Preparing for Rnstailation
Positioning the cooktop
The cooktop is designed to look best when centered
in a cabinet it's same width.
The exhaust vent beneath the cooktop must be locat-
ed between wall studs or floor joists so that ductwork
may be installed properly.
At least 6" must be allowed between side edges of
cooktop and adjacent walls.

Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop unit, if pos-
sible, in order to reduce the hazards caused by reach-
ing over heated surface units. If cabinets are placed
over the cooktop, the risks can be reduced by installing
a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5
inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
If cabinetry is used above cooktop, allow a minimum
30" clearance between the cooking surface and the
bottom of any unprotected cabinet,
If clearance between cooktop and cabinetry is less
than 30'; cabinet bottom must be protected with flame
retardant millboard at least 1/4" thick, covered with 28
gauge sheet steel or 0.020" thick copper. Clearance
between cooktop and protected cabinetry must
NEVER BE LESS THAN 24"
A 15" minimum must be kept from the side edge of
cooktop to the bottom of any cabinet not directly above
cooktop. If clearance is less than 15", adjacent cabi-
nets should be at least 6" from side edge of cooktop.
Preparing the Base Cabinet
This cooktop is designed to fit easily into a variety of
cabinets. However, some cabinets may require modi-
fications.
Preparing a cabinet that is against a wall
In some cabinets, the sides may need to be scooped
or cut down 2" as shown, and the corner braces
removed in order to accommodate the unit.
In 75 cm. and 90 cm. frameless European cabinets,
the back panel may need to be cut down 5" to accom-
modate the unit.

In general, the use of flexible ducting is discouraged
because it can cause severely restricted airflow.
However, if the blower outlet and the floor or walt duct
location do NOT align well, then flexible METAL duct-
ing can be used to adapt to an offset. Good alignment
without use of flexible ducting is best.
NOTE:
o DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMEND-
ED OFFSET OF 3".
o DO NOT ALLOW THE FLEXIBLE DUCTING TO

Steps to Determine FHexible
Ducting's Equivalent Length
1. Measure the actual amount of offset (MAXIMUM 3"
RECOMMENDED). The effect upon airflow is
dependent upon the amount of offset.
2. Calculate the equivalent ducting allowances using:
(__ in. offset) x (14 Ft. per inch)
= _ Ft, equivalent length.
3. Enter the calculated value into TABLE 1 of this
installation instruction.
4. Ensure that the total equivalent length of ducting
does not exceed the maximum recommendation of
1O0 feet.
@
LnstaHing the Duct'work
Use minimum 26 gauge galvanized or 24 gauge alu-
minum duct in 6" round or 3W" x t0" size, or combina-
tion of both.
PVC duct should be used if installing under a poured
concrete slab.
NOTE: Local building code must be followed in speci-
fying approved type and schedule of PVC duct used.
5" round duct may be used on SHORT DUCT runs.
But, note higher equivalent lengths for each 5" dia.
piece used. Don't convert back to 5" duct after use of
6" round or 3'/.," x 10" duct.
Always use an appropriate roof or wall cap with
damper. Laundry type walt caps should NEVER by
used.

