IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Storage in or on Appliance_Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, broiler
compartment, near surface burners or warmer zone. 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 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 OR WARMER ZONE,
AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface and oven burners
may he 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 cooktop,
surfaces facing the cooktop, 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
pothoiders 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 oven during a
power failure. The oven will not operate without electricity.
Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
• 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
_i_ 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 riskof 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 isturned 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
riskof electric shock, or fire.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass,glass,'
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktop servicewithout breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The Searing Grill
is not designed for useon the cooktop. Doing so may result
in a fire.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS
• DO Not Cook on 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 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 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 use the Searing Grill without the broiler pan and
insert provided with this range. 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.

USINGTHEWOKSTAND
TheWokStandprovidedwithyour range is designed to allow round-bottomed woks to
be used. It is recommended that you use a 14 inch diameter (35.5 cm) wok.
The Wok Stand must be used on either of the front burners, although it is recommended
that you use the standard burner for best performance.
If properly positioned, the Wok Stand cannot be slid off the grate.
To properly position the Wok Stand:
With the grate in position over the burner, set the Wok Stand on top of the grate. Turn
the Wok Stand, as shown, until the grate fingers fit into the slots on the bottom of the
stand. _|_ Be sure the grate stand is positioned correctly and stable before
use to prevent hot spills and possible burns.
The WOK STAND fits
over grate fingers
ii O
Flat-bottomed woks with flat bottoms may also be used on your cooktop without the
Wok Stand.

FEATURE OVERVIEW
Using the Wok Stand
[!lrlll_l_!_ Always use

Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond the
burner unit) may also be used without the Wok Stand. The metal ring was designed to
support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup making) or
fat (frying).
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner
unit. Because this ring traps heat, the surface unit and cooktop surface could be
damaged.

Flame Size
For most cooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to
complete the process. Use the chart 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.
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.
*Flame Size
High Flame
Medium Flame
Low Flame
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steam
Keep foods cooking; poach; stew
*These settings are based on using medium-weight aluminum pans with lids.
Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher flame simply
wastes heat and energy, and increases your risk of being burned by the flame.
Proper Burner Adjustments
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
sharply defined. Clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see instructions
under General Cleaning.
Placement of Burner Caps and Trim Rings
Your range isequipped with three different sized burners, two Power Burners,one
Standard Burnerand one Simmer Burner.
1. Placethe trim rings over each burner, matching the trim ring size with the burner
size.
2. Placethe burner cap on each burner, again matching the cap size to the burner size.
The caps for the Standard Burner and Power Burners have locating tabs that align
with slots in the burner base. The cap for the Simmer Burner has an inner locating
ring which locates the burner cap in the center of the burner.
4. Make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level.
5. Turn the burner on to determine if it will light. If the burner does not light, contact
an authorized servicer. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.

Setting Surface Controls
Your range may be equipped with any combination of the following burners:
Simmer Burner, this burner is best used for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
Standard Burner, can be used for most all surface cooking needs.
Large Burner, the larger burner is best used when bringing large quantities of liquid to
temperature and when preparing larger quantities of food.
Regardless of size, always select a utensil 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.
Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control knob is
turned to the LITE position.
_1_ 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 wood spoons could catch fire if placed too close to
a flame.
To operate the surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.

To Operate the Warmer (Warm & Ready") Zone
The purpose of the warmer zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
Use the warmer zone to keep cooked foods hot such as: vegetables, gravies, casseroles,
soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. It
is not recommended to heat cold food on the warmer zone.
All food placed on the warmer zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to
maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should
have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.
Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean.
Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on
the warmer zone.
_|!_L_I_ Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the
warmer zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

1, To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The temperatures are approximate,
and are designated by HI, MED and LO, However, the control can be set at any
position between HI and LO for different levels of heating.
2. When done, turn the control to OFF,The warmer zone hot surface indicator light
will remain on until the warmer zone cools to a moderate level.
Q
Temperature Selection
Refer to the chart for recommended heating levels. If a particular food is not listed, start
with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures by using the medium level.
Warmer Zone Indicator Lights
The warmer zone indicator light is located below the warmer zone control knob. It
turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the control is turned off. The
warmer zone hot surface indicator light, located on the control panel, will come on
when the control is set and will continue to glow until the glass warmer zone has cooled

