IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Protective Liners — DO NOT USE
ALUMINUM FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
• Use care when opening oven door, warmer drawer or
lower oven door — 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.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is
located below the backguard. 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.
• Placement of interior oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven 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
elements in the oven. 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.
j

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Place a pan of food on the surface element unit before
turning it on, and turn the element off before removing
the pan.
• Use proper pan size — This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve
efficiency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend
over adjacent surface elements — 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 is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

oven rack
The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (on some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (on some models) will place the base
of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than a flat
oven rack. This feature provides several additional possible
oven rack positions.
Air circulation in the oven
For best 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. Flot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.
To remove - pull the rack
forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out.
To replace - fit oven rack
onto the rack guides on both
sides of oven walls. Tilt the
front of oven rack upward
and slide the rack back into
place. Be sure oven racks an.
level before using. p.^ 2

Before Setting Surface Controls
About the surface elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element will glow red.
For efficient cooking, turn OFF the surface element just
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
Surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The surface
element may still be hot and burns may occur if the
surface element is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place 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.
ik CAUTION
unit drip bowls, or reflector pans. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
Do not place aluminum foil or ANY material that could
melt on the surface elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
Using proper cookware
The size and type of
cookware used will
influence the surface
element power level
setting needed for best
cooking results. Be sure to
follow the
recommendations for
using proper cookware as
illustrated in both Figs. 1
& 2.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of
the cookware (See Fig. 1). Cookware should have flat
bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface
heating element (See Fig. 2).

Before Setting Surface Controls
Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom. The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware
resists staining & pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat
very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material.
Glass - SI ow heat conductor.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning
using a ceramic cooktop.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is
recommended to use smaller diameter canners on
electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This
will cause uneven heating results and may cause the
ceramic cooktop to fracture.

Setting Oven Controls
Adjusting Oven Temperature
Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to
ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first few
uses, follow your recipe times and temperature
recommendations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking
too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust
the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven
temperature displayed.
The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F
(+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory
calibrated settings.
To adjust oven temperature:
1. Press Bake key pad.
2. Set the oven temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pressing
and holding the /\ key pad. Release when 550°F
appears in display (287°C if control is set for Celsius
display mode).
3. Within 2 seconds, press and hold Bake key pad until
numeric digit(s) appear. Release Bake keypad. The
display now indicates the amount of degrees offset from
the original factory temperature setting and the current
temperature setting. If the control still has the original
factory calibration, the display will read 0.
Important notes:
• Oven temperature adjustments made will not change the
Broil or Select Clean operating temperatures.
• DO NOT USE oven thermometers such as those found in
grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside
your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much
as 20 to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.
• The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your
oven control has been set to display °C (Celsius)
temperatures. Minimum and maximum settings for
Celsius is plus (+) or minus (-) 19°C.
• If the display mode is set for Celsius, adjustments made
will be in 1°C increments each press of the /\ or \/
key pads.
4. The temperature may be adjusted up or down 35°F
(19°C), in 5°F increments by pressing and holding the
/\ or \/ key pads. Adjust until the desired amount
of temperature offset appears in the display and release
key pad.
5. Press STOP to accept and return to normal operation.

Before You Cali ® Solutions to common problems
Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time & expense. Possible solutions to these problems
are provided with the problem listed:
Problem Solution
Poor baking results. Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position
is used. Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate.
Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the
oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time.
If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see Adjusting oven temperature in
Setting Oven Controls section.
Appliance is not level.
Cannot move appliance easily.
Appliance must be accessible for
service.
Entire appliance does not operate.
Oven portion of appliance does not
operate.
Be sure floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range.
If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the
oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure
cabinets are square & have sufficient room for appliance clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to
make appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufficient space so appliance can
be lifted over carpet.
Make sure power cord is plugged properly into outlet.
Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local
electric company for service outage information.
Service wiring is not complete. Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® for assistance (See

with high salt content.
Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface element and touches
cooktop surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the
drip bowls. DO NOT use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched
to the size of the element. Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from
your appliance dealer.

Acuerdos maestros de protección
Enhorabuena por haber hecho una compra inteligente. Su nuevo
producto Kenmore® está diseñado y fabricado para brindarle años de
funcionamiento fiable. Pero, como cualquier producto, puede necesitar
mantenimiento preventivo o reparaciones periódicas. Es por eso que
tener un Acuerdo maestro de protección podría ahorrarle dinero y
molestias.
El Acuerdo maestro de protección también sirve para prolongar la
durabilidad de su nuevo producto. El acuerdo* incluye lo siguiente:
0 Piezas y mano de obra necesarias para contribuir a mantener el
funcionamiento adecuado de los productos utilizados en
condiciones normales de uso, no sólo en caso de defectos de los
productos. Nuestra cobertura va mucho más allá que la garantía
del producto. No se aplican deducibles ni exclusiones por fallas del
funcionamiento: es decir, verdadera protección.
0 Servicio técnico por expertos (más de 10000 técnicos
autorizados de Sears), lo cual significa que quien repare o realice
el mantenimiento de su producto será un profesional de confianza.
0 Servicio técnico a escala nacional y número ilimitado de
llamadas de solicitud de servicio técnico: se puede poner en
contacto con nosotros cuantas veces lo desee y cuando lo desee.
0 Garantía “sin sorpresas”: se reemplaza el producto cubierto por el
acuerdo si ocurren cuatro o más fallas del producto en un periodo
de 12 meses.
0 Reemplazo del producto: en caso de que no se pueda reparar el
producto cubierto por el acuerdo.
0 Revisión anual preventiva de mantenimiento del producto:
puede solicitarla en cualquier momento, sin costo alguno.
0 Rápida asistencia telefónica, la cual denominamos Solución
rápida: es decir, asistencia telefónica a través de cualquiera de
nuestros representantes de Sears, sobre cualquiera de nuestros
productos. Piense en nosotros como en un “manual parlante del
usuario”.
0 Protección contra fallas eléctricas, contra daños debidos a
fluctuaciones de la corriente eléctrica.
0 $250 al año para cubrir cualquier posible deterioro de
alimentos que haya tenido que desechar debido a una falla
mecánica de cualquiera de nuestros refrigeradores o congeladores
cubiertos por este acuerdo.
0 Devolución de gastos de alquiler de electrodomésticos si la
reparación de su producto asegurado toma más que el tiempo
prometido.
0 10% de descuento aplicable tanto a los costos del servicio de
reparación, como de las piezas instaladas relacionadas que no
hayan quedado cubiertos por este acuerdo.
Una vez que haya realizado el pago de este acuerdo, bastará una simple
llamada telefónica para concertar una visita de servicio. Puede llamar a
cualquier hora del día o de la noche, o bien concertar una visita de
servicio por Internet.
La adquisición del Acuerdo maestro de protección es una inversión
exenta de riesgos. Si por cualquier motivo decide cancelar dicho acuerdo
durante el periodo de garantía del producto, le haremos un reintegro total
del valor. O bien un importe proporcional si cancela el acuerdo en
cualquier otro momento posterior al vencimiento del periodo de garantía
del producto. ¡Adquiera hoy mismo su Acuerdo maestro de protección!
Algunas limitaciones y exclusiones podrían aplicarse. Para solicitar
precios e información adicional, llame al 1-800-827-6655 (en los