appliance.
When usingelectrical appliances,basic safetypre-
cautionsshouldbe followed,includingthe following:
o Use this cooktop only for its intended use as
described in this use and care guide.
o Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and ground-
ed by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided
installationinstructions.
o Do not assume that you know
how to operate all parts of the
cooktop. Some features may
work differently from those on
your previous cooktop.
° Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
your cooktop unless it is specifically recom-
mended in this guide. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified technician.
Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse, Mark it for easy reference.
o Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE COOKTOP POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
Do not leave children
alone or unattended
while the cooktop units
are in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
o Do not allow anyone to
climb, stand or hang on
the cooktop.
t{
CAUTION: ITEMS OF
INTEREST TO CHILDREN
SHOULD NOT BE STORED
IN CABINETS ABOVE THE
COOKTOP-- CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE COOKTOP
TO REACH THEM COULD BE
SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Never wear loose-fitting
or hanging garments
while using the cooktop.
Flammable material could
be ignited if brought in con-
tact with hot surfaces and
may cause severe burns.
Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloths
in place of a pot holder.
Never use your appliance
for warming or heating the
room,
Do not store flammable
materials near the
cooktop. Do not store or
use combustible materi-
als, gasoline or other
flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
Keep the vent grille and the grease filters
clean to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate on or near the cooktop.
o Never clean the cooktop surface when it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet
cloths could cause steam burns if used on a hot
surface.
o Do not use water on grease
fires. Never pick up a flaming
pan. Smother a flaming pan
on surface unit by covering
pan completely with well-fit-
ting lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray, or if available, use a dry
chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering with baking soda or, if available, a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher.
o Do not heat unopened
food containers.
Pressure could buildup
and the container could
burst causing an injury,
o Do not touch heating elements. These surfaces
may be hot enough to burn even though they are
dark in color. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials con-
tact the surface units or areas nearby surface
units; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
removable modules, accessories and areas
facing the cooktop.
o When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly
and always cook the meat to an internal tempera-
ture of at least 170°F. This assures that,
in the remote possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will by killed and the meat
will be safe to eat.
o Use proper pan size--the modules are equipped
with 2 surface units of different size. Select cook-
ware having flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element. The use of
undersized cookware will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of the
cookware to the heating element will also improve
efficiency.
Never leave the surface
units unattended at high
heat settings. Boilover
causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on
fire.
7
Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are
in place. Their absence during cooking could
damage cooktop parts and wiring.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the cooktop
tubs, the reflector pan, the grill or the griddle.
Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or
damage to the cooktop.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.
Only the grill grate and the griddle accessory
plate may be placed over the grill heating
element.
To minimize the possibility
of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and
spillage, the cookware handles
should be turned toward the
center of the cooktop without
extending over nearby surface
units.
i
Keep the tub, the reflector pan, the grill grate
and the grease collector jar clean. Be sure the
drain hole in the tub is open. If clogged, a fire can
occur. Empty the grease jars frequently.
Do not immerse or soak the removable
surface unit module, the solid disk module,
the radiant module or the grill heating
element. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
Always turn the heating units to OFF before
removing cookware.
(continued next page)
UMPORTAINTSAFET f 8NSTIRUCTSON$(co t oued)
o Keep an eye on foods being fried at HI or
Medium High heat settings.
o To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for all
heating units are at the OFF position and all units
are cool before attempting to lift or remove them.
o Never leave the kitchen while using the grill or
griddle accessory.
o Do not replace the grease collector jar
with a mayonnaise jar whichcouldbreak
when hot grease drips into it. Replace with
any wide mouth canning jar.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over sides of
pan.
o Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
o If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt
slowly.
o Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
o Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possi-
ble to prevent overheating fat beyond the smok-
ing point.
o To control flame-ups, turn down the heat setting
to LO rather than OFF. This keeps the downdraft
vent blower on. Or, turn the vent blower to ON,
then turn the grill OFE
Use a long-handled utensil to carefully remove
the food from the grill.
These steps should control the flame until it even-
tually goes out. if it does not, cover the entire grill
module with a cookie sheet or the lid from a large
roasting pan. Use a pot holder to remove this later
because it will be hot.
° NEVER USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE.

MODULES AND ACCESSORIES GeneralInformation
A full selection of modules are available for the cook-
top. The modules can be interchanged quickly and
easily. Each module has an electrical plug which fits
into a receptacle in the center of the outside wall of
the cooktop. Some modules are inserted and
removed differently than others. See each module
section for specific instructions for installing and
removing that module.
To purchase, contact your nearest Sears store or
Sears Service Center.
Model numbers are listed below.
Care of the Modules
Some of the modules must be cured or precondi-
tioned before using them for the first time.
Modules and accessories should be cleaned after
each use. The longer a soil remains, the harder it is to
clean. See each module section in this manual for
specific instructions. Never immerse any module in
water.
When not in the cooktop, modules and accessories
should be stored in a clean, dry place. Always
be careful not to drop the modules or they could
be damaged.
Using the Electric Element Modules
You must consider heat up and cool down times
for the elements when determining cooking times.
Heat up and cool down times depend on initial tem-
perature settings, the type of cookware used and the
amount of food being cooked.
Start cooking at a higher setting to heat the element
faster, then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
Remember, cooking continues after the element
is turned off.

Cookware
Right
Wrong
Not over 1 inch Over I inch
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.
Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to
absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medi-
um heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not
combined with other metals.
For best cooking results pans should be flat on the
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of
the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the
edge of the trim ring more than 1 inch.
Always read and follow cookware manufacturer's
instructions on cookware use.
Deep Fat Frying
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over
when adding food. Frozen or icy foods cause vigor-
ous bubbling and spattering. Watch food frying at high
temperatures. Keep the cooktop and hood clean from
grease.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you ___;,
use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at
your local retail store.
Do not use woks that ......
have support rings.
Use of these types of
woks, with or without
the ring in place can
be dangerous. _E_:_,.... %::
Placing the ring over the surface unit wilt cause a
build-up of heat that will damage the porcelain cook-
top. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You
could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
Questions and Answers
Qw
A.
Q. Can I cover my drip pans with foil?
A, No. Clean as recommended in the Care and clean-
ing section.
Q. Can I use special cooking equipment, like an
oriental wok, on any surface units?
A. Cookware without flat surfaces is not recommend-
ed. The life of your surface unit can be shortened
and the cooktop can be damaged from the high
heat needed for this type of cooking. A special flat
bottom wok can be used safely.
Q. Why am i not getting the heat 1 need from my
units even though t have the knobs on the
right setting?
A. After turning the surface unit off and making sure it
is cool, check to make sure that your plug-in units
are securely plugged in.
Why does my cookware tilt when I place it on
the surface unit?
Q.
A.
Because the surface unit is not flat. Make sure the
feet of your surface units are sitting on the inside
rim of the drip pan and the drip pan is flat on the
cooktop surface.
Why is the porcelain finish on my cookware
coming off?
If you set your surface unit coil higher than required
for the cookware materiai and leave it, the finish
may smoke, crack, pop, or burn depending on the
pot or pan.
Also, if you set the surface unit coil higher than
required for a long period of time, with small
amounts of dry food, you can damage the finish.

