Before setting oven controls
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel
(
Figure 2). When the oven is on, warm air passes through this
vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the
oven and good baking results. Steam or moisture may appear
near the oven vent, this is normal. Do not block oven vent
.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior and oven
racks will become very hot which can cause burns.
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. Do not line the oven walls, racks,
bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil. Doing
so will alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results, and
may cause permanent damage to the oven interior. During self
clean temperatures, the oven will be hot enough to melt foil.
Removing, arranging and replacing racks:
Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the oven is
cool (prior to operating the oven.
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 are level before using.
Type of oven racks
The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (on some models) is designed to place the
base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than flat
oven racks. This design allows several additional positions
between the flat rack positions.
To maximize oven cooking space place the
bottom oven rack
(on some models) in the lowest rack position for roasting large
cuts of meat.
This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which
can remain in the oven during the self-clean cycle. Do not clean
the vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important that
the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of
vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a
thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every
self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
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. Hot air must be able to circulate around the
cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

until the oven reaches set temperature.
The oven is factory set to run no longer than 12 hours. If you wish
to cook continuously, see “Setting Continuous Bake setting or 12
Hour Energy Saving” on
page 10.
Baking Tips:
• Preheat your oven before using the bake mode.
• During preheat, the three elements and the convection fan
are used in cycle to quickly heat the oven.
• Use only one rack and center the pans as much as possible
on rack 2 or 3.
• If using two racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 4.
• Allow 2” to 4” (5,1 to 10,2cm) around the bakeware for
proper air circulation.
• Be sure the pans do not touch each other, the door, sides or
back of the oven.
• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature and may increase cook time.

Setting Broil
The
Broil key controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat
radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage.
The Broil temperature may be set between 400°F and 550°F.
(Table 2)
The broil pan and broil pan insert used together allow dripping
grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the
oven broiler (
Figure 6). Do not use the broil pan without the
insert. Do not cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed
grease could catch fire. To purchase them, call Sears at 1-800-
4-MY-HOME (1-800-469-4663) and order broiler pan kit
5304442087.
The broil burner may appear to have cooled
after it has been turned off. The burners may still be hot and
burns may occur if these burners are touched before they have
cooled sufficiently.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns..
Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door
closed and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, throw baking
soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or
flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury
To set the oven to broil at 550°F.
1. Arrange the interior oven rack.
2. Press Broil. If a lower broil temperature is desired (minimum
broil temperature setting is 400°F), press the desired
temperature before continuing. Close the oven door.
3. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes.
4. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place
the food on the broiler pan insert. Be sure to center the
broiler pan directly under the broiler element...
Important: When broiling foods, keep the oven door closed.
Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke. If
smoke is excessive, place food further away from the broil
element. Always watch food carefully to prevent burning

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C)
means some food poisoning organisms may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA). The lowest temperature
recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC).

Oven Controls
Setting Convection Bake
The
Convect Bake key controls the Convection Bake feature. Use
the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The
oven can be programmed for Convection baking at any temper-
ature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly
and continuously within the oven (
Figure 7). This improved heat
distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It
also gives better baking results when using 2 or 3 racks at the
same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. Convection
bake cooks most foods faster and more evenly than conven-
tional baking.
Convection Baking Guidelines
1. When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal
cooking times. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as
needed. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount
and type of food to be cooked. Cookies and biscuits should
be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow
heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on
pans with a dark finish will cook faster.Preheating is not
necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.
2. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven
rack in position 2 or 3. (
Figure 8)If cooking on multiple
racks, place the oven racks in positions 1 and 3.
3. Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature and may increase cook time.
.
To set the oven for Convection Bake and temperature to 350°F
1. Arrange interior oven racks and place food in oven.
2. Press Convect Bake
3. Press . The actual oven temperature will be displayed.
Note: The oven icon will appear and the rotating fan will
start running in the display. The bake, broil and convection
element icons will show intermittently in the display indi-
cating which element is on to help the oven reach the
desired temperature.
4. A beep will sound once the oven temperature reaches
350°F.
Note: The convection fan will start as soon as the oven is set for
Convection Bake.

