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.

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 3 (Flat Oven Rack or Flat Handle Oven Rack) & 6 with the Offset Oven Rack (some models; See Fig. 6). For best results when using a single oven rack, place cookware on rack positions 4 or 5 (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. Fig. 6 Fig. 7 Before About Setting the Ceramic Oven Controls Glass (conrd) 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. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop to the cookware. Only flatbottomed 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 EL[MENT ON 0 ,/: 000 0 WARMER 000 0 O ZONE Warmer Zone Surface Control RIGHT Single Surface 000 0 0 REAR RIGHT Radiant Control • :: / TR PLE ELEMENT ON_OF_ 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. FRONT Triple Element Surface Control (some models) For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process. NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning and Before You Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Guide. 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 smooth top. 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. ELEMENT HOTSURFACE ON and Hot Surface Indicator Lights Your range is equipped with two different types of radiant surface control indicator lights that will glow on your range-- the ELEMENT ON indicator light and the Hot Surface indicator lights (See illustration at left). The ELEMENT ON located on the control panel and will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF. OO0 O O RIGHT REAR Rl( The Hot Surface indicator lights located above each surface radiant control knob will glow as the surface cooking area heats up and will REMAIN ON until the glass cooktop has cooled to a MODERATE level, 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 WILL damage the ceramic cooktop. Setting Surface Controls Single Radiant Surface Elements (all models) To Operate a Single Radiant Element: 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element. 2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (See Fig. 1). Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular mark. Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too small for the surface heating area. 3. When cooking is complete, turn the surface element OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The ELEMENT ON indicator light will glow when one or more elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this indicator light when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all control knobs are turned OFF. The Hot Surface indicator light will continue to glow AFTER the control knob is turned to the "OFF" position and will glow until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently. Simmer Select Surface Element (some models) The left front element control may be used as a normal element or as a simmer element. The "Simmer Select" feature heats the element at a much lower temperature than when used as a normal surface element. You may switch between normal cooking and the Simmer Select feature at any time during the cooking process. When using the element control for normal cooking all of the settings on the control knob (LO to HI) function as normal. To 1. 2. 3. Start Simmer Select: Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element. Push in the Simmer button located below the left front control knob. Turn the surface control knob to the desired simmer setting within the dark band on the control knob (LO to 4). Use the marks as a guide and adjust the control knob from LO to 4 as needed (see illustration below).The Simmer Select indicator light will glow and remain ON while simmering (See Fig. 2). 4. To return to normal cooking, push in and release the "Simmer Select" button and the indicator light will turn OFF. When cooking is complete, be sure to set the control knob to the OFF position.

(Warm & Ready TM) Zone (some models) The purpose of the Warmer Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. 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 or aluminum foil to maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the Warmer Zone. 000 0 0 WARMERZONE Fig. 2 Warmer Unlike the surface elements, the Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warm zone as cookware and plates will be hot.

Note: Use the Warmer Zone to keep cooked foods hot such as; vegetables breadsi pastdes and ovemsafe plates: .............................. 10 Surface Cooking Using Turbo Boil TM Element (some models) The Turbo BoilTMfeature uses a higher wattage surface radiant element which can bring food items to boil much quicker. The left front radiant element will be clearly marked if this feature is available on your range (See Fig. 1). If equipped with the Turbo Boil TM feature, place the cookware on the left front surface element and follow the instructions "To Operate a Single Radiant Element" in the Settings Surface Controls section. Using proper 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 above). STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining. CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature recommended for use on ceramic cooktops. cooking will retain heat very is reached. Not PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops. will must GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass. 11 Bo _ v Fig. 1 *CORRECT 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. 3).

For more information about the ceramic cooktop see "Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance" in the General Care & Cleaning section. Fig. 3 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 cookto p. 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. .......

Setting Convection The CONVECTION c.....,o, pad controls the Convection Bake feature. Use the Convection featu re when cooking speed isdesired. The oven can be programmed for Convection Bake at any temperature between 170 ° F (77 ° C) to 550 ° F (288 ° C). Air circulation of Convection Cooking Fig. 1 Convection 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. 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 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. 3. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection. When using Convection with a single rack, place oven rack in position 4 or 5. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2, 4 and 7 (for 3 racks) and positions 3 and 6 (See Fig. 1). 4. Cakes have better results when baked using the BAKE B,ke pad.

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 HI setting is best for cooking foods from a 4 to 5 hour time period. The LOW 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 2 or 3. • 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.

Steel Ceramic Cooktop See "Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance" 33 in this section for complete instructions. General Care & Cleaning • • Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cooktop Cleaning Consistent & Maintenance and pr°per cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface (on the web visit www.sears.com for replacement cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions. Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal 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. 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 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 light to moderate for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop 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. 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. 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. 34 General Care & Cleaning • • • Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop (cont'd) Special Caution for Aluminum Use on the Ceramic Cooktop Removing & Replacing the Lift-Off Oven Door • 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. @_BRAS]VE Special Caution for Aluminum Door Hinge locations with oven door fully Fig. 1 open Use on the Ceramic 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 allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop su rface.