Before Using Your Solid Disk rVioduRe
for the First Time
The top working surface of solid disk elements
have a protective coating which must be hard-
ened before using the elements for the first time.
To harden this coating, the elements should be heated
without a pan for about 5 minutes at the HI setting.
Otherwise the coating will stick to the pan.
There will be some smoke and odor; this is normal.
Heating of the element will change the stainless steel
element trim rings to a gold color.
THE ELEMENT PROTECTIVE COATING MUST BE
HARDENED TO HELP PROTECT THE ELEMENT
OVER ITS LIFE.
General Information About
Solid Disk Elements
Using a solid disk element is quite similar to using an
electric coil surface unit. With both types of surface
units you wilt enjoy the cleanliness of electricity and
the benefits of retained heat in the elements.
However, there are differences.
o Solid disk elements reach temperature a little
slower, and hold heat longer than coil units. Solid
disk elements have very even heat distribution.
Since solid disk elements hold heat longer, you may
wish to turn the element off sooner, and take
advantage of the residual heat. The amount of
residual heat is dependent upon the quantity and
type of food, the material and thickness of the pan
and the setting used for cooking.
oThe red dot in the center of the solid disk element
indicates built-in temperature iimiters that
automatically reduce the heat if a pan boils dry, if the
element is turned on without a pan or if the pan is
not making enough contact with the surface of the
element. The red dots will wear off with use without
affecting the performance of the elements.
°There is retained heat in the element. On
boilovers, wait for the element to cool before
cleaning the element area.
oYou must use proper flat bottomed cookware, not
cookware that is warped, convex, or concave.
Improper cookware could cause poor cooking
results.
o Unlike electric coil surface units, solid disk
elements do NOT turn red hot, even at HI setting.
You may however, notice a dull glow when the
elements are on HI and the room is dimly lit.
°Solid disk element cooking takes you a step
closer to easier cleanup because the cooking
surface is sealed against spills. There are no drip
bowls or burner boxes to clean.
16
CooloNare Tips
For cooking on solid disk elements, the use of
correct cookware is very important.
oAluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other
metals.
° Cast-iron and coated cast-iron containers are slow
to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at
minimum or medium heat settings.
°Glass cookware should be used only as the
manufacturer describes.
=Do not use a wire trivet or any other kind of
heat-retarding pad between the cookware and the
element.
° Good pans have a thick, flat bottom which absorbs
the heat from the element. The thick, flat bottom
provides good heat distribution from the element to
the food.
o Pans with thin, uneven bottoms do not do a good job
of using the heat coming from the element. The food
to be cooked may burn and require more time and
electricity. You would also have to add more fat or
water.
Pans with uneven bottoms are not suitable.
How to Check Pan Performance on a
Solid Disk Element
1. Put 1 inch of water into the pan.
2. Bring the water to a boil and observe the pattern of
the bubbles as the water comes to a boil.
3. A uniform pattern of bubbles across the bottom
of the pan confirms a good heat transfer and a
good pan.
4. Bubbles localized in only a portion of the bottom
indicate uneven contact of the pan to the element,
uneven heat transfer or an unsuitable pan.
oDo not use pans with rounded bot-
toms. They do not have enough
contact with the solid disk element
to cook property.
• Use pans of the correct diameter
only. They should be slightly larger
than the solid disk element so
spiltovers will flow onto the cook-
top and not bake onto the ele-
ment. A damp cloth is sufficient to
remove the spill. Pans should not
overhang more than 1 inch
beyond the element.
optimize cooking time and
energy usage, you should use a
pan that is sized correctly for the
cooking process, with a well-fitted
lid to avoid evaporation loss, and
cool< with as little water or fat as
possible. If the pan is too small,
energy is wasted and spillage can
flow onto the solid disk element.
Place only dry pans on the solid
disk elements. Do not place lids on
the elements, particularly wet lids.
°We recommend that you
use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at
your local retail store. The
bottom of the wok should
have the same diameter as
the element to ensure
proper contact.
oDo not use woks that have support
rings. This type of wok will not
heat on solid disk elements.
o Some special cooking procedures require specific
cookware such as pressure cookers, deep fat fryers,
etc. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the
correct size. The cookware should also be covered,
if applicable to the cooking process.
<_!_;._:_, °'Canning pots should not extend
more than 1 inch beyond the
surface of a solid disk element and
should have flat bottoms. When
canning pots do not meet this
description, the use of the HI heat
setting causes excessive heat
buildup and may result in damage
to the cooktop. See the Home
Canning Tips section for further
information.

