the top rear edge of the range and
carefully attempt to tilt it forward. Refer to
the installation instructions for proper anti-
tip bracket installation.
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.
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.
Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if
equipped) for storage.
Never Use Your Appliance for Warming
or Heating the Room.
Storage in or on Appliance=Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface
units 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 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 NOTTOUCH SURFACE UNITS,AREAS NEAR THESE
UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES
OFTHE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface units 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 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.

important Safety instructions
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
, Know 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 fiat
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 utensit to element witl also improve efficiency.
, Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface ElementsiTo 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--Boitovers cause smoking and greasy spittovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
, Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements m
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.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOU R
SELF CLEANING OVENS
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.
, Keep 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.
, Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. 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.
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
welt-ventilated room.
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.
, 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 Frequently_Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
FOR CERAMIC=GLASS COOK TOP MODELS
, Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top--If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spittovers 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.

Before Setting Oven Controls
OVEN VENT
Fig. 1
Arranging Oven Racks
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel (See
Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air passes through the vent. This
venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking
results. DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT.
Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and
slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt
the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Refer to Fig. 2. Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
Recommended Rack Positions for Broiling, Baking & Roasting:
Food
Broiling hamburgers & steaks
Broiling meats, chicken or fish
Cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits & muffins
Frozen pies, angel food cake, yeast, bread, casseroles
Small cuts of meat or poultry

Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Fig. 5
Fig. 2
Always use pot
holders or oven mitts when
adjusting the oven racks. Wait until
the oven has completely cooled if
possible. Oven racks may be HOT
and may cause burns.
The Flat Handle Oven Rack (Fig. 3) may be used for most cooking needs. The Offset Oven Rack (Fig. 4) is designed to
place the base of the rack about 1/2 rack position lower than the flat oven rack. This rack design provides several
additional possible positions between the standard positions. To maximize oven cooking space always place the Bottom
Oven Rack (Fig. 5) in rack position 1 for baking or roasting large cuts of meat, Do not use the Bottom Oven Rack in any
other oven rack position.
Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks
For best results when baking cakes or cookies using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 (Flat Handle Oven
Rack) & 6 using the Offset Oven Rack (some models; See Fig. 6). For best results when baking cakes or cookies using a
single oven rack, place cookware on rack positions 2, 3 or 4 (See Fig. 7).
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.

Before Setting Oven Controls (cont'd)
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic
cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Be sure to match the pan size with the diameter of the
element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-
bottomed cookware should be used.
The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings, are all factors that will affect the
amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become
hot enough to cause burns.

About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and
evenly. As the temperature rises, the element will
glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the
element will cycle on and off. The heating element
retains enough heat to provide a uniform and
consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn off the element several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning and
Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Guide.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps
to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will occur more often if the
cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

ELEMENT ON and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
Your range is equipped with two different types of radiant surface
control indicator lights that will glow on your range-- the ELEMENT ON
indicator light and the Hot Surface indicator lights (See illustration at
left). The ELEMENT ON located on the control panel and will glow
when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator
light after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are
turned OFF.
The Hot Surface indicator lights located above each surface radiant
control knob will glow as the surface cooking area heats up and will
REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled 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 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.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain cookware or ANY material that can melt to make
contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they WILL damage the ceramic cooktop.
background
Setting Surface Controls
Single Radiant Surface Elements (all models)
To Operate a Single Radiant Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the
desired setting (See Fig. 1 ). Start most cooking operations on a
higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The
surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular
mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as
needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at
each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond
the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small
for the surface heating area.
,
When cooking is complete, turn the surface element OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The ELEMENT ON
indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking
is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will continue
to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the "OFF" position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently.
Simmer Select Surface Element (some models)
The left front element control may be used as a normal element or as a simmer element. The "Simmer Select" feature
heats the element at a much lower temperature than when used as a normal surface element. You may switch between
normal cooking and the Simmer Select feature at any time during the cooking process. When using the element control
for normal cooking all of the settings on the control knob (LO to HI) function as normal.
To Start Simmer Select:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Push in the Simmer button located below the left front control knob.
3. Turn the surface control knob to the desired simmer setting within the dark band on the control knob (LO to 4). Use
the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob from LO to 4 as needed (see illustration below).The Simmer Select
indicator light will glow and remain ON while simmering (See Fig. 2).
4. To return to normal cooking, push in and release the "Simmer Select" button and the indicator light will turn OFF.
When cooking is complete, be sure to set the control knob to the OFF position.

may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
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 wooden spoons could catch
fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain cookware or ANY material that can melt to make
contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they WILL damage the ceramic cooktop.

