to the
bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for
Induction cooking (Fig. 1).
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 wiil likely alter the
overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup
of scratches will make cleaning the surface difificult and
degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.
Use Quality Cookware in Good Condition
The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have
fiat 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. 2). Be sure to
follow aii the recommendations for using cookware.
Fig. 2
Also remember to:
* Use cookware made with the correct material type for
Induction Cooking (Fig. 2).
* 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.
* Do not let pans boll dry. 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.
induction Cooktop Features
A COOLER COOl(TOP - A unique feature of the Induction
Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF, the cooktop surface
remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops.
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.
MAGNETIC DETECTOR - The coil sensor automatically
detects if a pan is magnetic; if it is not, the Cooking Zone wiil
not activate.
PAN SIZE DETECTION - The pan detection sensor automatically
adapts the size of Cooking Zones to the pan sizes in use.
EFFICIENT - Induction cooking heats faster while using less
energy. Induction power boils more quickly and simmers
more evenly.
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.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOl(WARE 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.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the
recommended cooktop cleaning cream (on the web visit www.
sears.corn 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 cream leaves a protective
finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Power Sharing
In order to give you more flexibility, your induction cool<top
is equipped with more cooking zones than the number of
induction generators. Each of those generators is assigned to
power a specific cooking zone (Fig. 1). Two cooking zones are
assigned to each generator. To be able to give you access to
the highest power ratings, the generator will focus its power
onto only one cooking zone. If you usemore than one cooking
zone at high power on the same generator, the generator will
need to share its power to both cooking zones, thus lowering
the power level of one of the cooking zones.
When you are sharing power (cooking in both zones}, the
last zone set will cook at the power setting you selected. The
other zone will experience a slight decrease from its power
setting if both zones are set high enough.
To get the highest power output from your cooking zones,
cook with only one cookware per generator. If you need to
use most of your cooking zones at once, start your cooking
process on only one cooking zone within the generator heating
section and then add your second cookware on the second
cooking zone when the first one has already reached its cooking
temperature.
Remember to select the power setting last for the cooking
zone you want to maintain.
2 Induction Generators
Operational Noises
The electronics generating the induction fields are pretty
much noiseless but they do produce heat at high power
level. A soft-sounding cooling fan activates when the unit is
running multiple cooking zones at once or when a cooking
zone is set at very high power settings.
The buzzing sound you could hear from your cooktop is not
coming from the electronics but from the cookware you are
using. Here are some causes of this noise:
* Most induction-ready cookware are made of several
layers of materials. An encapsulated steel layer is usually
used to harness the induction field and transform it into
heah which is then transferred to the other materials by
radiant energy. The induction field will cause the steel
layer to vibrate against the other materials in which it
is encapsulated. This is the most common cause of noise
from the induction process. This buzzing only happens
at the higher power level settings. Note that high quality
cookware manufacturers weld this steel layer in place
which lowers or cancel this noise.
* Light weight cookware may also vibrate. We recommend
using heavy weight quality cookware.
* Cookware with warped bottoms can vibrate on the
ceramic glass surface at high power settings.
* _ The power output of your induction cooktop
is capable of warping an empty pan. Never use the
higher power settings on an empty pan. Even the highest
quality cookware is vulnerable to warping.
* Riveted handles on cookware can also cause buzzing
sounds from the vibrations.
* Solid cast iron and enamelware cookware should not emit
any noise. Top quality cookware made of several layers
should also be relatively quiet.

Convection Roast
Convection roast combines a cool< cycle with the convection
fan and element to rapidly roast meats and poultry. Heated
air circulates around the meat from all sides, sealing in
juices and flavors. Meats cooked with this feature are crispy
brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside. In
addition, there is no need to reduce the oven temperature
when using convection roast.
Convection roast may be set with the following options:

° No special pans or bakeware required.
For besf resulfs
° Preheating is not necessary for most meats and poultry.
° Be sure to carefully follow your recipe's temperature and
time recommendations or refer to the convection roast
chart for additional information.
Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent
the meat from browning properly.
Since Conv Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cool< time
by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe
(check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cool<
time until the desired doneness is obtained.

food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such
as milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the
refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in
the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and
should be removed promptly when finished cooking.

Meat Probe
When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry you can
use the probe to check the internal temperature without any
guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts,
testing the internal temperature is the most effective way of
insuring that your food has been properly cooked.
Your oven wiii automatically change from cooking to keep
warm once the probe has reached the set temperature.
The following temperature settings apply to the probe
function:
° Default: 170°F / 76°C
° Minimum: |30°F / 54°C
° Maximum: 210°F / 99°C
* Use only the probe supplied with your appliance; any other
may result in damage to the probe or the appliance.
° Be sure the probe is fully inserted into the probe
receptacle. The probe will not work properly until
correctly connected.
° Handle the probe carefully when inserting and removing
it from the food and the receptacle.
° Do not use tongs to puii the cable when inserting or
removing it from the food or the receptacle.
° Defrost your food completely before inserting the probe
to avoid damaging probe.
° Never leave or store the probe inside the oven when not
In use,
° To prevent the possibility of burns, carefully unplug the
probe using a pot holder.

Important note:
Changing how the oven reacts after reaching the target
temperature must be done before starting the cooking
process.
To Set Meat Probe:
1.
Prepare the food and properly insert the temperature
probe into the food. DO NOT preheat or start cooking
before properly inserting the meat probe. The probe
should be inserted into the food and receptacle while
the oven is still cool.
2. Place the prepared food on the desired oven rack
position and slide into the oven.
3. Plug the meat probe into the probe receptacle located
on the left front oven cavity top (See Fig. 3 for location
of probe receptacle).
Proper probe placement
° Always insert the probe so that the tip rests in the center
of the thickest part of the meat. Do not allow the probe
to touch bone, fat, gristle or the pan.
For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center
of the lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as
meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into the center of
the food. To find the center of the food visually measure
with the probe -Fig. 1-. When cooking fish, insert the
probe just above the gill.
° For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe into the
thickest part of the inner thigh, below the leg -Fig. 2-.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, "Rare fresh
beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to
only 140°F/60°C means some food poisoning organisms
may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen
Guide, USDA Rev. June 1958.)
The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is
145°F/63°C for medium rare fresh beef.

Slow Cook
Recipe Recall
The Slow Cook feature may be used to cook foods more
slowly at lower oven temperatures. Slow Cook provides
cooking results much the same way as a slow cooker or
Crock-Pot.
This feature is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow
cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats becoming
dark but not burnt; this is normal.
Slow Cook may be set with the following options:
° Cook Time
° Cook Time and/or Delay Start
For Slow Cook two settings are available, high (Hi) or low
(Lo). The high setting is best for cooking foods from a 4 to
5 hour time period. The low setting is best for cooking foods
from a 8 to 9 hour time period.
See the example below to set a slow cool<.
1. Press SLOW COOK to choose the Hi option -Fig. 1-.
2. Press SLOW COOK again to choose the Lo option
-Fig. 2-.

when checking foods. The more heat that is lost, the
longer the food will need to cool<.
* Cover the foods to keep them moist or use a loose or
vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
° Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur.
Cook times will vary depending on the weight, fat content,
bone & the shape of the roast.
° Preheating the oven will not be necessary.
° Use the recipe's recommended food temperature and a
food thermometer to determine when the food is done.