Questions and Answers
Q. May I can foods and preserves on my solid disk
elements?
A. Yes, but only use cookware designed for canning
purposes. Check the manufacturer's instructions
and recipes for preserving foods. Be sure canner is
flat-bottomed and fits over the center of the solid
disk element. Since canning generates large
amounts of steam, be careful to avoid burns from
steam or heat. Canning should only be done on
surface units. Follow our recommendations in the
Home Canning Tips section.
Q. Why does the solid disk element smoke when I
first turn it on?
A. This initial smoking is both normal and necessary.
A rust preventative is applied to each element at
the factory. When the unit is turned on for the first
time, the coating will burn off the element areas.
This takes approximately five minutes and should
be done without any cookware on the element.
Otherwise, the coating will stick to the cookware.
Q. Why is the cooktop hot to the touch?
A. More heat is transferred to the cooktop by the solid
disk elements than by electric coil elements
because the elements are clamped securely to the
cooktop. This, of course, eliminates spillovers from
getting inside the cooktop chassis. The secret to
keeping the cooktop comfortably cooler is to turn
the cooktop on only after the cookware and its con-
tents are placed on the element. More heat wil!
then be transferred to the cookware and the food
rather than the cooktop. The cooktop temperature
will not cause damage to the cabinets, countertops
or cookware.
Q. Why am I overcooking my food with the new
solid disk elements?
A. The solid disk elements are very energy-efficient
and retain heat much longer than the coil ele-
ments. Food will boil or fry three to five minutes
after the controls are turned off. We recommend
that you begin cooking at lower settings than you
have in the past and gradually increase or
decrease heat as desired. The energy savings are
significant.
Q, Why does it take a long time to cook my food?
A. It doesn't. The extra time it takes compared to the
electric coil element is measured in seconds, not
minutes. These few seconds are due to the greater
mass of the element. If the food is cooking slowly, it
is because the pots and pans are warped or have
an uneven bottom surface, tf flat-bottomed pots
and pans are used, cooking performance of the
solid disk element closely parallels that of the coil
element with less energy consumption.
Q. Can I use special cooking equipment like an
oriental wok, on my solid disk elements?
A. We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store.
The bottom of the wok should have the same
diameter as the element to ensure proper contact.
Do not use woks that have support rings. This type
of wok will not heat on solid disk elements.
Q. Why is the porcelain finish on my cookware
coming off?
A. If you set your solid disk element on a heat setting
higher than required for the cookware material,
and let the cookware sit too long, the cookware's
finish may smoke, crack, pop or burn depending
on the pot or pan. Also, cooking small amounts of
dry food may damage the cookware's finish.

General information About
Radiant Modules
The radiant module features heating coils beneath a
smooth glass ceramic surface, The 2 surfaces units
are shown by outlines on the glass.
,, When a surface unit is activated, coils beneath the
unit radiate heat through the glass to the cookware.
The red glow of the coils will be instantly visible
through the glass, it will take the surface unit on the
surface a few moments to heat up. The coil cycles
on and and off to maintain your selected control set-
ting. The coils have temperature limiters to prevent
runaway temperatures.
,, Use the same cookware that you would use with
solid disk elements.
o If you are storing modules, do not stack them or
store other materials on top of them, as damage to
the glass ceramic surface of the radiant module is
likely. Be careful not to damage or bend the electrical
plug.
,, Do not let pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond
to glass module. An overheated copper pot will leave
a residue that will permanently stain the module.
,, Sliding aluminum cookware across the glass may
leave metal marks. These metal marks will appear
as small scratches. They can be removed with Cook
Top Cleaning Creme and a razor scraper.
o When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be
seen glowing red within a few seconds. The red glow
will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain the selected
heat setting. With poor cookware, you will see fre-
quent cycling of the unit off and on. Good, flat cook-
ware will minimize the cycling.
o It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or sur-
face on the glass ceramic surface when it is cool.
Hot cookware will not damage the surface.
iVtelted Materials on the IVlodule
Melted materials (plastic, aluminum foil, sugar or
foods with high sugar content) can cause damage to
the module.
If you accidentally melt anything _ _.,_-
on the module, turn the unit to LO,__>_
wipe the hot module immediately with _.t
several dry paper towels. Wearing an I_J\
oven mitt, hold a razor scraper at a /Y/!
30 ° angle to the module and scrape ,./
the hot spill to a cool area outside of the surface unit.
Be careful not to burn yourself.
Do not attempt further cleaning until the module
surface has cooled. See the Care and Cleaning
section.
NOTE: Be sure to use a new, sharp blade in the razor
scraper. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