Setting Convection Roast
The
Conv Roast key may be used when cooking certain food
items. Conv Roast combines a cook cycle with the convection
fan and element to roast meats and poultry. Preheating is not
necessary for meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around
the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Foods are
crisp brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside. Do
not cover food during convection roast.
Example - To Set the Convection Roast feature at 375°F
1. Arrange oven racks.
2. Press Conv Roast.
3. Enter the desired roasting temperature using the numeric

Roasting Rack Instructions (if equipped)
When preparing meats for convection roasting, use broiler pan
and insert along with the roasting rack. The broiler pan will
catch grease spills and the insert will prevent grease splatters.
The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the
meat.
1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom rack
position. Hot air circulates under the food for even cooking
increases browning on the underside. Make sure the
roasting rack is securely seated on the insert in the broiler
pan. Do not use the broiler pan without the insert. Do not
cover the insert with aluminum foil.
2. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.
3. Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.
To prevent food from contacting the broil
element and to prevent grease splattering, Do not use the
roasting rack when broiling.
Setting Convection Convert feature
Pressing the Conv Convert key automatically converts the
cooking temperature entered for any standard baking recipe to
the lower temperature required for convection baking.
Convection Convert MUST be used with the Convection Bake
key. Cook Time or Delay Start function may be added.
Using Convection Convert (Bake) feature to automatically adjust
oven temperature (example: setting oven for 350°F):
1. Arrange interior oven racks and place food in oven.
2. Press
3. If a Cook Time or Delay Start is desired enter times now.
4. Press . Conv Bake and the oven temperature adjust-
ment will appear briefly in the display as shown in the

Setting the Slow Cook feature
Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result
in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as
milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refriger-
ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven
for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be
removed promptly when finished cooking.
The
Slow Cook key is used to activate this feature. The Slow
Cook feature may be used to cook foods more slowly, at lower
oven temperatures and provides cooking results much the same
way as a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot. The Slow Cook feature is
ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow Cooking meats may
result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but not burnt. This
is normal.
There are 2 settings available, high (Hi) or low (Lo). The low
setting is best for cooking foods from 8 to 9 hour time period.
The high setting is best for cooking foods from 4 to 5 hour time
period. The maximum cook time for the Slow Cook feature is 12
hours unless the oven control has been changed to the Contin-
uous Bake mode. This feature may be used with the additional
settings of a Cook Time or a Delayed Start.
Cooking and Preparation tips for Slow Cook
• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the
Slow Cook feature.
• When using a single rack, place in position 2 or 3.
• Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking
utensils when cooking multiple food items.
• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open
when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the
Slow Cook time may need to extended.
• Cover the foods to keep them moist or use a loose or vented
type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
• Cook times will vary; depending on the weight, fat content,
bone & the shape of the food.
• Use the recipe’s recommended food temperature and a
food thermometer to determine when the food is done.
• Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the
Slow Cook feature.
• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of
cooking.

Self-Cleaning Operation
During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of
the range can become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any
other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will
destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the interior (aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven).
Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the
door after the self-cleaning cycle is completed. The oven may
still be very hot.
Note: See additional cleaning information for the oven door in
General Care & Cleaning on page 23.

Oven Controls
Self-Cleaning Oven
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well
above cooking temperatures) which eliminate soils completely
or reduces them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away
with a damp cloth.
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the
oven manually.
• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or
around any part of the oven interior.
• 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.
• Do not use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket.
Doing so could cause damage.
• Remove all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items
cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
• Porcelain Coated Racks: Some ovens come with lubricated
porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during
the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrica-
tion off the racks. It is important that the sides of the oven
racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To
maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of
vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self-clean
cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
• Chrome Oven Racks: Some models come with chrome oven
racks, which have to be removed from the oven during the
self-clean cycle or else their finish will turn dull and their
color slightly blue. If left in, after the cycle is complete and
the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with
wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil
(this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).
Clean chrome oven racks by using a mild cleaner following
manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
• Before starting the self-cleaning cycle, hand 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.
These surfaces are not in the self-cleaning area. Clean with
soap and water. Burned-on residue can be cleaned off with
a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber.
• Remove any excess soil and debris from oven bottom
before starting self-clean. Large spillovers can cause heavy
smoke or fire when subjected to high temperatures.
• Do not allow foods with a high sugar or acid content (milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, pie fillings, etc.) to remain
on surfaces. They may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
• Do not hand clean the oven door gasket or it will be perma-
nently damaged.
To Start the Self-Clean Cycle
The
Self-Clean key controls the self Clean feature. If you are
planning to use the oven directly after a self-clean cycle
remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven
door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. So a 3 hour
self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
*It
is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for
light soils, a 3
hour cycle for
average soils.
To avoid possible burns use care when opening
the oven door after the self-cleaning cycle. Stand to the side of
the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or steam to
escape.
Do not force the oven door open. This can damage the
automatic door locking system. Use caution and avoid possible
burns when opening the door after the self-cleaning cycle has
completed. The oven may still be very hot.
To start an immediate Self-Clean cycle or to set a Delay Start
time of 4:30 and shut-off automatically (example is a default 3
hour Self-Clean Cycle)
1. Be sure clock is set for correct time of day and door is
closed.
2. Press Self -Clean. CLEAN will flash and 3:00 HR will show in

Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle
due to excessive smoke or fire in the oven:
1. Press .
2. The oven door can only be opened after the oven has
cooled down for approximately 1 HOUR and the DOOR
LOCKED icon is no longer displayed.
Note: If your clock is set for normal 12 hour display mode the

Care and Cleaning
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Oven
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned off and the oven is cool. Remove spills and any heavy soiling as
soon as possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of major cleaning later.
Surface Type Recommendation
Aluminum and Vinyl Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
Painted body parts
Painted decorative trims
Use a soft cloth and clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar
and water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass
cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. Do not spray liquids directly on the oven
control and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel. Excess
water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid
cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels. They will damage the finish.
Control panel
Control keypad membrane
Decorative trim (some models)
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls off and activate oven lockout (on some
models). Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. Clean
using hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Be sure to squeeze excess water from cloth or
sponge before wiping control panel, especially when wiping around the controls area. Excess
water in or around the controls may cause damage to the appliance.
Stainless Steel (some models) Always rub in direction of metal grain to avoid damaging. Do not use cleaners with high
concentrations of chlorides or chlorine. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Polish with a lint-
free cloth. Always be sure to wipe excess cleaner/polish off from the metal surface as bluish
stains may occur during future oven heating that cannot be removed. Clean heavier soils with
hot, soapy water and a cloth or sponge. Rinse and dry using clean water and a cloth.
Black Stainless Steel (some models) Clean stainless steel with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean
water and dry with a soft, clean cloth. Do not use any store bought cleaners like stainless steel
cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing abrasives, chlorides, chlorine, or ammonia.
It is recommended to use mild dish soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.

insert (available by mail order)
Door liner and body parts
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution of
clear 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, and 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.
Porcelain coated oven racks This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during
the self-clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important
that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain
optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after
every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
Oven door Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides, and front of the oven door. Rinse well.
You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the door. Do not immerse the door in
water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner to enter the door vents. Do not use
oven cleaners, cleaning powders, or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of
the oven door.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. On self-clean models, the oven door gasket is made of a
woven material which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage,
or remove this gasket.

Care and Cleaning
Removing and Replacing the Oven Door
The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage,
lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down.
To remove the oven door:
1. Open oven door completely, horizontal with floor (See
Figure 10).
2. Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door hinges
down from the oven frame completely toward the oven
door (See Figure 11). A tool such as a small flat-blade
screwdriver may be required.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides.
Do not use the oven door handle (See Figure 12).
4. Close the door to about 10 degrees from the door frame
(Figure 12
5. Lift the oven door hinge arms over the roller pins located on
each side of the oven frame (See Figure 12).
To Replace Oven Door:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides.
Do not use the oven door handle (See Figure 12).
2. Holding the oven door at the same angle as the removal
position (See Figure 12), seat the hook of the hinge arm over
the roller pins located on each side of the oven door frame
(See
Figure 13). The hook of the hinge arms must be fully
seated onto the roller pins.

Solutions to Common Problems
Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time and expense. Possible solutions are provided with the
problem listed:
Problem Solution
Poor baking results Many factors effect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the oven
and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat oven to the set temperature before placing
food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking time. See
“Adjusting Oven Temperature” on page 19 if you feel the oven is too hot or cold.
Oven does not operate. The time of day is not set. The oven clock must first be set in order to operate the oven.
Be sure oven controls are set properly. See
“Setting the Clock” on page 10 and review
instructions for the desired cooking function in this manual.
Service wiring is not complete.
Oven light does not work. Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See
“Replacing the oven light” on page 25.
Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vent.
Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto oven bottom or oven cavity. Wipe up
excessive spills before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present when using
broil, see
“Setting Bake” on page 14.
Self clean does not work. Oven control not set properly. Review “Self-Cleaning Operation” on page 20.
Oven racks do not slide easily. This model comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during
the self-clean cycle. Do not clean the vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important
that the sides of the oven racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain
optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack
after every self-clean cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
Oven smokes excessively when
broiling.
Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in
“Setting Bake” on page 14.
Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition broil rack to provide proper clearance
between the meat and broil element. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty
edges to prevent curling.
Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently.
Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.
Oven control panel beeps and
displays any F or E code error.
Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press STOP to clear the error code. Try
bake or broil function. If the F or E code error repeats, turn off power to appliance, wait 5
minutes and then repower appliance. Set clock with correct time of day. Try bake or broil
function again. If fault recurs, press STOP to clear.
Soil not completely removed after
self clean.
Self Clean was interrupted. Review instructions in
“Self-Cleaning Oven” section on page 21.
Excessive spills on oven bottom. Clean before starting self clean.
Failure to clean 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 are not in the self-
cleaning area, but they get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before starting
the self-cleaning cycle. Burned-on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water
or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
