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 & 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 ceramic

• Glass -Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for

ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Important note:

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 & 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.

Cooktop Display Windows

The cooktop controls provide a digital display for each of the

radiant surface elements located on the cooktop. Power levels

and messages are easily monitored and adjusted using the

corresponding control key in combination with the window

displays.

The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Hi to

Lo and OFF (Figure 2). The settings between 9.5 and 3.0

(Figure 3) decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The

settings between 2.8 and 1.2 (Figure 4) are Simmer settings

which decrease or increase in increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo for

more precise settings at lower heat levels.

The HOT ELEMENT indicator will appear in the display

(Figure 5) when any surface cooking element heats up and will

remain on until the cooktop has cooled to a moderate level If

the HE message appears in the display, the control can still be

turned on again for use.

Figure 5: Hot element indicator

Sabbath Feature (Sb) Message

The cooktop display windows will show the -- message

whenever the Sabbath feature is active (Figure 6). The oven

control display will show Sab.

When activated, the Sabbath feature works for the oven only.

whenever the Cooktop Lockout feature is active (Figure 8).

Figure 8: Dashes indicating that cooktop feature is locked

If a triple beep sounds (entry error tone) instead, check and be

sure all surface elements are turned OFF before activating the

Cooktop Lockout feature.

To turn the Cooktop Lockout feature OFF:

Press and hold Cooktop Lockout key until acceptance tone

sounds (about 3 seconds). The cooktop locked indicator light will

turn OFF and the cooktop may be used for normal cooking

operations.

Important notes:

If Cooktop Lockout is active and a power failure occurs, when

power is restored the cooktop will remember the setting and

remain locked.

Starting a Self Clean cycle will automatically turn ON the

Cooktop Lockout feature. The cooktop will remain locked until

the self clean cycle is finished and the oven door has unlocked.

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 & Cleaning

and Before You Call sections of this Use & Care Guide.

Types of 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 warmer 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 or triple (on some models) radiant element 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 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.

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 2 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

Models with Ceramic Glass 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.

Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the

element outline on the cooktop. Heat is transferred up through

the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flat-bottom

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.

Figure 9: Single burners (rear) ,TURBO BOIL FLEX (front L) ,and

triple burner (front R)

Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls

Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with

different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and

in larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.

The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as

follows: (Figure 9)

•Two smaller 7 inch radiant elements and one 6inch element

located in the rear of the cooktop.

• One triple 6, 9, or 12 inch radiant element located at the

right front position.

• One 9 inch TURBO BOIL (FLEX) radiant element located at

the left front position.

Important note: (White glass cooktops only) Due to the high

intensity of heat generated by the surface elements, the glass

surface will turn light green when the element is first turned off.

This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its

original white color after it has completely cooled down.

Important: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass

cooktop cleaning in the _Care and Cleaning" section and

_Solutions to Common Problems" checklist section of this Use

and Care Guide.

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 glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal

and can also occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant

element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.

Use _Suggested settings for various cooking needs" below to

determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are

preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep

larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The

lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting

chocolate or butter.

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.

To operate the single radiant element:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface

element.

2. Press the ON-OFF key and adjust temperatures from Lo to

HI.

3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface element

off before removing the cookware.

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.

Do not straddle cookware over two heating elements. Use

proper size cookware for the radiant cooking area.

Refer to the suggested radiant surface element settings for

suggested power level settings (Table 1). 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.

before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to

complete the cooking process.

The surface controls can be adjusted to provide the exact

amount of heat needed for the cooking process. Each

surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each

setting.

• 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.

Using Turbo BoiITM Flex Element

The Turbo Boil TM (Flex) feature uses a higher wattage surface

radiant element which can bring food items to boil much

quicker. (Figure 13) The left front radiant element will be clearly

marked if this feature is available on your range. If equipped

with the Turbo Boil TM Flex feature, place the cookware on the

left front surface element and follow the instructions "See

"Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements'"' in this section.

Cooktop Lockout

Use the Cooktop Lockout to lock all surface elements from being

accidentally turned ON (including Warmer Zone). This feature

will only lockout the cooktop features.

To turn the Cooktop Lockout feature ON:

1. Be sure all surface element controls are OFF.

2. Press and hold Cooktop Lockout key until acceptance tone

sounds (about 3 seconds).

When the cooktop is locked, the cooktop locked indicator icon

will appear in the oven control display window (Figure 15 ).

Figure 15: Display showing cooktop locked

If a triple beep sounds (entry error tone) instead, check and be

sure all surface elements are turned OFF before activating the

Cooktop Lockout feature.

