DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEARTHESE ©_"_¢_
UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTSORINTERIORSURFACES _
OF THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During
and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or otherflammable
materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing
the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven door and window.

Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR
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 flat
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.
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.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USINGYOUR
OVEN
• Use Care When Opening 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 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.
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.
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.
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 underneath 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 manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
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.

General Cooktop Information
About Radiant Surface Elements
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls
...........% I
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).
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. 1
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).

ESEC Lockout Feature (- -)
The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)
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 Lockout Feature ( - - )
The ESEC feature will not operate during a Self-Clean cycle orwhen the Oven Lockout
feature is active. Whenever the ESEC Lockout feature is active, "- - "will appear in any
display window (See Fig. 10. Also refer to the Oven Lockout instructions on page 21 ).
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.

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.
Warmer Zone Temperature Selection
Refer to the Warmer Zone table for recommended heating levels
(Fig. 1). If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium level,
and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at serving
temperatures by using the medium level.

Surface Cooking
Using Proper Cookware
Cookwa re Material Types
Using proper cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results. 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).
Be sure to follow the I_"_.

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), 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.

The Warmer Drawer has a "Proof Bread" feature that can be used
to help prepare bread dough. The recommended length of time to
keep the bread dough in the Warmer Drawer is about 45-60
minutes. Be sure however to follow the recipe's recommended
times.
The prepared bread dough should be placed in a large bowl
because the dough will nearly double in volume. Arrange the
Warmer Drawer Rack in the downward position (See Fig. 6).
Place the bowl on the rack in the Warmer Drawer and follow the

The Broil feature is preset to start broiling at 550°F however, the Broil feature temperature may be set at any temperature
between 400°F and 550°F.
The broil pan and broil pan insert used together allows dripping grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the
oven broiler. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert (See Fig. 6). DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with
aluminum foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.
Should an oven fire occur, leave the oven door closed and turn the oven OFF. If the fire continues, throw
baking soda on the fire or use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive and water
can cause a grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.

Setting the Food Categories Features
The MEATS @, CAKES _ and BREADS @ 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
evenly browned foods. Refer to Fig. 4 for foods to cook in each category.

Roasting 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. Place oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom rack position. See Arranging Oven
Racks in the Before Setting Oven Controls section.
2. 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.
3. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack (See Fig. 5).
4. Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.

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.
Air circulation of Convection Cooking
Fig. 1
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).
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
1. 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. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.
3. 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.
4. Cakes have better results when baked using the CAKE _ pad in the Food Categories pad.

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.

General Care & Cleaning
Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
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 (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.