Setting the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone (some models)
The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature.
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.

Surface Cooking
Using Turbo Boil TM Element (some models)
The Turbo BoilTMfeature uses a higher wattage surface radiant element which can bring food
items to boil much quicker. The left front radiant element will be clearly marked if this feature is
available on your range (See Fig. 1). If equipped with the Turbo Boil TM feature, place the
cookware on the left front surface element and follow the instructions "To Operate a Single
Radiant Element" in the Settings Surface Controls section.

Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results. Cookware should have flat
bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating
element (See Fig. 2). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 3).
Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is
transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most
popular materials available are:
ALUMINUM = Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will
cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining &
pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they
may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove
these marks immediately.
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave
metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).
STAINLESS STEEL = Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
CAST IRON = A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very
well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not
recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must
be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic
cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

coated cookware on the ceramic cooktopY
The melting point of cookware made with these
materials may be reached quickly especially if
left empty & they may bond to the ceramic
cooktop. If the cookware melts it WILL damage
the cooktop! BE SURE to follow ALL the
cookware manufacturer's suggestions when
using ANY type of cookware on the ceramic
cooktop.

Setting Broil (Electric Range)
The B,o,,pad controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates downward from the oven broiler for even coverage.
The Broil feature is preset to start broiling at 550°F however, the Broil feature temperature may be set at any temperature
between 400°F and 550°F.
The broil pan and broil pan insert used together allows dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of
the oven broiler. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert (See Fig. 6; some models). DO NOT cover the broil pan
insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.
Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn the oven OFF. 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.
INSTRUCTIONS
To set the oven to broil at the default setting (550°F):
1. Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the
food on the broiler pan insert (some models). DO NOT use the
broiler pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the broiler insert
with foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
2. Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on the
rack. Be sure to center the broiler pan directly under the broiler
element. Make sure the oven door is in the broil stop
position (See Fig. 5).
3. Press B,o,. "BROIL" will flash and "550°" will appear (Fig. 1).

Setting Convection Bake
Benefits of Convection Bake:
--Some foods cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
--Multiple rack baking.
--No special pans or bakeware needed.
Setting Convection Bake
The CONV BAKE B_;_,_pad controls the Convection Bake feature. Use
the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The
oven can be programmed for Convection Bake at any temperature
between 170 ° F (77 ° C) to 550 ° F (288 ° C).
Air circulation of Convection Cooking
Fig. 1
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven (See Fig. 1). This
improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods
cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Multiple oven rack
cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown
more evenly.
Tips for Convection Bake
1. 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.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.
3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position 4 or 5. If cooking on multiple racks, place
the oven racks in positions 2, 4 and 7 (for 3 racks) and positions 3 and 6 (See Fig. 1).
4. Cakes have better results when baked using the BAKE BBkepad.

Roasting Rack instructions (optional accessory=some models)
When preparing meats for convection roasting, use the broiler pan and insert along
with the roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert will help
prevent grease splatters. The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the
meat.
Fig. 2
..........iii.........
To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent
grease splattering, DO NOT use the roasting rack when broiling.
1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom rack position. See Arranging
Oven Racks in the Before Setting Oven Controls section.
2. Place the insert in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the insert allowing the
heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase
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.
3. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack (See Fig. 3).

Setting the Slow Cook Feature
Setting the Slow Cook Feature
The ,,ow
cookSLOW COOK pad 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 HI setting is best for cooking foods from a 4 to 5 hour time
period. The LOW setting is best for cooking foods from a 8 to 9 hour time period. The maximum cook time for the Slow
Cook feature is 12 hours unless the oven control has been changed to the Continuous Bake mode.This feature may be
used with the additional settings of a Timed Bake or a Delay Start (Delayed Timed Bake).
Some tips you should review for best possible results using Slow Cook feature:
Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the Slow Cook.
When using a single rack, place in position 2 or 3.
Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking utensils when cooking multiple food item.
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.
Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook times will vary; depending on the weight, fat content, bone
& the shape of the roast.
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.
See the suggested Slow Cook feature recipes provided in the back of this Use & Care Guide.

