Your range may be equipped with one or more of
the oven rack types shown; Flat Handle Oven

Offset Rack (Fig. 6). To maximize cooking space
the Offset Rack can be used in the lowest rack

The Flat Half Rack has a removable insert that can provide extra space for larger food items. The right half rack portion
may still be used for other food items like a casserole dish (See Fig. 5). To remove the insert, squeeze on the left front
insert side (See Fig. 7) of the rack and tilt out clockwise. To reinstall insert rear hooks at back of insert (See 1-Fig. 8) and
lay insert down. Make sure both insert front hooks snap into rack (See 2-Fig. 8).
Do not use cookware that extends beyond the edge of the Flat Half Rack. For best results, allow 2 inches between the pan
placed on the rack and oven side or rear walls.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Baking

Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 (Flat Handle Oven Rack) & 5
with the Offset Oven Rack (See Fig. 6). For best results when using a single oven rack, place cookware on rack position 4
(See Fig. 7).

Air Circulation

in the Oven

For best air circulation and 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. The hot air
must be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for
even heat to reach around the food.

General Cooktop Information
About Radiant Surface Elements
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls

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 (See Figs. 1 & 2).
Fig. 1

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. Note: 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 )rovide 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.

Fig. 2

NOTE: 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 can occur if the cookware is too small
for the radiant element or if the pan bottom is not flat. Refer to page 15 for more details about using proper cookware on the
cooktop.

Locations of the Radiant
Surface Elements and
Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant
surface burners the have eight
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
(refer to Fig. 3); a 6 inch radiant
element located at the right rear
position; a 6 / 9 / 12 inch Triple
radiant element located at the right
front position (See page 12); a
Warmer Zone radiant element at
the center rear position (See page
14); and two 8 inch radiant elements
located at both the left front and rear
positions. Located between the left
front and rear elements is a Bridge
radiant element (See page 13).
NOTE: Be sure to read detailed

The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC")feature
provides a digital display of the radiant surface elements on the
cooktop. The ESEC displays in combination with the touch
pads are designed to replace the conventional control knob and
power level tick mark indicators.
In addition your range includes shared radiant element touch
pad settings. The "Bridge" element combinations and Triple
radiant element settings are also shown in the ESEC display
windows.

The available

ESEC Window

Display

Settings

The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Fig.
1) to Lo (Fig. 6) and OFF (Fig. 7) that will display in the ESEC
windows. The settings between 9.0 (Fig. 2) and 3.0 (Fig. 3)
decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings
between 3.0 (Figs. 3 & 4) and 1.0 (Fig. 5) are Simmer settings
which decrease or increase in increments of .2 to Lo ( Fig. 6;
lowest Simmer setting) for more precise settings at lower heat
levels. Use the Recommended Surface Setting Chart (See
page 11, Fig. 1) to determine the correct setting for the kind of
food you are preparing.

Hot Surface

Indicator

Lights

After using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop
will become very hot. After turning any of these elements OFF,
the cooktop will remain HOT for some time. The backguard
control monitors the temperature for 5 positions on the
cooktop. The "Hot Surface" indicator light (Fig. 8) will glow
whenever any of the element positions becomes HOT. The Hot
Surface indicator light will remain ON while hot and turn OFF
once the cooktop has cooled sufficiently (Fig. 9).

ESEC PF message
The ESEC will display the PF message whenever there has been a power interruption to the
appliance. PF will appear in the ESEC display windows as shown in Fig. 11. To clear the PF
message touch any ON/OFF ESEC control pad to reset and be sure to reset the clock with
the correct time of day if necessary. If the PF displays again repeat these steps.

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 aluminum foil or 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.

Setting Warmer Zone Control

Operating

the Warmer (Warm & Ready TM) Zone
The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at
serving temperature. Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot
such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads,
pastries and oven-safe dinner plates. Always start with hot food. It is
not recommended to heat cold food on the Warmer Zone.
All food placed on the Warmer Zone should be covered with a lid to
maintain moisture. For best results when warming pastries or
breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to
escape. Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to cover food.
Plastic or aluminum foil may melt onto the cooktop.
Use only plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and
cooktop use on the Warmer Zone.