To turn the Cooktop Lockout feature OFF:

Press and hold Cooktop Lockout key until acceptance tone

sounds (about 3 seconds). The cooktop locked indicator light will

turn OFF and the cooktop may be used for normal cooking

operations.

Important note:

• If Cooktop Lockout is active and a power failure occurs,

when power is restored the cooktop will remember the

setting and remain locked.

Starting a Self Clean cycle will automatically turn ON the

Cooktop Lockout feature. The cooktop will remain locked

until the Self Clean cycle is finished and the oven door has

unlocked.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven vent location

The oven vent is located under the control panel (Figure 16).

When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. Steam

or moisture may appear near the oven vent, this is normal. This

venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and

good baking results. Do not block oven vent:

Figure 16: Oven vent location

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. Remove all racks before using the self clean function.

Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to

line the oven bottom, racks, walls or any part of the oven. Only

use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper

installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or

fire.

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 upward slightly and slide the oven

rack back into place. Be sure oven racks are level.

Types of Oven Racks

Figure 17: Variety of oven racks

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.

The Glide rack (some models) allows you to easily slide

bakeware in and out to check food or to remove or place items

while firmly holding even heavier items in place. The rack is held

in place securely and will not extend beyond the glide stop

position unless it is released manually.

Figure 18:

Figure 19: Pulling Glide rack to stop position

To remove the Glide rack for cleaning or when performing a

self clean cycle.

1. Grasp the locking bar beneath the handle as shown in

Figure 18. Pulling up on this bar unlocks the rack.

2. When the lock is released, pull the rack towards you until it

stops (Figure 19).

3. Grasp the Glide rack on both sides and gently lift it up to

allow the rack to move past the stop position (Figure 20)

and remove the rack. To replace, set the Glide rack into the

desired rack position by using the directions in step 3 in

reverse.

Figure 20: Correct angle for removing or inserting the Glide

rack.

Air circulation in the oven

For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of 2 inches

(5 cm) around the bakeware for proper air circulation. Be sure

pans and bakeware do not touch each other, the oven door,

sides, or back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to

circulate around bakeware for even heat to reach the food.

directions on page 19.

• When baking, allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space

between bakeware for proper air circulation.

Figure 29: Air circulation in the convection function

Because most food items will cook faster and more evenly with

the convection feature, it is advisable to reduce recipe's recom-

mended temperature by 25 ° for best results. Follow the recipe's

instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

Conv Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F

(77°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Benefits of the convection bake feature:

• Foods may cook up to 25% faster, saving time and energy.

• Multiple rack baking.

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 side 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

Setting Oven Controls

Setting Broil

Use the broil function to cook meats that require direct exposure

to radiant heat for optimum browning results. The Broil feature is

factory preset to broil at 550°F. The Broil function temperature

may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and

550°F (288°C).

The suggested broil settings table (Table 3) are recommenda-

tions only. Depending on cooking preferences you can increase

or decrease cooking times or move food to a different rack

position. If the food you are broiling is not listed in the table,

follow the instructions provided in your cookbook and watch the

item closely.

Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door

and turn the oven off. If the fire continues, use a fire extin-

guisher. Do not put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be

explosive.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when

using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior, oven

racks and oven will become very hot which can cause burns.

Important note:

•Always arrange oven racks when oven is cool. Close door

when broiling.

For best results when broiling, use quality broil pan along

with a broil pan insert. A broil pan is designed to drain the

fat from food, helping to reduce smoking and avoid

splatter. Do not use the pan without the insert. Do not cover

the insert with foil - the exposed grease could ignite.

• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop

position before turning or removing food.

To set Broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F:

1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum browning

results, preheat oven for 5minutes before adding food.

Setting Conv Roast

The Conv Roast function combines a cook cycle with the convec-

tion fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using the

Conv Roast function will be juicier and poultry will be crisp on

the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.

Conv Roast may be set for any oven temperature between

170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Conv Roast:

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. If necessary, increase cooking time until the desired

doneness is obtained.

•The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid

will help prevent splatters. The roasting rack will hold the

meat. Use the offset rack on rack position 1.

Setting Slow Cook

The Slow Cook feature cooks foods more slowly and at lower

oven temperatures for longer periods of time. Slow Cook is ideal

for roasting beef, pork and poultry. Slow cooking meats may

result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but will not burn

the outside as it seals in the meat's juices.

Two Slow Cook settings are available, high (Hi) or low (Lo). The

high setting is best for cooking foods between 4 and 5hours.

