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.

DONOTTOUCHSURFACEBURNERS,AREASNEARTHESE BURNERS,OVENBURNERSORINTERIORSURFACESOFTHE 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.

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.

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.

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.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on oven rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 on page 10). For best results when using a single oven rack, place cookware on oven rack position 4 (See Fig. 2 on page 9 and Fig. 2 on page page 10).

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and 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. The hot air must be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Double Ring Burner:

The versatile Double burner offers a complete range of gas surface settings from the same burner location. At the lowest setting, only the inner ring is active, providing a low flame for any simmering needs. If needed however, one additional gas ring may be added quickly to provide a total output of 18,000 BTU. When set at the highest, the double burner may be used to bring a large pan of liquid to boil quickly.

Operating the Double Ring Burner:

1.Push right front surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position -Fig. 1.

2.Release the knob and rotate to the lite position. Note: Although all electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time, only the selected surface burner will lite.

3.Visually check that both the inner and outer rings are lit -Fig. 4.

When both burners are lit, continue to turn the control knob counterclockwise to adjust to the desired flame size.

4.If only the inner burner is needed, continue to rotate the knob counterclockwise somewhere past grey area -Fig. 3.

5.Adjust the inner flame to desired size -Fig. 5.

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

Arranging Warmer (Warm & Ready™) Drawer Rack Positions

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.

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.

Warmer Drawer Food

Temperature Settings

Use the recommended Warmer Drawer food temperature settings table (See Fig. 6). If a particular food is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food.

Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the HI setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open the Warmer Drawer repeatedly while in use.

Preparing Bread Dough for the Warmer Drawer

Preparing Bread Dough for the Warmer Drawer

The Warmer Drawer has a “Proof Bread” feature that can be used to help prepare bread dough. The recommended length of time to keep the bread dough in the Warmer Drawer is about 45-60 minutes. Be sure however to follow the recipe’s recommended times.

The prepared bread dough should be placed in a large bowl because the dough will nearly double in volume. Arrange the Warmer Drawer Rack in the downward position (See Fig. 1). Place the bowl on the rack in the Warmer Drawer and follow the Warmer Drawer and Bread Proof Control setting instructions at the top of this page.