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), tf 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 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.

pads in

the Food Categories feature are used when cooking certain food items.
These pads have been designed to give optimum cook performance for the
foods selected in each category.
The MEATS pad combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and element to roast meats and poultry. Preheating is not
necessary for meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Foods are
crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside.
The CAKES pad provides a preheat with a gentle cycling of heat giving cakes more volume and allowing delicate foods to
cook more evenly.
The BREADS pad adds a preheat feature to the bake cycle to thoroughly heat the oven from top to bottom to give more

Rack Instructions

When preparing meats for convection roasting, use the broiler pan and insert along with
the roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert will help prevent
grease splatters. The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the meat.

To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease
splattering, DO NOT use the roasting rack when broiling.
1.
2.

3.
4.

Place oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom rack position. See Arranging Oven
Racks in the Before Setting Oven Controls section.
Place the 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.
Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack (See Fig. 5).

Benefits of Convection

Bake:

--Some foods cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
--Multiple rack baking.
--No special pans or bakeware needed.

Setting

Convection

Bake

The CONV BAKE @

pad controls the Convection Bake feature.

Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The
oven can be programmed for Convection Bake at any temperature
between 325 ° F (163 ° C) to 550 ° F (288 ° C).

Air circulation

of Convection
Fig. 1

Cooking

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven (See Fig. 1 ). This
improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods
cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Multiple oven rack cooking
may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more
evenly.

Tips for Convection

Bake

Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked. Cookies and biscuits should be
baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with
a dark finish will cook faster.

2.
3.

Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.
When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place
the oven racks in positions 2 and 5 (for racks). Place in positions 1,4 and 6 (for 3 racks). Refer to Fig. 1.

The @

the Slow

Cook Feature

SLOW COOK pad is used to activate this feature. The Slow Cook feature may be used to cook foods more

slowly, at lower oven temperatures and provides cooking results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot. The
Slow Cook feature is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow Cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats
becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal.
There are 2 settings available, high (HI) or low (LO). The low setting is best for cooking foods from a 4 to 5 hour time
period. The high setting is best for cooking foods from a 8 to 9 hour time period. The maximum cook time for the Slow Cook
feature is 12 hours unless the oven control has been changed to the Continuous Bake mode.This feature may be used with
the additional settings of a Timed Bake or a Delay Start (Delayed Timed Bake).
Some tips you should review for best possible results using Slow Cook feature:
• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the Slow Cook.
• When using a single rack, place in position 4 or 5.
• Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking utensils when cooking multiple food item.
• 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 extended.
• Cover the foods to keep them 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 & .....
the shape of the roast.
_;_
• Use the recipe's recommended food temperature and a food thermometer to determine when the food is done.
• 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.
See the suggested Slow Cook feature recipes provided in the back of this Use & Care Guide.

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 the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
•
Porcelain Oven racks do not have to be removed. 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.

Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Cooktop

Cleaning

Consistent

& Maintenance

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 (visit www.sears.com for
replacment cleaner) to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or 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. Do not use cookware with dirt or dirt
build up on bottom; replace with clean cookware before using. Do not
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. Do not
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.
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.

Cleaning

Recommendations

for the Ceramic

Glass Cooktop

For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of the cooktop cleaning creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue
Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge 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 3M Scotch-Brite®
Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the sponge 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 buffsurface clean.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use any
scrub pad other than a 3M Scotch-Brite® Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub
Sponge.
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.

door frame (See Fig. 4). The hook of the hinge arms must be fully seated
onto the roller pins.
3. Fully open the oven door (horizontal with floor- See Fig. 1).
4. Push the door hinge locks up towards and into the oven frame on both left
and right oven door hinges (See Fig. 2) to the locked position.
5. Close the oven door.
Door Care Instructions - Most oven doors contain glass that can break.
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.