The low setting is best for cooking foods up to 9hours or longer.

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. Foods that can easily spoil such as

milk, eggs, fish, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refriger-

ator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven

for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be

removed promptly when finished cooking.

Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:

• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.

• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack position

2 or 3. Position racks to accommodate the size of various

bakeware when cooking multiple food items.

• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open

when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the

Slow Cook time may need to be extended.

Cover to keep foods moist or use a loose or vented type

cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.

Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook

times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone,

and the shape of the roast. Preheating the oven will not be

necessary when using the Slow Cook feature.

• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of

cooking.

Important note:

• Slow Cook may be used with additional settings of Cook

Time and Delay Start.

• The maximum cook time for Slow Cook function is 11 hours

and 59 minutes unless the control has been changed to the

continuous bake mode.

To set Slow Cook:

1. Position bakeware in oven and close oven door.

2. Press Slow Cook. HI will appear in the display indicating the

default temperature setting is for high.

3. If a low setting is needed, press Slow Cook again to select

the low setting.

4. Press STARTto activate Slow Cook.

To cancel Slow Cook at any time press sToP.

Meat Probe

When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry, use the

meat probe function to check the internal temperature without

any guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts,

testing the internal temperature is the best method to insure

properly cooked meats.

Important note:

•Use ONLY the meat probe supplied with appliance. Using

any other probe or device may result in damage to

appliance and the meat probe receptacle.

Never leave or store meat probe inside oven.

Handle the meat probe carefully when inserting and

removing from food or probe receptacle. Do not use tongs

to pull on meat probe cable when inserting or removing

from food or receptacle.

Defrost food completely before inserting meat probe to

avoid damaging probe.

• To avoid possibility of burns, after cooking carefully unplug

meat probe using a pot holder to protect hands.

Proper meat probe placement:

Always insert meat probe so that the probe tip rests in the center

of the thickest part of meat. Do not allow meat probe to touch

bone, fat, gristle or cookware.

For bone-in ham or lamb, insert meat probe into the center of

lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or

casseroles, insert meat probe into center of food. When cooking

fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.

For whole poultry or turkey, insert meat probe into the thickest

part of inner thigh, below the leg (Figure 37).

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans with very high temperatures well

above normal cooking temperatures. The high temperature elim-

inates soils completely or reduces them to a fine powdered ash

you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth.

The Self Clean function allows you to set a cleaning time from 2

hours to 4 hours. A 3 hour cleaning time is recommended for

normal cleaning, 2 hours for light cleaning, and 4 hours for

heavy cleaning.

Read before starting Self Clean:

Do not leave small children unattended near

the appliance. During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the

oven can become very hot to touch and can cause burns.

Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the

oven 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 of the

oven.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes

given off during the self cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds

to another well-ventilated room.

Do not force the door open while self clean is

active. This can damage the automatic door locking system. Use

caution when opening the oven door after self cleaning. The

oven may still be very hot and can cause burns. To avoid

possible burns stand to the side of the oven when opening the

oven door to allow hot air or steam to escape.

Important note:

Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from

oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks

are not removed they may discolor.

•Remove all items from the oven including bakeware, utensils

and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand

high temperatures from a self clean cycle and will melt.

• Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or

around any part of the oven interior.

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 (Figure 48). These areas heat sufficiently

to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting

Self Clean.

Do not clean the oven door gasket (Figure 48). 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.

Remove any excessive build up caused by spills. Any spill on

the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before

starting a self clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water

and a cloth. Large spill residue 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.

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.

Visit www.sears.com for replacement cooktop cleaner, item

number 40079. Buff with a nonabrasive cloth or no-scratch

cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from

cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protec-

tive 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.

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.

Figure 51: Do not slide pans

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 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 CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the

soiled area. Rub the soiled area using 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.

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 52: 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 (as illustrated). Allow the

cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned

on soils.

Care and Cleaning

Care and Cleaning (cant)

Do not usethe 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.

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 &

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 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 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 oven light

Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are

cool before replacing oven light.

The interior oven lights are located at the rear of the oven

cavity. (See Figure 53).

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.

2. Replace bulb with a new 25 watt halogen bulb.

3. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug the

appliance back in).

4. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock.

the warmer drawer handle, push (do not force) the warmer

drawer all the way into the outer compartment glide

channels all the way into the range. Open the warmer

drawer again to verify the glides have seated.

4. If you do not hear the levers "click" or the bearing glides do

not feel seated remove the warmer drawer and repeat

Steps 1 through 3 again. This will minimize possible damage

to the bearing glides.
