(if equipped) for storage.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Save these instructions for future reference.
important Safety instructions
• Storage in or on appliance--flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer,
near surface units or in the storage drawer. This
includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as
cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as
flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as
aerosol cans, on or near the range.
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE--children
should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance,
including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer,
warmer drawer or lower double oven.
Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
the range. Children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
• Do not touch surface heating units or surface
cooking elements, areas near these units or
elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both
ii
surface heating and oven heating elements may be
hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface cooking units may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials touch these
ii
areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
ii
Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing
the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven door and oven doorwindow.
ii
• Wear proper apparel--loose-fitting or hanging
ii
garments should never be worn while using the
ii
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not attempt to operate the range during a power
failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range. If the
range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range
will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes,
reset the clock and oven function.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires--smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
Use dry potholders - moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not
let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door or warmer drawer (if equipped)--Stand to the
side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven.
Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace
food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is
located under the left rear surface element if your model
is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located
below the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-
glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in this area when
the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do
not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the
oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of interior oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must
be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover
the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
• Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in
this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

important Safety instructions
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
=Clean in the self=cleaning cycle only the parts listed
in this Use & Care Manual. Before self-cleaning the
oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods
from the oven.
• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners--No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should
be used in or around any part of the oven.
Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and
turn the unit off before removing the pan.
Use proper pan size--This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve
efficiency.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to anotherwell-ventilated room.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
. Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to
the area around each surface element. Do not allow
grease to accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols=Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be
aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently--Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning
hoods.
FOR CERAMIC=GLASS COOK TOP MODELS
Do not cook on broken cook top--If cook top should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Clean cook top with caution--If a wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
• Utensil handles should be turned 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.
• Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn
the fan on.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the
control panel (See Fig. 1 ). When the oven is on, warm air
passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for
proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block the oven vent.

The flat oven rack (some models) or fiat handle oven
rack (some models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 rack position lower than the
flat oven rack. This rack design provides several additional
possible positions between the standard positions.
To maximize oven cooking space always place the bottom
oven rack (some models) in rack position 1 for baking or
roasting large cuts of meat. Do not use the bottom oven
rack in any other oven rack position.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around the pans and
cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the
food.
Baking layer cakes or cookies using 1 or 2
oven racks
For best results when baking cakes or cookies using 2
oven racks, position a Flat Handle Oven Rack in oven
rack position 2 and the Offset Oven Rack in oven rack
position 6 (See Fig. 1).
For best results when baking cakes or cookies using only 1
oven rack, use a Flat Handle Oven Rack and place in
oven rack positions 2, 3 or 4 (See Fig. 2).

Before Setting Surface Controls
Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom, The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum =Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware
resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across
the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which
will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).
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
unless the cookware is coated,
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,
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using proper cookware as
illustrated in Figs, 1 & 2.
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact
with the entire surface heating element (See Fig. 2). Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Fig. 1). For more information about the
ceramic cooktop see "Cooktop cleaning & maintenance" in
the Care & Cleaning section.

Setting Surface Controls
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 the cooktop (See Figs. 1 & 2 ).
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to
the cookware. The type and size and condition of the
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.
Please note that areas surrounding the elements may
become hot enough to cause burns.
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 any remaining
heat to complete the cooking process.
Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element '
to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps
to prevent damage to the ceramic 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.
ii
Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic
glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care &
Cleaning and Before You Call checklist sections of
ii
this Use & Care Manual.
ii
TurboBoil TM (some models)
The TurboBoilTM feature uses a higherwattage surface
radiant element which can bring food items to boil much
quicker or should be used when preparing larger quantities

Radiant element power level display windows
The radiant element power level display feature provides a
digital display for each of the heating positions located on
the cooktop. Power levels are easily controlled and
monitored using the window displays in combination with
the corresponding control touch pads.
The Triple radiant heating element has 3 cooking sizes to
select from. This feature allows you to match the size of
the element to the size of the cookware you are using.
Available power level settings
The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Hi
(Fig. 1) to Lo (Fig. 6) and OFF (Fig. 7).
The settings between 9.5 (Fig. 2) and 3.0 (Fig. 3) decrease
or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The Med (medium)
setting is 5.0. The settings between 2.8 (Figs. 4) and 1.2
(Fig. 5) are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in
increments of .2 to Lo (Fig. 6) for more precise settings at
lower heat levels.

Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
Here are some home canning recommendations:
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see
"Cookware material types" in the Before setting surface
controls section).
• 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.