Radiant l oduBe (continued)
Cookware
Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking
performance and cleaning of your cooktop. The
correct cookware reduces the temperature of the
glass ceramic surface and minimizes the chance of
spillovers burning onto the surface units.
Use paris with thick, flat, smooth bottoms. Slightly
concave pans give acceptable results. Do not expect
good results from convex bottom pans. To check the
flatness of your pan try 1 of the the following tests:
1. Turn the bottom of the pan up. % .....
Place the edge of a ruler / !
across the bottom of the pan.
Little or no light should be visi-
ble under the ruler.
2. Another simple test to determine even heat distri-
bution across the cookware bottom is to put
1 inch of water in the pan. Bring the water to a boil
and observe the location of bubbles as the water
starts to boil. Good fiat cookware will have an even
distribution of bubbles over the bottom surface area
of the pan. Bubbles localized in only a portion of the
bottom indicate uneven contact of the pan to
the surface unit, uneven heat transfer or an unsuit-
able pan.
Use pans that match the diameter of the surface
unit. Cooking performance will not be as good if the
cookware is either smaller or larger than the surface
unit.
The following information will help you choose
cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel: highly recommended
Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The
sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless
steel (appearance, durability, and stability) with the
advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction,
even heat distribution).
Aluminum: heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes
appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be
removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low
melting point, thin weight aluminum should not be
used.
Copper Bottom:
Good performance, but copper may leave residues
which can appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immedi-
ately.
Porcelainlenamel:
Good performance only with a thick, flat, smooth bot-
tom. Avoid boiling dry, as porcelain can melt and fuse
to the surface.
Glass-ceramic: not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch surface. Usable, but
not recommended.
Stoneware: not recommended
Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.
Cast Iron: not recommended
Poor performance. Wilt scratch the surface.
, Do not use pans with rounded bot-
toms. They don't have enough
contact with the heating surface to
cook properly.
° Use pans with bottoms that do not
extend beyond the cooking ring.
For best cooking results, you
should use a pan that is sized cor-
rectly for the recipes, with a well-
fitted lid to avoid evaporation loss,
and cook with as little water or fat
as possible. If the pan is too small,
energy is wasted and spillage can
flow onto the glass cooking sur-
face.
Place only dry pans on the heating
surfaces. Do not place lids on the
heating surfaces, particularly wet
lids.
oWe recommend that you use
only a flat-bottomed wok. They
are available at your local retail
store. The bottom of the wok
should have the same diameter
as the heating surface to ensure
proper contact.
° Do not use woks that have support
rings. This type of wok will not
heat on radiant surfaces.
o Some special cooking procedures require specific
cookware such as pressure cookers, deep fat fryers,
etc. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the
correct size. The cookware should also be covered,
if applicable to the cooking process.

vents the heating unit from
being turned on accidental-
ly. Push the knob in only
when it is in the OFF posi-
tion. When the knob is in
any other position, it can be
turned without pushing it in,
Front and rear units of the grill heating unit are
controlled separately. Heat only half the grill surface
for cooking small portions or set each half at a differ-
ent temperature for cooking different types of foods,
Push in the control knob depending on which side of
the cooktop grill module is used. The right front and
right rear control knobs control the grill when the mod-
ule is on the right side (on some models), The left
front and left rear control knobs operate the grill when
the grill module is on the left side of the cooktop.

