Cookware Material Types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat
is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will
cause it to darken (anodized aluminum cookware resists staining
and 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).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is
durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow 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 the ceramic cooktop.
Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic
cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
Important: Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-
enamel coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop. The melting
point of cookware made with these materials may be reached
quickly especially if left empty and 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.
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 and 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.
Before Setting Surface Controls
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 may damage the ceramic cooktop.
Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
Your appliance is equipped with different types of surface
indicator lights that will glow on the control panel. The element
on indicator light will turn on when the surface element is turned
on and will turn off when the surface element is turned off. The
hot surface indicator light will turn on when the glass cooktop is
hot and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled
down to a moderate level. The light may remain on even though
the controls are turned off.

Important notes:
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
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.
Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care and
Cleaning and Before You Call sections of this Use and Care
Guide.
Cooktop Surface Elements
The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements located
below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the ceramic glass
will outline the size and type of element available.
The single radiant element or elements will have one round
outline pattern shown on the cooktop. The warm zone feature
(on some models), located on the center rear area of the
cooktop, uses one round outline and is designed to keep food
warm only.
A dual radiant element (on some models) allows the user to set
the smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner and
outer portions may be set to heat together.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) website and be sure to read
all the information they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
Tips and procedures for canning foods:
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning
using a ceramic cooktop.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is
recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric
coil and ceramic glass cooktops. Start with hot tap water to
bring water to boil more quickly.
• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different
surface cooking areas at the same time. This will cause
uneven heating results and may cause the ceramic cooktop
to fracture.
Setting Surface Controls
Setting Surface Controls
Radiant Surface Element Settings
The suggested settings below are based when cooking with
medium-weight aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary
when using other types of pans.
Suggested settings for single and dual (some models) radiant
surface elements:
Settings Type of Cooking
High (HI-9) Start most foods, bring water
to boil, pan broiling
Medium high (7-8) Continue a rapid boil, fry,
deep fat fry
Medium (5-6) Maintain a slow boil, thicken
sauces and gravies, steam
vegetables
Medium-low (2-4) Keep foods cooking, poach,
stew
Low (LO-1) Keep warm, melt, simmer
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 may damage the ceramic cooktop.
Important: Do not straddle cookware between two cooking
elements unless the cookware and cooktop is designed for that
purpose, such as bridges and griddles.

Setting Surface Controls
Important notes:
• For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
• The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on
a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and
adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element
provides a constant amount of heat at each setting.
• Refer to the suggested radiant surface element settings for
suggested power level settings. 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.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop.
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.
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.
The cooktop also has a 9 inch turbo boil element that is useful
when bringing large quantities of water to boiling temperatures.
The TURBO BOIL burner is located on the front left side of the
cooktop.

WARM ZONE (some models)
WARM ZONE
The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot 000
cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the O
warm zone feature to keep cooked foods hot ON/OFF
such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads,
pastries and oven safe dinner plates. It is located in the center
rear of the cooktop and has just one warm setting.
Unlike other radiant surface elements, the
warm zone will not glow red when it is hot. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns can occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
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. Pot holders, 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.
Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for
more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result
in food poisoning or sickness.
Always start with hot food. Do not heat cold food with the warm
zone. All food placed on the warm zone should be covered with
a lid to maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries
or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture
to escape. Use only dish ware, utensils and cookware
recommended for oven and cooktop use on the warm zone.
To operate the warm zone:
1. Press the WARM ZONE ON/OFF key.
2. Press START.
3.
When ready to serve, press WARM ZONE ON/OFF key
and the warm zone message indicator light will turn off. The
warm zone will remain hot until the hot surface indicator
light turns off.
Important notes:
• Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for
oven and ceramic cooktop use. Do not use plastic wrap or
aluminum foil to cover food. Plastic or aluminum foil can
melt onto the cooktop.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel
(Figure 7). When the oven is on, warm air passes through this
vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the
oven and good baking results. Steam or moisture may appear
near the oven vent; this is normal. Do not block oven vent:
Oven Vent
Figure 7: Oven vent location
_'__1 Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior,
oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.
__[I Protective Liners: Do aluminum foil
not use to
line the oven bottom, oven walls or oven racks. Doing so will
alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may
cause permanent damage to the oven interior.
_lOnly use aluminum foil as recommended in this
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock, or fire.
_1 Move and arrange oven racks while the oven is
cool. Always use oven mitts when working with a hot oven to
avoid potential burns.
Types of Oven Racks
flat handle
_ bottom oven
The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (on some models) is designed to place the
base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than flat
oven racks. This design allows several additional positions
between the flat rack positions.
To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack
(on some models) in the lowest rack position for roasting large
cuts of meat.
Important note: Always remove racks before starting a self
clean cycle.
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven racks:
• To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the oven).
• To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both
sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward
slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure
oven racks are level before using the oven.

