iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
Storage inor on Appliance--Flare mable materials should
not be stored in an oven, near surface burners or in the
drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic and
cloth items, such ascookbooks, plasticware and towels, as
well asflammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such
as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable
materials may explode and result in fire or property
damage.
Do not leave children alone--Children should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR
THESE BURNERS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACESOF THE OVEN. Both surface
burners and oven heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other flammable materials touch these areas until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these
areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop,
the oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven door and window.
Wear proper apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires--Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam=type extinguisher.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to turn
off the main gas shutoff valve.
Use only dry potholders--Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do
not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a
potholder.
Do not heat unopened food containers--Build=up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
Remove the oven doors from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the ovens off. If the ovens are not turns off and the
power resumes, the oven may begin to operate again.
Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.
Use proper pan size--Adjust flame size so
it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The
use of undersize utensils will exposed a portion of the
burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will
also improve efficiency.
Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top
grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposure to carbon
monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This
can be hazardous to your health.
Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance
for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long
period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit. Always turn the knob to the LITE position when
igniting the burners. Visually check that burner
has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the utensil.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface burner. The use of undersized utensils
will expose a portion of the surface burner to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to the surface burner will also
improve efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners--To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
The handle of the utensil should be positioned so
that it isturned inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface burners.
Never leave surface burners unattended at high
heat settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled
dry may melt.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line
oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only
use aluminum foil 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 short circuit.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations for
rangetop use.
Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur
if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be
done to the cooktop or burners because the covers
may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the
burner and cause combustion problems.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktopilf 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.
Do not place hot cookware on cold cooktop glass.
This could cause glass to break.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Use care when opening oven dooriStand to the side
of the range when opening the door of a hot oven.
Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or
replace food in the oven.
Keep ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its own
vent located on the top, near each side and towards
the back of the cooktop. Touching the surfaces in this
area when the oven isoperating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near an oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks
in desired location while ovens are cool. If rack must
be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands
to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
heating elements in the ovens. Remove all utensils
from the rack before moving.
Do not use the broiler pan without its grid. The
broiler pan and its grid allow dripping fat to drain and
be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot light bulb with adamp cloth.
Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect
the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance
before removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are
flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer
to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be
aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed
in this Use and Care Guide. Before self cleaning the
oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or
foods from the oven.
Do not use oven cleaners--No commercial oven
cleaner or ovens liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Do not clean door gasket--The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if
left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-
cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another
well ventilated room.

Selecting Surface Cooking
Utensi Is For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils
that have these characteristics:
Pans should have flat bottoms. Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom. There should be no gap
between the pan and ruler.
Note: Always use a utensil for
its intended purpose. Follow
manufacturer's instructions. Some
utensils were not made to be used in
the oven or on the cooktop.
Do not use griddle over
more than one burner because it could
damage your cooktop. It can also
result in exposure to carbon monoxide
levels above allowable current
standards and be hazardous to your
health.

Surface Cooking
FEATURE OVERVIEW
• Flame Size
• Proper Burner Adjustment
• Placement of Burner
Bases and Caps
Flame Size
Formost cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to
a lower one to complete the process. Use the table below as a guide for
determining proper flame size for various types of cooking. The size and
type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence
the setting needed for cooking.
For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control
knob accordingly. If the fat istoo cool, the food will absorb the fat and be
greasy. If the fat istoo hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center
will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at
once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
*Flame Size
High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame Keep foods cooking; poach; stew.
*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with
lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increasesyour risk of being
burned by the flame.
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan
broiling.
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies;
steam.
Proper Burner Adjustments
The color of the flame isthe key to proper burner adjustment. A good
flame isclear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone
of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner
if flame isyellow-orange. To adjust the flame see the Installation
Instructions and to clean burner, see instructions under General Cleaning.
Placement of Burner Bases and Caps
Your Cooktop is equipped with three different
sizes of burners: Power Burner, Standard Burner
and Simmer Burner.
Place the burner base over each gas opening,
matching the burner base size with the gas
opening size. Place the burner cap on each
burner base, again matching the cap size to the
burner base size. The cap for each burner has
an inner locating ring which locates the burner
cap in the center of the burner.
Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned
and level.
Turn the burner on to determine if if will light.
If the burner does not light, contact a Sears
Service Center. Do not service the sealed burner
yourself.

ROASTING
GRID,
BROILER
When convection roasting, use the broiler pan and grid, and the roasting rack. The
broiler pan will catch grease spills and the grid will help prevent grease spatters. The
roasting rack will hold the meat.
1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to bottom rack position.
2. Place the grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the grid allowing the
heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase
browning on the underside. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the
grid in the broiler pan. DO NOT use broiler pan without the grid. DO NOT cover the
grid with aluminum foil.
3. For oven temperature and setting, refer to the Electronic Oven Control Guide.
The searing grill provided with your new range allows you to grill food in the oven.
Do not use the searing grill without the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan and its
insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from high heat of the broiler. Do
not use searing grill on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on the
cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.
Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn off the
oven. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO
NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
To Use the Searing Grill
1. Place the insert on the broiler pan. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert or
cover the insert with aluminium foil. The exposed fat could ignite.

Baking
For best results, preheat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries,
etc. There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles.
The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from
your previously owned appliance.
See Oven Control Guide for step-by-step baking instructions for right oven.

Air Circulation If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of oven.
in the Oven
For best air circulation and baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 2"-4"
(5-10cm) around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch
each other, the door, sides or back of oven. The hot air must circulate around the pans
in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.

Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (remove the broiler pan before
preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven
control(s) to BROIL as instructed in the Electronic Oven Control Guide. Wait for the
element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes. Preheating is not necessary
when broiling meats well-done.
To Broil
Broil on one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side.
Season and serve. Always pull rack out to the "stop" position before turning or
removing food.
Determining Broiling Times
Broiling times vary, so watch the food closely. Time not only depends on the
distance from the element, but on the thickness and age of meat, fat content and
doneness preferred. The first side usually requires a few minutes longer than the
second. Frozen meats also require additional time.

Broiling Tips
The broiler pan and itsgrid allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler.
DO NOT use the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover the grid with foil. The exposed
grease could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn off the oven.
If the fire continues, throw baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO
NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
Always pull oven rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.
Broiler Clean-Up Tips:
• To make cleaning easier, line bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil. DO
NOT cover the broiler grid with foil.
To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan from the oven as soon
as cooking is completed. Use hot pads because the broiler pan is extremely hot.
Pour off grease. Soak the pan in HOT, soapy water.
Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If necessary, use soap-
filled steel wool pads. Heavy scouring may scratch the grid.