What To Do if a Flame-Up Occurs
Grilling fat or juicy foods may cause flame-ups. You
should never leave the kitchen while using the grill.
It's important to control flame-ups so they do not get
out of hand.
TO CONTROL FLAME-UPS
Turn down the heat setting to LO rather than OFF.
This keeps the downdraft vent blower on, Or, turn the
vent to ON, then turn the grill OFF.
Using a long-handled utensil, carefully remove the
food from the grill.
These steps should control the flame until it eventual-
ly goes out. If it does not, cover the entire grill mod-
ule with a cookie sheet or the lid from a large roasting
pan. Use a pot holder to remove this later because it
will be hot.
Do not use the module cover to smother fire. Paint will
be damaged.
NEVER USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE.
GragtTips
Do not leave the grill unattended while in use.
o Be sure to preheat according to the cooking guide.
o Make sure the grease collector jar and the reflector
pan are clean and in place before using the grill.
o Remove grease from the grease collector jar after
each use to avoid spillovers.
Grates should be oiled or sprayed with a non-stick
coating before cooking to prevent sticking. Remove
the grate before spraying, and spray only while cool.
Spraying directly onto a hot grill may cause a fire.
o Trim fat from meats before placing on the grill. This
will reduce smoking and lessen grease buildup in the
grease collector jar.
o When cooking foods of various sizes and thickness-
es, start larger or thicker pieces first, and quicker-
cooking smaller pieces later. Press meat lightly to lie
flat on the grill: slash the fat on the edges of steaks
and chops to prevent curling; break the joints of split
chickens so they will lie flat.
o Allow space between foods when placing them on
the grill. Air needs to circulate around the food for
best cooking results.
o Occasionally rearrange foods on the grill, to prevent
sticking and provide better browning.
o Season meats after cooking rather than before--salt
can dry out juices and dry out meat. Use tongs to
turn and rearrange meats on the grill; forks will
pierce the meat and release juices.
o If your house has low voltage, foods may be lighter
brown than expected. A longer preheating and grill
time may be necessary to achieve the desired
results.
o The blower comes on automatically when the grill is
turned on and turns off automatically when the grill is
turned off.
Questions and Answers
Q. i followed the cooking times suggested in the
grill cooking guide but my foods were not done
properly. Is there something wrong with my
grill?
A. Probably not. Suggested cooking times should be
used only as a general guide. Variables in food can
change cooking times required.
Q. How can I keep barbecued meats from devel-
oping an unattractive burned look and taste?
A. Sauces containing sugar will often burn if used dur-
ing the entire cooking time. If your favorite sauce
contains sugar, try adding it only during the last 15
to 20 minutes of cooking time for best results.
Q. Can my grill be switched to the other side of
the cooktop where it would be more conve-
nient for me?
A_
Your interchangeable cooktop modules can be
used on either the right or the left side of the cook-
top (on some models). When inserting or remov-
ing a module, take care not to force the connection
or exert undue pressure which could damage the
electrical contacts.

The non-stick griddle must be preconditioned
before using it for the first time. To precondition,
first wash the griddle in soap and water and dry. Then
use a paper towel to apply a small amount of cooking
oil to the griddle. Remove excess oil with a clean
paper towel.
Preheat the griddle as recommended in the Griddle
Cooking Guide. After preheating for the recommended
amount of time, apply a small amount of oil or butter.
Do not over heat the griddle. Leaving the griddle at
HI for more that 5 minutes without food can damage
the non-stick coating.
Because the heating element under the griddle is
divided, you can vary the temperature of the front and
rear sections,
How to Set the Griddle Controas
The control knob must be
pushed in to turn; this pre-
vents the heating unit from
being turned on accidental-
ly. Push the knob in only
when it is in the OFF posi-
tion. When the knob is in
any other position, it can be
turned without pushing it in.
Front and rear units of the griddle heating unit are
controlled separately. Heat only half the griddle sur-
face for cooking small portions or set each half at a
different temperature for cooking different types of
foods.
Push in the control knob depending on which side of
the cooktop griddle module is used. The right front
and right rear control knobs control the griddle when
the module is on the right side (on some models).
The left front and left rear control knobs operate the
griddle when the griddle module is on the left side of
the cooktop.

Automatic tBUower Operation
The blower comes on automatically when the griddle
is turned on and turns off automatically when the grid-
dle is turned off.
Griddle Tips
o Most griddled foods require cooking on a preheated
surface, which may be greased lightly before adding
food. Preheat griddle 5 minutes or less at HI setting,
then switch to recommended cook setting.
o If your house has low voltage, foods may be lighter
brown than expected. A longer preheating and grid-
dle time may be needed to get good cooking results.
o Make sure the griddle is clean.
oCheck the grease collector jar and empty if neces-
sary to avoid spiltovers.
,, To avoid damaging the nonstick finish, store the griddle
upright on edge, if possible. If it is necessary to store
it flat, avoid placing other pans or utensils on top.
o Foods which are high in natural fat, such as bacon or
sausage, may be started on a cold griddle.
o The blower comes on automatically when the grid-
dle is turned on and turns off automatically when the
griddle is turned off.
o Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points or rough
or sharp edges which might damage the nonstick coat-
ed griddle surface. Do not cut foods on the griddle.
GRIDDLE COOKING GUBDE
o Foods to be warmed may be placed directly on the
griddle; a high domed metal cover, such as an invert-
ed kettle, placed over them will help store the heat.
o Condition or "season" the griddle before first-time
use.
Questions and Answers
Qw
A_
QI
A.
Can my griddle be switched to the other side
of the cooktop where it would be more conve-
nient for me?
Your interchangeable cooktop modules can be
used on either the right or left side of the cooktop
(on some models). When inserting or removing a
module, take care not to force the connection or
exert undue pressure which could damage the
electrical contacts.
Can prolonged periods of high heat damage
my griddle's surface?
A brief preheating period is often necessary for
best results with many foods, but leaving the grid-
dle on HI heat setting for more than 5 minutes with-
out food can damage the nonstick coating. Always
be sure to turn control knobs to OFF when cook-
ing is completed.
Do not leave cooktop unattended during "pre-
heat" (knobs turned to Hi) or anytime the knobs
are turned to HI with food on the griddle.
Suggested cooking times should be used only as a
guide since variables in food may change cooking
time.

