important Safety instructions
Do not use the oven or Warmer Drawer
(if equipped) for storage.
• Storage in or on AppliancemFlammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, storage or warmer
drawer, or on or near any Cooking Zones. This
includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as
cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as weft as flammable
liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on
or near the range.
oWear Proper ApparelmLoose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
oDo 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 elements. 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=Do not attempt to operate the range

IMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
oKnow which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and
turn the unit 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.
, Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High
Heat Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating
Elements_Heating elements should never be immersed
in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal
operation.
Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn
the fan on.
Sears Parts & Repair is the recommend qualified technician
and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect
the electrical power to the appliance at the circuit breaker or
fuse box in case of an emergency.
FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP 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.
important Safety instructions
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOU R
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.
oKeep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is
located under the left rear surface element if your model is
equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located
below the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-
glass cook tops. 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.
, 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.
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.
o Kitchen cleaners and aerosolsmAIways follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be
aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may
ignite causing damage and injury.
, Clean Ventilating Hoods FrequentlymGrease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

induction Cooktop Features
Fast and Efficient - Induction cooking heats faster while using less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and
efficient when simmering.
A Cooler Cooktop- A unique feature of the Induction Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF, the cooktop surface remains
cooler than radiant ceramic style cooktops. Virtually no wasted heat is produced since the heat begins with the presence of
a pan.
Easy Clean-ups- The cooler cooktop surface (when compared to a radiant cooktop) makes clean-ups easier. Spills resist
sticking or burning so they wipe up easier.
Magnetic Detector - The coil sensor automatically detects whether the pan is magnetic and eliminates any accidental
"turn-ONs" • such as setting down cooking utensils like spatulas or spoons.
Pan Size Detection - The pan size recognition sensor automatically detects and adapts the Cooking Zones to the pan
sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking.
More Responsive= Induction cooktops are more responsive than their electric or gas counterparts because only the pan
heats. This type of cooking heats easier and will be just as responsive when reducing to a simmer.
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The
ceramic glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transfered from the cookware and burns may occur.

• Display Window Messages (ESEC)
• Hot Surface Indicator Lights
• Sabbath Day Message
Display Window Messages (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature provides a digital display of the settings for the induction cooking
zones on the cooktop. The ESEC displays in combination with the touch pads are designed to replace the conventional
control knob and power level tick mark indicators.
Please note: Unlike standard ceramic cooktops, induction cooktops do not heat
and will not glow read when active. Only the pan heats. Also, induction cooking
zones cannot be turned on without a properly placed pan made of magnetic material
such as steel or cast iron. This feature helps reduce accidental "turn-ons".
Cooking Zone ON/OFF Pad- Each of the four Cooking Zones have separate ON/
OFF key pads. Touch the corresponding Cooking Zone ON/OFF key pad once to
active the Cooking Zone needed. _- - " will appear in the LED display (Fig 1). If
the corresponding UP/DOWN Arrow key pad is not touched within 5 seconds, the
request to turn the Cooking Zone ON will cancel.
To set a Cooking Zone power level, touch the corresponding Cooking Zone UP or

2.6, 2.8, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, Hi and Pb (See Fig. 5).
The highest setting of Pb (Power Boost) provides the maximum power level for up
to 10 minutes (See Fig. 5). After 10 minutes, the cooking zone will automatically
lower to the Hi setting. The Power Boost setting is only available immediately after
activating a cooking zone and by pressing Q.
Hot Surface Indicator Message Lights
After using any of the cooking zone positions the glass surface may be hot from
residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur. After turning any of
these elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some time. A sensor monitors
the temperature for the 4 positions on the cooktop. The "Hot Surface" indicator (Fig.
6), located on the backguard, will glow whenever one of the cooking zones becomes
too HOT to touch. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON while hot and turn
OFF once the cooktop has cooled sufficiently (Fig. 7).
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after
they have been turned OFF. The induction cooking zones will not turn red when they
are on. The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transfered from the
cookware and burns may occur.

Before Using the Cooktop
CORRECT COOKWARE TYPE =The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below
the cooktop surface require the use of cookware made with magnetic material inorder
to start the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.
When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer
for use with Induction cooktops. Ifyou're not sure, use a magnet to test whether the
cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the material
type is correct for Induction cooking (See Fig. 1).
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface. This will
greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop surface
without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter the overall appear-
ance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the surface difficult and degrade the overall
appearance of the cooktop.
Minimum Pan Size Requirements for each Cooking Zone

Left Rear
Cooking
Zone
Left Front Right
Cooking Zone Front Cooking Zone
USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE - The 4 Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop require a MiNiMUM pan
size to be used at each location (Fig. 2). The inner ring of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the correct MINIMUM pan
size. The pan bottom must FULLY cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur.
Right Rear
Cooking Zone
Fig. 2
The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the pan MAXIMUM size. After centering the cookware of
the cooktop, make sure the cookware does not extend more than 1/2" beyond the thicker line on the Cooking Zone (See
example in Fig. 2). The pan must make FULL contact on the glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal
cooktop trims (shown in Fig. 2).
NOTE: Ifa pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO SMALL, the
affected Cooking Zone display will flash and the pan will not heat.
12
Before
Using the Cooktop
Use Quality Cookware in Good
Condition
The cookware used with the Induction
Cooktop should have flat bottoms that
make good contact with the entire surface
of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Fig. 1). Be sure to follow all
the recommendations for using cookware.
Also remember to:
• Use cookware made with the correct
material type for Induction Cooking. See
the "Correct Cookware Type" inthe
"Before Using the Cooktop" section.
Use quality cookware with heavier
bottoms for better heat distribution
allowing for more even cooking results.
The pan size should match the amount
of food being prepared.
• Do not let pans boil dry. This may
cause permanent damage in the form of
breakage, fusion, or marring that can af-
fect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of
damage is not covered by your warranty).
• Do not use dirty pans with grease
buildup. Always use pans that are easy
to clean after cooking.

settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups, The lower simmer settings
are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter,
Use when first starting to heat pans that contain large amounts of food or to bring large
pans of water to boil.
Start most foods, bring water to a boil or pan broiling
Continue a rapid boil, fry or deep fat fry
Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies or steam vegetables
Keep foods cooking, poach or stew.

Operating the Cooking Zones
The Induction cooktop has four Cooking Zones designed for cookware of various sizes. Be sure to
place cookware that meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements (See "Correct
Cookware Type" in the "Before Using the Cooktop" section) for the Cooking Zone desired and is
best for the amount of food being prepared. Place the cookware with the prepared food on the
Cooking Zone BEFORE setting any of the Cooktop controls.
To Turn ON one or more of the Cooking Zones:
1. Place the prepared food using the correct type and size cookware on the desired Cooking
Zone. Be sure to center the cookware on the Cooking Zone completely covering the minimum
ring marked on the Zone surface. PLEASE NOTE: If the cookware requirements for the Cooking
Zone (See "Correct Cookware Type" in the "Before Using the Cooktop" section) are not met, the
sensors will detect a problem and the display window will flash. Any problems must be
corrected before proceeding.
2. To start one or more of the four Cooking Zones lightly touch the O key pad for the Cooking
Zones needed. A beep will sound and the chosen Cooking Zone power level digital display will
show" - - ", indicating no power level for the Zone has been set yet. NOTE: If no other key pad
is touched within 5 seconds the request to Power ON the Cooktop Zone will clear.
3. Set the desired power level for the Cooking Zone by touching either the @ or Q key
pad. If the @ key pad is touched the Cooking Zone will start at a "Power Boost" maximum

power level (the Cooking Zone LED will display Pb and the control will beep once). Ifthe Q
key pad is touched once the Cooking Zone will start at Lo (the Cooking Zone LED will display
Lo and the control will beep once).
NOTE: Touch once, or repeatedly touch the _ or _ key pads to adjust or scroll
through power levels at any time during the cooking process (To scroll through the power levels
quickly touch and hold the @ or Q key pads until the power level desired is reached).
Once the Cooking Zone power level has been set the food will begin to heat at that level until
the power level is manually changed. For more information about the available Cooktop Zones
power levels available see "Recommended Induction Cooking Settings" in the "Setting the
Cooktop Control" section.
Cooking zones will appear to be cool after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot
and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place aluminum foil or 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.

Important Operating Notes:
* If the cookware or pan is moved from the center of any active Cooking Zone for any reason, a sensor will detect the
situation and the cookware will no longer heat. The affected Cooking Zone display window will flash. The Cooking
Zone will remember the power level setting for up to 3 minutes before the Cooking Zone will automatically shut OFF. If
the cookware isbrought back properly centered over the Cooking Zone again the zone will resume heating and will
remember the power level setting.
To Turn OFF the Cooking Zones:
1. Once cooking is complete, touch the _ key pad to turn the Cooking Zone OFF.
2. When any Cooking Zone is OFF, the Hot Surface indicator light will glow ifthe Cooking Zone temperature is too HOT.
The Hot Surface indicator will continue to glow as long as the cooktop remains HOT.
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The glass
surface may be HOT from residual heat transfered from the cookware and burns may occur.
Preheat Recommendations
When preheating a pan on the cooktop always watch very carefully. Whenever using the cooktop the user should always
pay attention to any pan and items cooking and remain attentive until the cooking process is complete.
Keep in mind that induction may decrease the amount of time required to preheat a cooking utensil.

Power Sharing
Your cooktop is equipped with four induction
elements within two heating sections. The
right-hand and left-hand Cooking Zones are
powered by two independent induction
inverters - one inverter for each of the two
heating sections. Two Cooking Zones in a
heating section share the power of one
inverter. This is called Power Sharing.
For example, if pans are cooking food items
on both right-hand Cooking Zones, the last
Power Level set will be maintained, while the
first pan may experience a slight reduction in
the power level setting.
POWER SHARING TIPS: Remember to set
the power level for the food item you wish to
maintain last. Or, you may choose to
maintain a constant power level for 2 food
items by placing the pans on one of the
Cooking Zones of the left=hand heating
section and the other pan on one of the
Cooking Zones of the right-hand heating
section (Fig 1).

Operational Noises
The electronic processes involved with Induction Cooking may create some unusual background noises. You could hear a
slight "buzz" sound when cooking. These noises are normal and are a part of the Induction Cooking process. Some
cookware will "buzz" louder depending on the material. The "buzz" sound may be more noticeable if the contents of the pan
are cold; as the pan heats up, the sound will decrease. If the power setting is reduced, the sound level will also decrease.
Please note that these noises are more noticeable while cooking at the "Pb" level. Very loud noises are not part of normal
Induction Cooking.
