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 bums, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due
to unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of the
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned 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.

• 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 cooktop—If 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.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door or warmer drawer (if

equipped)—Stand 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/ warmer drawer.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is

located at the rear of the cooktop. Touching the surfaces in
this area when the oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on
or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

 WARNING

in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the

oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

• Placement of oven/warmer drawer {if equipped) racks.

Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/
warmer drawer (if equipped) is 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
elementsin the oven/warmerdrawer(if equipped).
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The

broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.

Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp 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.

I NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages

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 forcleaning.

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 oven 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.

Locations of the Gas Surface Burners

The SIMMER burner is best used tor simmering
delicate sauces, etc. This burner is located at the right

rear burner position on the cooktop.

The STANDARD sized burners are used for most
surface cooking needs. These burners are located at
the left rear and center positions on the cooktop.

The POWER burners are best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when
preparing larger quantities of food. These burners are
located at the right front and left front positions on the
cooktop.

Setting Surface Controls

ik CAUTION

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 wood spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to a flame.

In the event of an electrical power outage,
the surface burners can be lit manually.
To light a surface burner, hold a lit match
to the burner head, then slowly turn the
surface control knob to LITE. After burner
lights push in and turn knob to desired
setting. Use caution when lighting surface
burners manually.

I

Do not place plastic

Operating the Gas Surface Controls:

1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.

2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of
the OFF position (See Figure 1).

3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position. Note: All four
electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only
the burner you are turning on will ignite.

4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.

5. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired flame size.
The control knobs do not have to be set at a particular setting. Use the
knob indicator settings to adjust the flame as needed. DO NOT cook
with the surface control knob in the LITE position. (The electronic
ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position.)

Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size

For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a
lower one to complete the process. Use the recommendations 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.

OFF LITE HI 6 5 4 3 2 LO

Figure 1

*F!ame Size

High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame

*These settings are based on using medium-weight metal or
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types
of pans. The color of the flame is the 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 sharp. Clean burner if flame is yellow­orange.
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is suitable for the amount
and type of food being prepared. Select a burner and flame size
appropriate to the pan. Never allow flames to extend beyond the outer
edge of the pan.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame wastes heat and energy and increases your risk of being burned
by the flame (Figure 2).

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control
knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be
greasy. If the fat is too 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.

Type of Cooking

Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Keep foods cooking: poach: stewing.

Surface Cooking

Use Proper Cookware

Cookware should
have flat bottoms that
make good contact
with the entire surface
heating element.
Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the
cookware (See Figure

1). Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using cookware
as shown in Figure 2.

Note: The size and type of cookware used
will influence the setting needed for best
cooking results.

Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Some utensils were not made to be used in
the oven oron the cooktop.

CORRECT INCORRECT

» Curved and warped pan bottoms.

__

/ t Ilf ^ ^ \

• Flat bottom and straight
sides.

• Tight fitting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt
pan. Pan is well balanced.

• Pan sizes match the amount
of food to be prepared.

• Made of material that
conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be
used but mustconform to the above recommended cookware requirements.

Pan overhangs burnergrate by more
than 2.5 cm (1”).

Heavy handle tilts pan.

Using a wok

Woks with flat bottoms suitable for use on
your cooktop are available in most
cookshop or hardware stores. Round­bottomed woks (with a support ring that
does not extend beyond the burner
circumference) may also be used. The metal

ring was designed to support the wok safely
when it is filled with large amounts of liquids
(soup making) or fat (frying).

Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets.
Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact
with the grates.

DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a
metal ring that extends beyond the
burner circumference. Because this ring
traps heat, the surface unit and cooktop
surface could be damaged.

Care & Seasoning of the Griddle

Before first use:

• Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.

• Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).

• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.

• Bake griddle for 1 hourat350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.

• The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from the seasoning process. If desired,
wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.

After each use:

•To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.

• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.

• DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.

• Dry immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before storing.