Conv Bake
Benefits Conv Bake feature
-- Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy.
-- Multiple rack baking.
-- No special pans or bakeware needed.
Cony Bake uses a fan and heating element to circulate the
oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven.
This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking
and browning results. It also gives better baking results
when cooking with multiple racks•
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in
juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.
Layer cakes will have better results using the Bake pad.
Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster
and more evenly with the convect feature•
Suggestions for convection baking
1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
2• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe's
recommended oven temperature. Followthe remainder
of the recipe's instructions using the minimum
recommended cook time.
3• When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in
positions 2 & 5 for best results (Fig• 1)•
To set Conv Bake (convection bake) with a default oven set
temperature of 350°F:
St_.p= Press
1 Press Conv Bake*. c0,,
• Bake
2. Press Start (See Fig. 2).
Fig. 2
* Ifa temperature other than 350°F is needed, use the
numeric keys enter the new temperature after pressing
Bake then press Start•
When using Conv Bake cook time reductions may vary
depending on the amount and type of food being cooked•
The convection fan will begin rotating once Conv
Bake, Conv Roast or Conv Convert has been activated.
Fig. 1
Conv Roast
Meats cooked with Cony Roast feature will be juicer and
poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and
moist on the inside•
Suggestions for convection roasting:
• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods
using Conv Roast.
• Since Conv Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook
time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your
recipe (check food at this time). If necessary,
increase cook time until the desire doneness is
obtained.
• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent
the meat from browning properly•

Roasting Rack instructions (optional accessory)
When preparing meats for Conv Roast, use the broiler pan
and insert (if equipped) along with the roasting rack. The
broiler pan will catch grease spills and the broil pan insert
will help prevent grease splatters. The roasting rack will
allow the heat to circulate around the meat.
Using the Roasting Rack:
1. Place oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom rack
position• See "Arranging Oven Racks" in Before
Setting Oven Controls section.
2• Place the broil pan insert in the broiler pan. The
roasting rack fits on the insert allowing the heated air to
circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to
increase browning on the underside. Make sure the
roasting rack is securely seated on the insert in the
broiler pan. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the
insert. DO NOT cover the insert with aluminum foil.
3. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack (See
Fig. 1).
4• Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.
To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to
prevent grease splattering, DO NOT use the roasting
rackwhen broiling.

Flex Clean
A self-cleaning (Flex Clean)oven cleans itself with high
temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures)
which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.
Your Flex Clean feature allows you to set any amout of
self-clean time from 2 hours to 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning
time is best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light
soils and a 4-hour time option for heavier stubborn soils.
to the following self=clean precautions:
• 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. 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 to the door
gasket (See Fig. 1).
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils
and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. These items cannot
withstand high cleaning temperatures and will
melt.
• Completely remove ALL INTERIOR OVEN RACKS
and ANY ACCESSORIES. if the oven racks are
not removed they will begin to discolor.
Remove any excessive spillovers, Any spills on
the oven bottom should be wiped-up and removed
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. These areas are shown in white (See Fig. 1).

Care & Cleaning
Cooktop maintenance
Cooktop cleaning
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). Buffwith a non-
abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make
cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special
cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the
glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the
cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface.
These marks should be removed immediately after the
cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream.
Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to
future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough or
dirty bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not:
• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom; replace
with clean cookware before using.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in
the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a
pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop, they may cause it to crack.
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are
turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL. The cooktop
may appear to be cool and still be HOT enough to cause
burns.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of the recommended CookTop® Cleaning
Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a
non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad to clean
the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is
cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of the recommended CookTop® Cleaning
c e edi ect, tothesoi,e a e . o thesoi,e a eausino
a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad,
applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use ............
to clean the cooktop for any other purpose. ',i
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 buffsurface clean.

Care & Cleaning
Cooktop cleaning (cont'd)
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled
or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent
damage (such as pitting of the cooktop surface) may occur
if not removed immediately.
After turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade
scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil
from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to
cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on
soils.
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: ................................
Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop
• Aluminum Foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
will damage the ceramic cooktop. Do not use thin
aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to
touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances,
Aluminum utensils -The melting point of aluminum
is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be
taken when aluminum pots or pans are 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 interior oven lights
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.
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, as they may 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.
Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts are COOL
before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-faced glove for
protection against possible broken glass.
The light bulbs are located at the rear of the oven and are
covered with a glass shields held by a wire holder (Fig. 1).
The glass shields must be in place whenever the oven is in
use.
To replace the interior oven light bulb(s):
1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug
the range.
2. Press wire holder to one side to release the glass
shield (Fig. 1).
3. Replace bulb with a new 40 watt appliance bulb.
4. Replace glass shield over bulb and snap wire holder
back into place.
5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug
the range in).
6. The clock will then need to be reset. To reset, see
Setting the clock in this Use & Care Guide.

Read the following recommendations:
1. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are
fully in place.
2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other
object.
3. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may
weaken its structure causing an increased risk of
breakage at a later time.