HOME CANNING T P$
Canning should be done on the Coil Surface Unit
modules or the Solid Disk modules only.
Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of cooking element
are not recommended for most surface cooking.
However, when canning with a water-bath or pressure
canner, larger-diameter cookware may be used. This
is because boiling water temperatures (even under
pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces sur-
rounding the cooking element.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CAN-
NERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS FOR
FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN
WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures--and all types
of frying--cook at temperatures much higher than
boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually
harm cooktop surfaces surrounding heating units.
Observe the Foflowing Points in Canning
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the cook-
ing element. If your cooktop or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered on the cooking ele-
ment, use smaller-diameter canners for good can-
ning results or try putting module on opposite side
of cooktop (on some models) so the larger cooking
element is in front. Be sure the canner or other
large diameter pans do not touch the control knobs
or the vent grille. The knobs and the vent grille will
be damaged if touched by hot cookware.
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use
canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because they don't make
enough contact with the solid disk element and take
too long to boil water.
2
RIGHT WRONG
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended,
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as
Ball and Kerr; and the United States Department of
Agriculture Extension Service.
4. Remember that canning is a process that gener-
ates large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from
steam or heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may
take longer than expected, even though directions
have been carefully followed. The process time wilt be
shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest
heating of large quantities of water.
CAUTION:
Safe canning requires that harmful microorgan-
isms are destroyed and that the jars are sealed
completely. When canning foods in a water-bath can-
ner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained con-
tinuously for the required time. When canning foods
in a pressure canner, the pressure must be main-
tained continuously for the required time.
tf a solid disk element is used for canning, please
note that solid disk elements heat up and cool down
more slowly than other electric coil elements. Because
of this difference, after you have adjusted the controls
it is very important to make sure the prescribed boil or
pressure levels are maintained for the required time.
The solid disk elements have temperature limiters that
help prevent damage to the cooktop. If the bottom of
your canner is not flat, the solid disk element can
overheat, triggering the temperature limiters to turn
the unit off for a time. This will stop the boil or reduce
the pressure in the canner.
Since you must make sure to process the canning jars
for the prescribed time, with no interruption in pro-
cessing time, you cannot can on solid disk elements if
the bottom of your canner is not flat enough.

OOOKTOP VENT SYSTEM CARE AND OLEANRNG
The blower comes on automatically when the grill or
griddle is turned on and turns off automatically when
the grill or griddle is turned off.
if the vent is turned on manually, the blower will not
turn off automatically and must be turned off manually.
The built-in vent system helps remove cooking
vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on the
cooktop modules.
How to Operate Vent System
To operate the vent system
manually, turn the VENT
knob on the control panel
clockwise to ON.
OFF
ON
Continuous use of the vent system while cooking
helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid,
reducing cooking odors and soiling moisture that nor-
mally creates a frequent need for cleaning.
NOTE: Let the cooktop parts coot before touching or
handling.
Proper care and cleaning are important so your cook-
top will give you efficient and satisfactory service.
Follow these directions carefully in caring for your
cooktop to assure safe and proper maintenance.
Porcelain Enamel Finish
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but break-
able if misused. This finish is acid-resistant.
However, any acid foods spilled (such as fruit juices,
tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain
on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a
dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When
the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water.
Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with
soap and water or cleansing powders after the sur-
face has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
Grease Collector Jar
Scoop out grease with a large spoon. Soak in
warm water to loosen grease if desired.
Clean with a plastic or soap-filled scouring
pad and hot soapy water.
The jar may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
The jar may be replaced with any wide mouth canning
jar. Do not replace the grease collector jar with a may-
onnaise jar which could break when hot grease drips
into it.
Control Panea and Knobs
Pull off the knobs.
Wash in mild soapy water but do not
soak.
Wash panel with soapy water or non-
abrasive, all-purpose spray cleaner. Do
not allow water to run down inside the
surface of the panel while cleaning.
After drying, return knobs to the cooktop, making sure
to match the flat area on the knob and the shaft.

over the grill while preheating.
To clean the module cover, wash it at the sink with
soap and water and dry. For stubborn soil, let it soak 5
or 10 minutes or use a nylon brush or pad. Do not use
a metal scouring pad or other abrasives. Do not put
the cover in your dishwasher--the wooden handles
may be damaged.
Coil Surface Unit Module
Clean the area surrounding the surface units
according to the Porcelain Finish section.
To clean the surface units, turn the control to the
highest setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any
soil.
CAUTION
o Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of any
kind.
o Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.
o Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.
o Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair
the plugqn receptacle.

water and polish with a clean soft cloth.
The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Clean the area under the drip pans often. Built-up
soil, especially grease, may catch fire.
Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so
close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or
damage to the cooktop.
CAUTION: Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF
and surface units are cool before attempting to
remove them.