Figure 4

Using the Griddle:

• Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side gas burners.

• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat

Oven Baking Information

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. Referto “Adjusting the Oven Temperature” section.

Setting Oven Controls (cont’d)

Setting the Slow Cook Feature

The SLOW COOK pad is used to activate this feature. The Slow Cook feature may be used to cook foods more
slowly, at lower oven temperatures and provides cooking results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot. The

Slow Cook 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.

There are 2 settings 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. The maximum cook time for the Slow
Cook feature is 12 hours unless the oven control has been changed to the Continuous Bake mode. This feature may be
used with the additional settings of a Timed Bake ora Delayed Start (Delayed Timed Bake).

Some tips you should review for best possible results using Slow Cook feature:

Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the Slow Cook.

When using a single rack, place in position 2 or 3 (from bottom).

Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking utensils when cooking multiple food items.
Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the
Slow Cook time may need to be extended.
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.
Use the recipe’s recommended food temperature and a food thermometer to determine when the food is done.
Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.

Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of cooking.

your recipe times may not give you the results you expect. If you think that the oven is cooking too hot or cool for your
recipe times, you can adjust the thermostat so that the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the temperature displayed.

To Adjust Oven Temperature:

1.

Press and hold (Bak^ for 8 seconds. The display now indicates the amount of degrees offset between the original
factory temperature setting and the current temperature setting. If the oven control has the original factory calibration,

the display will read "0".

2.

The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F or 19°C, in 1 “F or 1 “C steps by pushing and holding y\ or
’V"' Adjust until the desired amount of degrees offset appears in the display. When lowering the oven temperature, a

minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of

degrees.

3.

When you have made the desired adjustment, wait 5 seconds and the display will go back to the time of day.

Note: Oven temperature adjustment made will not change the Self-Cleaning or Broil feature temperature.

Self-Cleaning Oven

A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking
temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any

part of the Self-Cleaning oven.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door

gasket is essential fora good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket.

• DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so

could cause damage.

• Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum

foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

• Porcelain oven racks do not have to be removed. After the cycle is
complete and the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with
wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil (this will make
the racks glide easier into the rack position).

• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the

Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.

NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed.

What to Expect during Cleaning

While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher
than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and contraction
are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed. Smoke may
appear through the oven vent.

If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and cause
more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should not
cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning cycle.

Seif-Cleaning

Se!f-C!ean Cycle time length

For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for

average, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy soils. NOTE: The kitchen area should be well

ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood during the Self-Clean cycle.
This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the Self-Clean cycle.

How to Clean

Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control

knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy
water and a dishcloth. Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze
excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around
the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the
appliance. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating
and cannot de removed. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of
both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of
vinegar and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a
soft cloth. Glass cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. DO NOT spray
liquids directly on the control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of water
on the control panel - excess water on the control area may cause damage to the
appliance. Do not use other liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or
paper towels - they will damage the finish. To remove control knobs, turn to the OFF
position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning,
line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Clean with hot, soapy water and dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and cloth. Do not
use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use
harsh scrubbing cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for
cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the cleaners off from the surface as
bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be removed.

To Clean the Ceramic Glass Cooktop- See Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning &

Maintenance later in this section.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface
(on the web visit www.sears.com for replacement cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). 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.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These
marks should be removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can
become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide

anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen.
Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop,

because they may cause it to crack.

General Care & Cleaning (confd)

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

ik CAUTION

ik WARNING I DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic
type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no
residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic
type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other
purpose.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper,
holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils

.

. with cooktop cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if
you use an abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that
have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktop.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto
the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the
cooktop surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the
surface elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a
mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the
cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:

ASBASIVE

ClfANERS

r

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal
and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it
more difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or
oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave
soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause
discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

• Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any

circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils

Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other
metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used.

Pans that boil dry may permanently damage cooktop by breaking,

fusing to, or marking it.

Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (Stainless steel models only)

Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining the
