important Safety instructions
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USINGYOUR
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 isequipped with one or more surface
units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also
improve efficiency.
. UtensiJ HandJes Should BeTurned inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Elements--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the
handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface units.
. Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings--
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan
that has boiled dry may melt.
. Do Not immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--Heating
elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean
themselves during normal operation.
. GJazed Cooking UtensiJs--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.

position).
2. Turn the Oven Control counterclockwise to Broil. Most foods can be broiled at the Broil setting. To sear rare steaks,
allow the element to become red-hot--about 2 minutes--before placing food in the oven.
3. Place the insert on the broiler pan, then place the food on the insert (some models). DO NOT use the broiler pan without
the insert or cover the insert with aluminum foil. The exposed fat could ignite.
4. Place the pan on the oven rack. Leave the door open at the broil stop position while broiling, The door will stay in
this position without closing.
5. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve. Note: Always pull the rack
out to the stop position before turning or removing food.
6. When broiling is finished, turn the Oven Control to OFF.
Should an oven fire occur,
close the oven door 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.
The broiler pan and the insert allows
grease to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler. DO NOT use
the pan without the insert (some models).

For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils
and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil
for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive
cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs,
turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace
knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft then
push the knob into place.
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the
control knobs. To remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot,
soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water using a dishcloth. Be sure
to squeeze excess water from the cloth before wiping the panel; especially when
wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause
damage to the appliance.To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides
of both the knob and the shaft then push the knob into place.
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. DO NOT use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop.
Remove oven racks and clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following
manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Rub the sides of the racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of
baby oil or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack positions).
To clean oven door, wash with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth. DO NOT
immerse the door in water.
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket.The oven door gasket is made of a silicone
rubber material on non self-cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal.
Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove the gasket.
General Care & Cleaning
Surface Elements and Drip Bowls - Surface elements can be unplugged and removed to make cleaning the drip
pans easier. The surface elements clean themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot element will burn off.
Food spilled on a cool element may be cleaned with a damp cloth--any remaining soil will burn off the next time the element
is used.
_Be sure the range is cool
before removing elements or drip bowls.
Be careful not to bend terminal ends

range top, grasp the sides with finger-tips
only. Be careful not to pinch fingers. DO
NOT drop or bend the range top when
raising or lowering. This could damage
the surface.
Never immerse a surface element in water.
To Remove the Surface Elements and Drip Bowls
1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal end. Lift the surface
element and drip bowl together just enough to clear the cooktop.
2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element, gently pull the terminal end
out from the terminal plug. If equipped, DO NOT remove the hold down clip
from the drip bowl.
To Clean Drip Bowls
Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry while still warm.
Hard to remove, burned on soil can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for
about 20 minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution of ammonia and
water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water). A nylon scrubber may be used after
soaking. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as they will scratch the
surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.
To Replace Drip Bowls and Surface Elements
1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the opening in the drip bowl.
2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside the drip bowl. If your drip
bowl is equipped with a hold down clip, align the element support opposite
the terminal end with the slot in the hold down clip, and snap into place.
3. After the element is positioned in the drip bowl, line up the terminal end with
the terminal plug as shown.
4. Hold the surface element and drip bowl together as level as possible and firmly
push the terminal end into the terminal plug. Make sure element terminal is
seated properly into terminal plug. Make sure the surface element is level to
reduce the hazard of pans sliding off the element.
To Raise the Top for Cleaning
1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front. Lift-up rods will support the top in a
raised position. Only lift the top far enough to allow the support rods to snap

be required.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides (Do
not use the oven door handle - See Fig. 3).

hook of the hinge arms must be fully seated onto the roller
pins.

Solutions to Common Problems
Before you carl for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that
are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.
OCCURRENCE
Range is not level.
Cannot move appliance easily.
Appliance must be accessible for
service.
Surface element too hot or not hot
enough.
Surface element does not heat.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
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.
Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range.
If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets are
square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make
appliance accessible.
Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over
carpet.
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface
element to be used.
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- and medium-weight
pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
No power to the appliance. Check steps under"Entire Appliance Does Not Operate"
in this Before You Call Checklist.
Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface
element to be used.
Entire appliance does not operate.
Element not making contact in block. Follow instructions under "Surface Elements
and Drip Bowls" in the Care & Cleaning section.

Solutions to Common Problems
OCCURRENCE
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Drip bowls are pitting or rusting.
Drip bowls turning color or distorted.
Poor baking results.
Flames inside oven or smoking from
vent.
Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause
corrosion. Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spillover
Normal environment. Houses along sea coast are exposed to salt air. Protect
bowls as much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.
Bottom surface of cookware extends beyond surface elements and touches
cooktop surface. This can cause high enough temperatures to discolor the drip
bowls. DO NOT use cookware of this type. Pan sizes should be matched to the
size of the element. Replacement bowls may be purchased from your Sears
Service Center,
Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper rack position is used.
Center food in the oven and 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.
Your oven will most likely smoke after a spillover has occurred ... this is normal,
especially for high oven temperatures, pie spillovers or large amounts of grease
on bottom of oven. Wipe up excessive spillovers immediately.