Setting Bake
Use the bake feature whenever the recipe calls for baking using
normal temperatures. A reminder tone will sound indicating
when the set bake temperature is reached and to place the food
in the oven. During preheat the oven temperature will appear in
the display along with the bake icon. The convection fan will run
to help heat the oven to the set temperature. The fan will turn
off once the set temperature is reached.
Bake may be set for any temperature between 170°F (77°C) to
550°F (288°C).
To set bake for 425°F:
1. Press Bake in upper or lower oven.
2. Enter 4 2 5 using the numeric keypad.
3. Press START.
To cancel bake at any time press _.
For best results:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads.
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware
resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recom-
mended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cokes,
cookies and muffins.
• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will reduce
the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.
Figure 15: Rack positions and pan spacing recommendations
Radiant rack positions:
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
When baking using two oven racks, position bakeware as
shown in Figure 15. Place the top (flat) rack in position 3
and the bottom rack in position 1. Allow at least 2 inches (5
cm) of space between bakeware for proper air circulation
and use the offset rack (if available) in the bottom position.
Setting Convection Bake (upper oven only)
The Convec Bake key controls the convection bake feature. Use
convection bake when cooking speed is desired. The oven can
be programmed for convection baking at any temperature
between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly
and continuously within the oven (Figure 16). This improved heat
distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It
also gives better baking results when using two or three racks at
the same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly.
• When using convection bake, decrease your normal
cooking times. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as
needed.
• Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and
type of food to be cooked. Food baked on pans with a dark
finish will cook faster.
Figure 16: Air circulation during convection cooking
• Preheating is not necessary for casseroles with convection
baking.
• When using convection bake with a single rack, place oven
rack in center of oven. If cooking on multiple racks, place
the oven racks in positions 1and 3.
Figure 17: Suggested rack positions and pan spacing for
convection baking
Convection rack positions:
When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven. When baking using two
oven racks, position bakeware as shown in Figure 17. Place
the top (flat) rack in position 3 and the bottom rack in
position 1. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
bakeware for proper air circulation and use the offset rack
(if available) in the bottom position.

PressQto cancel convection bake at any time.
For best results:
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads. Cookies and biscuits should be baked
on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air
to circulate around the food.
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware
resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are
recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies and muffins.
• Do not open oven door often. Doing so will reduce the
temperature in the oven and may increase cook time.
• When using convection bake with a single rack, place oven
rack in center of oven. (Figure 17) If cooking on multiple
racks, place the oven racks in positions 1 and 3.

Before starting the self clean cycle, hand clean any soil
from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door
gasket, and the small area at the front center of the oven.
These surfaces are not in the self cleaning area. Clean with
soap and water. Burned-on residue can be cleaned off with
a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the
oven manually. Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective
coatings in or around any part of the oven interior.
Do not clean the oven door gasket (See Figure 34 on
page 24). The woven material of the oven door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or remove the gasket. Do not use any cleaning
materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause
damage.
• Remove all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items
cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
Porcelain coated racks: Some ovens come with lubricated
porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during
the self clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrica-
tion off the racks. It is important that the sides of the oven
racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To
maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of
vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self clean
cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.
Chrome oven racks: Some models come with chrome oven
racks, which have to be removed from the oven during the
self clean cycle or else their finish will turn dull and their
color slightly blue. If left in, after the cycle is complete and
the oven has cooled, rub the sides of the oven racks with
wax paper or a cloth containing a small amount of salad oil
to make the racks glide easier into the rack position. Clean
chrome oven racks by using a mild cleaner following manu-
facturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

Self Clean (continued)
During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the
range can become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self clean cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any
other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will
destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven.
Do not force the oven door open. This can
damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when
opening the door after the self cleaning cycle is completed. The
oven may still be very hot.
Figure 34: Care in cleaning oven by hand
Note: See additional cleaning information for the oven door in
the "Care and Cleaning" section.

Cooktop Care and Cleaning
Ceramic Cooktop
Cooktop surface burners
Be sure to read all information on how to care for your cooktop contained in the Cooktop
Maintenance and Cooktop Cleaning sections starting on page 2Z
Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See "Cooktop Maintenance" on page 27.
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health
and can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.
26
Care and Cleaning
Cooktop Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your
ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recom-
mended CookTopO 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 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.
Cooktop care precautions:
• Never slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
• Do not use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;
replace with clean cookware before using.
• Never 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.
• Be careful never to drop heavy or hard objects on the
ceramic glass cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
Cooktop Cleaning
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.
The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically
damage the ceramic-glass surface.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the
controls are turned to off and the cooktop is cool. The glass
surface could be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
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 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 cleaning
pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use
to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
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.
Figure 39: Do not slide pans
Figure 40: Using razor blade to remove burned on matter
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 (Figure 40). Allow the cooktop to
cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.
27
Care and Cleaning
Care and Cleaning (continued)
Do not use the following on the cooktop:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as
metal and some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop,
making it more difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach,
ammonia or oven cleaners that can etch or discolor the
cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they
can leave soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and
cause discoloration.
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.
General Cleaning
Refer to the Cleaning recommendation table in the Care and
Cleaning section for more detailed information about cleaning
specific parts of the range.
Before manually cleaning any part of the range,
be sure all controls are turned off and the range is cool. The
range may be hot and can cause burns.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.
Aluminum Foil, Cookware, and Utensils
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a
fire hazard.
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.
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can
damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking
utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface elements
under any circumstances.
Aluminum cookware and utensils - The melting point of
aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care
must be taken when aluminum cookware is used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when
using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or
destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic
glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.
Replacing the Oven Light
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are
cool before replacing oven light.
The interior oven light is located on the left side of the oven
cavity(Figure 41).
To replace the oven interior light bulbs:
Important note:
Use a paper towel or cotton glove while handling the new bulb
when installing.
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug the
appliance. Carefully remove glass shield.
2.
3.
Replace bulb with a new 40 watt halogen bulb. Replace
glass shield.
Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the
appliance back in). Be sure to reset the time of day on the
clock.