CARE AND OLEANRNG (continued)
Sofid Disk ModuRe
Clean the area surrounding the solid disk elements
according to the Porcelain Finish sections.
Solid Disk Elements
The solid disk elements are made of high strength
cast-iron alloy,
The surface has a heat-resistant coating to pre-
serve the surface of the element. After the unit
cools, any boiled-over material on the elements
should be removed as soon as possible with a slightly
damp cloth. The element should then be dried by
switching on for a few minutes. After it cools, wipe
lightly with cooking oil.
Clean very dirty solid disk elements with a little
cleaning powder (such as Comet '_'cleanser) or with
a scouring pad.
The matte black surface can be maintained by
treating it periodically with Colic Electrol '_'polish
which is available from your Sears supplier. Use the
applicator to apply a very thin coating of the polish to
the entire element surface. Turn the element on high
for several minutes to bake the polish to the element.
When the element is cooled, rub lightly with a cloth or
paper towel to remove any excess polish. Before next
use, burn off the element by means of a short pre-
heating period. A slight amount of smoke and odor will
occur.
Failure to maintain the solid disk elements as
directed will result in defacing the surface over a
period of time primarily due to corrosion, as the ele-
ments are made of cast-iron construction.
Do not use covers over the solid disk elements.
An element turned on while the cover is in place can
permanently damage the cooktop. Covers can also
trap moisture which may cause the elements
to rust.
Radiant Module
Cleaning of glass ceramics different from cleaning a
standard porcelain finish.
To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass
ceramic module follow these basic steps.
DALLY CLEANING:
Use only Cook Top Cleaning Creme on Glass
Ceramic.
For normal, light soil:
1. Rub a small amount of Cook Top Creme onto soiled
area using a dr,:/paper towel. Wipe until all soil and
creme are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a
protective coating of silicone which is essential in
preventing scratches and abrasions.
2. Clean surface with Cook Top Cleaning Creme after
each use.
.
3,
For heavy, burned on soil:
1. Apply a few drops of Cook Top Cleaning Creme to
the (cool) soiled area.
Using a dry paper towel, rub creme into the burned
on area.
Carefully scrape remaining soil with razor scraper.
Hold scraper at 30 ° angle against the ceramic sur-
face.
4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above.
For additional protection, after all soil has been
removed, polish the entire surface with the Cook
Top Cleaning Creme.
NOTE:
oUsing a razor scraper will not damage the surface
if the 30 ° angle is maintained. Store the razor scrap-
er out of reach of children.
o Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper. Do not
use a dull or nicked blade.
3O
Special Care:
Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy
syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the sur-
face of your module unless the spill is removed while
still hot, Special care should be taken when removing
hot substances. Follow these instructions carefully
and remove soil while spill is still hot.
1. Turn off all surface units affected by the spillover.
Remove hot utensils.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor _ l,---
scraper at a 30 ° angle to the modute__
and scrape the hot spill to a cool area -'_j-_
outside the surface unit. Be sure to use .._
a new, sharp razor scraper. Do not use /
a dull or nicked blade.
3. With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel
to remove any excess. Any spillover remaining
should be left until the surface of the cooktop has
cooled. Do not continue to use the soiled surface
unit until all of the spiltover has been removed.
Follow the steps under Heavy Soil to continue the
cleaning process.
General Information:
As the Cook Top Cleaning Creme cleans, it
leaves a protective silicone coating on the module sur-
face. This coating helps to prevent build-up of mineral
deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning
easier.
PRECAUTIONS:
o Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and
abrasives which can damage the surface of your
cooktop. Use only the Cook Top Cleaning Creme
for proper cleaning and protection of your glass
ceramic surface.
° If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across the
surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal mark-
ings which appear as scratches. If this should hap-
pen, use the razor scraper and Cleaning Creme to
remove these markings. Failure to remove these
residues immediately may leave permanent marks.
o If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper, or
enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may bond
with the glass ceramic and leave a black discol-
oration. This should be removed immediately before
heating again or the discoloration may be perma-
nent.
- Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film
on the cooktop. Cook Top Cleaning Creme will
remove this discoloration.
o Water stains (calcium deposits) are removable
using Cook Top Cleaning Creme or full strength
white vinegar.
