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 NOTTOUCH SURFACEBURNERS,AREAS NEAR

THESE BURNERS,OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR

INTERIOR SURFACES OF 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.

Use proper pan size--Adjust flame size

so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

The useof 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 usestove top grills on the burner

grates of sealed gas burners. If you usea 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 LITEposition 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.

• 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

isto 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. This appliance isequipped with one

or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils

having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. The useof 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 burnersiTo 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

settingsiBoilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers

that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Protective linersiDo not usealuminum 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Glazed cooking utensilsiOnly 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 isaccidentally 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 cautionilf awet 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.

• Proper Burner

Adjustment

• Placement of Burner Basesand Caps

Flame Size

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete the process. Usethe 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. Fordeep 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 asthe food will neither brown nor cook properly.

RIGHT

WRONG

Make sure each burner cap isproperly aligned and

level.

Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If

the burner does not light, contact a SearsService

Center. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.

*Flame Size

High Flame Medium Flame

Low Flame

*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 increases your 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 Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

Proper Burner Adjustments

The color of the flame isthe key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, 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 isequipped with three different sizesof burners: Power Burner, Standard Burner

and Simmer Burner. Placethe burner base over each gas opening,

matching the burner basesize with the gas opening size. Place the burner cap on each burner base, again matching the cap size to the burner basesize. The cap for each burner has an inner locating ring which locates the burner cap in

the center of the burner.

Oven Vent(s) and Racks

Ovens Vents Locations

Eachoven has its own vent located on the top, near each side and towards the back of the

cooktop. When an oven is on, warm air is released through the vent; this ventilation is

necessaryfor proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.

Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THEOVEN ISCOOL (PRIORTO

OPERATINGTHEOVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.

To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up

front of rack and slide out.

To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

Air Circulation

in the Oven

If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of oven.

Forbest air circulation and baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch each other or the door, sides and back of oven. The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.

Main Oven

Broiling Informations

Broiling isa method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat from the broil element of

the oven. Meats are placed on the broiling rack and the rack is placed under the broiling element.

Seethe broiling instructions for main oven in the Setting Oven Controls section. See side oven step-by-step instructions in the Setting Side Oven Control section.

Preheating

Preheating issuggested when searing rare steaks (remove the broiler pan before preheating;

food will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROILas

instructed in the Setting Oven Controls section. 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 isbrowned; turn and cook on the other side; season and serve.

Always pull rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

Determining Broiling Times

Broiling times vary; 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 its grid 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. Usehot pads because the broiler pan isextremely 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.