Oven Cleaning
FEATURE OVERVIEW
• Preparing for the Self-
Clean Cycle
_AM FRAME
_1!1_ The health
of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes
given off during the self-
cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to
another well-ventilated
room.
Self-Cleaning Oven
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures which eliminate soilcompletely
or reduce it to a fine powdered ashyou can whisk away with a damp cloth. These
temperatures are well above normal cooking temperatures.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before precleaning.
Wear rubber gloveswhen precleaning and while wiping up the residue after the
self-clean cycle.
• 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 isessentialfor a 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
causedamage.
2. Remove the searing grill, broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
_111_1_1 DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the
range with aluminum foil. Doing sowill destroy heat distribution, produce poor
baking resultsand cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will
melt to the interior surface of the oven).
3. Oven racksmay be left in the oven or may be removed. If they go through the clean
cycletheir color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be dull. After the cycleis
complete and the oven hascooled, rub the sidesof the rackswith wax paper or a
cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks
glide easier into the rack position).
4. Remove any excessspinoversin the oven cavity before starting the self-cleaning
cycle. To clean, usehot, soapy water and a cloth. Largespillovers can causeheavy
smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures. DO NOT allow food spillswith a
high sugaror acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
filling) to remain on the surfaceas they may causea dull spot even after cleaning.
5. 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.
6. DO NOT manually clean the broil burner or useany cleaning agents on the broil
burner screen.
If at any time when setting the oven to cJean the

To Clean the Cooktop Glass
The cooktop isdesigned to make cleaning easier. Becausethe four burners are sealed,
cleanups are easy when spillovers are cleaned up immediately. To clean, wipe with a
clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your heat-resistant glass top.
Spills and spatters should be wiped up using a clean paper towel and sudsy water. This
should be done either as soon as possible after the spill occurs, after cooking is
completed, or at the latest, before using the cooktop again. Use caution if the cooktop
is hot. For heavy spills, spatter or burned-on materials, use a razor blade scraper. Hold
the razor blade scraper at a 30 ° angle and remove food spills or burned-on food residue.
Finish the cleaning process by applying a recommended heat-resistant glass cooktop
cleaning creme. Apply cleaner with clean, damp paper towel. Rinse with a paper towel
dampened with clean water and wipe dry. Always wipe the cooktop thoroughly to
avoid heating any cleaner residue.
DO NOT use the following on the heat-resistant glass cooktop:
Abrasive plastic, nylon, metal scouring or cloth pads. They may scratch the cooktop

FEATURE OVERVIEW
• Cooktop Cleaning
To Clean the Burner Grates, Contoured Burner Pans, Burner Cap
Assembly, and Burner Base
The burner grates, contoured burner pans, burner cap assembly, and burner base
should be routinely cleaned, Keeping the burner ports clean will prevent improper
ignition and an uneven flame. Follow instructions below,
To Clean the Contoured Burner Pans
The square burner pans are attached to the cooktop and are not removable. The burner
pan forms a recessed well area located around each burner unit. if a spill occurs in one
of the four well areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with a clean, damp
cloth and wipe dry.
To Clean the Grates
The burner grates and wok stand are dishwasher safe. Any remaining soil may be
removed by gently scouring with a soapy scouring pad. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of
clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked
paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, then scrub
with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all
cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use
spray oven cleaners.
TO Clean the Burner Cap and Trim Ring
Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive cleanser to clean burner caps and trim
rings. If necessary, cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30
minutes. Rub gently with a soap-filled scouring pad and rinse with a mixture of clean
water and vinegar. Wipe dry. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged
during future heating.
TO Clean the Burner Base and Gas Opening
The ports (or slots) around the burner base must be routinely cleaned. Use a small-gauge
wire or needle to clean small slots or holes. Use care to prevent damage to the electrode.
If a cleaning cloth should catch the electrode, it could break or damage the electrode. If
the electrode is damaged or broken, the surface burner will not light because it will not
spark. Manual lighting with a match isstill possible.
For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner--DO NOT ALLOW SPILLS, FOOD,
CLEANING AGENTS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL TO ENTER THE GAS OPENING. Gas must
flow freely through the small hole in the brass orifice for the burners to light properly, if
the gas opening orifice becomes soiled or clogged, use a small-gauge wire or needle to
clean. ALWAYS keep the burner cap assembly and ring in place whenever a surface
burner is in use.
After cleaning make sure each burner cap is properly aligned and level. Turn the burner
on to determine if it will light. If the burner does not light after cleaning, contact a Sears
Service Center. Do not service the sealed burner yourself.

How to Clean
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and
built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30
to 60 minutes. Rinse with a clamp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on
any of these materials; they can scratch.
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 as instructed above.
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. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of
both the knob and the shaft, then push the knob(s) into place.
Clean, broiler pan and insert in the dishwasher and dry upon removal. If soils are not
removed, follow the cleaning instructions below.
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1
solution of clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an
ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a
damp cloth, then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a
clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during
future heating. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the range top.
Clean with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth.
Cover stubborn spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30-40 minutes.
Rinse. Cleaners made especially for stainless steel are recommended. Be sure to
rinse the cleaners as bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot be removed.
Remove racks. See "Removing and Replacing Oven Racks" under Before Setting
Oven Controls. Use a mild, abrasive cleaner, following manufacturer's instructions.
Rinse with clean water and dry. After cleaning the racks, rub the sides of the racks
with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of baby oil or salad oil (this
will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT immerse
the door in water.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the
gasket.
