IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
, Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce the risk
of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without break-
ing due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
Do not use decorative surface element covers, if an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to
the cooktop.
FOR COOKTOPSWITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY
Do Not immerse or Soak Removable Surface Heating
Elements. Surface heating elements should never be
immerse in water. Heating elements clean themselves
during normal operation.
Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place.
Absen ce ofthese pans or bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immedi-
ately.
Clean cooktop glass 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 harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN

Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)
Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (cont'd)
Operating the Dual Surface Radiant Element
The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface element
located at the right front (See Figure 4) position. "Single and
Duar' on the control knob are used to indicate which coil of the
dual radiant element will heat. "Single" indicates that only the
inner coil will heat (Figures 1 and 2). "Duar' indicates that both
inner and outer coils will heat (Figures 3 and 4). You may switch
from either coil setting at any time during cooking.
Figure 1 Figure 3
3.
, i X
i i
Figure 2 Figure 4
To Operate the Dual Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See
Figure 1)for smaller cookware or clockwise (See Figure 3) for
larger cookware.
Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most cooking
operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to
finish cooking. 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 istoo small for the surface heating area.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The Surface
Indicator light will come on when the control knob is turned on 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.
Note: See page 9, Figure 1 for recommended control settings.
Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware
Cookware should have flat bottoms that
make good contact with the entire surface
heating element. Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Figure 5). Be sure to
follow the recommendations for using
cookware as shown in Figure 6.
Note: The size and type of cookware
used will influence the setting needed
for best cooking results.

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 glass 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.

and good baking results. DO
NOT block the vent(s). Doing so
may cause cooking failures, fire
or damage to the appliance.
Oven Vent Location =Models with

Self-Cleaning
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.
Adhere to the following cleaning 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 all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures.
• Oven racks do not have to be removed. If they are not removed during
the Self-Clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be
due If left in, after the cycle is complete and the oven has cooled, rub
the sides of the oven racks with wax paper or a cloth containing a small
amount of salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack
position).
• 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.
What to Expect during Cleaning
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher
than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and
contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed.
Smoke may appear through the oven vent.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and
cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should
not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning
cycle.
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the smoke into
a colorless vapor.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop Cleaning instructions
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on ahot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically
damage the cooking surface.
Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool.
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces including rangetop and door frame.
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food spills and grease spatters
are not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.
Daily Cleaning
For normal soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water.
3. If needed, use a Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge or other mild household cleaners.
4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
For heavy, burned-on soil:
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.
2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and ammonia.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop
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
t _ "narKings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after
me COOKIOphas cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become
eermanent if not removed prior to future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or scratch
rne COOKrOpsurface. 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 direct y on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard
objects on the glass cooktop, because they may cause it to crack.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
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
chemicall dama e the ceramic lass surface.
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 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 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.
iMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an
abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically
designed for ceramic glass cooktop.
/
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 ifnot removed immediately. After turning the surface ele-
ments OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illus-
trated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.