* Preparing for a Self-Clean cycle
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-Cleaning 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 range with aluminum foil. Doing so
will destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the oven 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.

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.
Prepare for the Self=Cleaning Cycle with the following precautions:
* 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 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 the broiler pan & insert, all utensils & ANY aluminum foil.
These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
* Remove the oven racks. If the racks are left in the oven during the Self-
Clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue & the finish will be dull. 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 oven racks glide easier into the oven rack positions).
* Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the
Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
* 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.
* NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the
oven bottom should be removed.

Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface
(on the web visit www.sears.com for replacement cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a non-abrasive cloth
or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream
leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause
metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed
immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream.
Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark
or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass
across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work
surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface
without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, they
may cause it to crack.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can
chem ca y damage the ceram c-g ass surface.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic
type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving
no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive
plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for
any other purpose.
O
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding
scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop
cleaning cream and buff surface clean.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use
an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been
specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the
ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop
surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface
elements OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape
the soil from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the
same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Before You Call
Solutions to Common Problems
Before you call for service, review the following list. It may save you time & expense. The list includes common occurrences
(shown in bold) that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance. The possible corrections to these
problems are provided with the problem listed:
Ranae is not level = (1) Poor installation. Place oven rack in
center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling
legs at base of range until the oven rack is level. (2) Be sure
floor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support
range. (3) If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to
correct the situation. (4) Kitchen cabinet alignment may make
range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square & have
sufficient room for range clearance.
Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be
accessible for service - (1) Cabinets not square or are built in
too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance
accessible. (2) Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient
space so range can be lifted over carpet.
Surface element too hot or not hot enouah = Incorrect control
setting. Be sure the correct control is ON for the element to be
used.
Surface element does not heat =(1) Lightweight or warped
pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or
heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans.
Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating.
Heavy & medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight
pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily. (2) No power to the
appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not
Operate" in this checklist. (3) Incorrect control setting. Make
sure the correct control is ON for the surface element to be
used.
Entire appliance does not operate = (1) The time of day is not
set. The time of day must first be set in order to operate the
oven. See "To Set the Clock" in the Setting Oven Controls
section.(2) Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.
(3) Service wiring is not complete. Call 0 < +2 0 ( ®
for assistance (See back cover). (4) Electrical power outage.
Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company
for service.
Oven does not operate - Be sure the oven controls are set
properly for the desired function. See Setting Oven Controls in
this Use & Care Manual or read the instructions "Entire
appliance does not operate" in this checklist.
Oven liaht does not work (some models) = Replace or tighten
bulb. See Changing Oven Light section in this Use & Care
_Ha_ontrol beeps and displays any "F" code error (for
example Fll} = Electronic control has detected a fault condition.
Press CLEAR/OFF to clear the display & stop beeping.
Reprogram oven. If fault recurs, record fault number. Press
CLEAR/OFF & call 0 < +2 0 ( ® for assistance (See
back cover).
Flames inside oven or smokinq from oven vent = Excessive
spitlovers in oven. For example this wilt happen for pie spittovers
or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up
excessive spitlovers before starting oven. If flames or excessive
smoke are present see "Broiling" in the Setting Oven Controls
section.
Oven smokes excessively durina broilinq = (1) Control(s) not
set properly. Follow Broil instructions under Setting Oven
Controls. (2) Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop
position. (3) Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the
broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the
element. Preheat the broil element for searing. (4) Meat not
properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut fatty
edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean. (5) Insert on
broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place
grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease
to drip into pan (some models). (6) Grease has built up on oven
surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive
smoking.
Poor bakina results - Many factors affect baking results. Make
sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the
oven & space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to
preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven.
Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or baking
time. If you feet the oven is too hot or cool, see Adjusting Your
Oven Temperature in this Use & Care Manual.
Soil not completely removed after Self=Cleanin. CCLC3L_le=
Failure to clean bottom, front top of oven, frame of oven or door
area outside oven seal. These areas are not in the Self-Cleaning
area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas
before the Self-Cleaning cycle is started. 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.
Self=CleanincLcvcle does not work = (1) Oven control not set
properly. Follow instructions under Self=Cleaning. (2) Self-
Cleaning cycle was interrupted. Follow steps under "Stopping or
Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle" under Self=Cleaning.
Metal marks (Ceramic Cooktop models) = Sliding or scraping
