ENGLISH
• Remove all tape and packaging before using the range.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the range.
Never allow children to play with packaging material.
• Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.latest edition, or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1, and CAN/CGA
B149.2, and the the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
No.70-latest edition, or in Canada CSA Standard C22.1,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local code
requirements. Install only per installation instructions
provided in the literature package for this range.
Ask your Sears dealer to recommend a qualified technician
and an authorized Sears repair service. Know how to
disconnect the power to the range at the circuit breaker or
fuse box in case of an emergency.
• User servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals.
All other servicing should be done only by a qualified
technician, This may reduce the risk of personal injury and
damage to the range.
• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by
removing leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip
brackets/screws, or any other part of the product.
• Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate
by blowing a downward air flow on to a range, shall not be
used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the
hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by an
independent test laboratory for use in combination with
each other.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or
drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and also
cause damage to the range. Do not allow children to climb or
play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door
may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other
injury.
NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages 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.
Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if
equipped) for storage.
• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface
burners or in the storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic
and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels,
as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as
aerosol cans, on or near the range.
Do not store items of interest to children in
the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range.
Children climbing on the range to reach items could be
seriously injured.
3
Important Safety Instructions
• 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 BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE
OVEN. Both surface and oven burners may be hot even though
flames are not visible. 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 cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, 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.
• Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholders touch hot heating burners. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be
stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT—ELECTRIC IGNITION MODELS ONLY: Do not
attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power
fails, always turn off the oven. If the oven is not turned off and
the power resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Once
the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or fire.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to sudden
change in temperatures. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer—
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 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.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance
has not been used for an extended period of time, be certain
the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at
least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so
it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils will expose 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.
• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a
pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the
burner off before removing the pan.
•Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top
burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
• 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 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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area
underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to
accumulate. Refer to the range 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
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this
Use & 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.
4
Important Safety Instructions
FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS (some models)
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top—If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top
and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cook Top 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 noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Grounding Instructions
(electric ignition models only)
Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an adapter plug,
an extension cord, or remove grounding prong from electrical power cord.
Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.
This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for
your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from
this plug.
For personal safety, the range must be properly grounded. For maximum safety,
the power cord must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is correctly polarized
and properly grounded.
If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the personal
responsibility of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
ENGLISH
See the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS packaged with this range for complete
installation and grounding instructions.
Important Safety Notice
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.

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 hour at 350°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.
Using the Griddle:
• Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side gas burners or over the
Bridge Burner (some models). For location refer to Fig. 1.
• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow
preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.
• DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle
and prevent even heat distribution.

The rack can be used in two ways:
• In the upward position (Fig. 2) to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for
example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath).
• In the downward position (Fig. 3) to allow you to place light weight food items and empty dishware (for example, rolls
or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.
Always use
potholders or oven mitts
when removing food from
the Warmer Drawer as
cookware and plates will
be hot and you can be
burned.
Fig. 2 Fig. 3
Using the Warmer Drawer
The purpose of the Warmer Drawer is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not
recommended to heat cold food in the Warmer Drawer. All food placed in the Warmer Drawer should be covered with a lid
or aluminum foil to maintain quality.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only
utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the Warmer Drawer.
Note: The Warmer Drawer will not operate during the Self-Clean cycle.
