IMPORTANTSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • KEEP THIS book for later use. • NEVER USE your appliance for warming or heating the room. • NEVER TRY to repair or replace any part of the appliance unless instructions are given in this manual. All other work should be done by a qualified technician. • ALWAYS KEEP combustible wall coverings, curtains, dishcloths, towels, potholders, and other linens a safe distance from the appliance. • NEVER HEAT unopened food containers. Pressure buildup can cause the container to burst and cause injury. • NEVER LEAVE containers of fat or drippings in your oven. • ALWAYS KEEP the oven and surface unitareas free from things that will burn. Food, wooden utensils, and grease buildup could catch fire. Plastic utensils could melt and canned foods could explode. Your appliance should never be used as a storage area. • ALWAYS KEEP your appliance clear of things that will burn (gasoline and other flammable vapors or liquids). • NEVER TRY to clean a hot surface Some cleaners produce noxious fumes, and wet cloths or sponges could cause steam burns _ ARNING! To prevent accidental tipping of the range fTomabnormal use, includingexcessive loadingof the oven door, attach the range to the wall or floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied. If the range is moved for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the Anti-Tip device is re-engaged properlywhen the range is slid back in the opening. Failure to do so could resultin the range tipping andmay cause personal injury. To inspect the Anti-Tip device, remove the storage drawer and look to see if the rear leg leveler fully engages the slot in the bracket. k Important: To ensure safety for yourself, family, and home, please read your Owner's Manual carefully. Keep it handy for reference, Pay close attention to Safety Sections. BE SURE your appliance is installed and grounded by a qualified technician. • DO NOT leave children alone or unattended near an appliance in use. • NEVER WEAR loose-fitting clothing when using yourappliance. • NEVER USE a towel or other bulky cloth as a potholder. Make sure the potholder is dry. Moist potholders and wet cloths or sponges could cause steam burns. DO NOT let petholders touch hot heating elements. • TEACH CHILDREN not to play with controls or any part of the appliance, and notto sit, climb or stand on the door, or any other part of the appliance. • CAUTION: NEVER STORE items of interest to children on the backguard or in cabinets above the appliance. Children climbing on the appliance could be seriously injured. 5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • NEVER LEAVE cooking zones unattended at high settings. Boilovers result in smoking or greasy spills which could catch fire. • DO NOT touch cooking zones, surfaces near them, or interior oven surfaces. These may be hot enough to cause burns even though they are dark in color, During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or flammable material contact the zones or hot surfaces until they have had time to cool. Other surfaces near the oven vent openings, oven door and window, and cooktop surfaces may also be hot enough to cause burns. • NEVER cook on a broken cocktop; cleaning solutions and spillage could penetrate it and create the risk of electrical shock or fire. Contact a qualified technician for repairs. • ALWAYS TURN utensil handles inward and away from other cooking zones to reduce the risk of burns, ignition, unintended contact, and spillage, • WHEN PREPARING flaming foods under the vent hood, turn the fan on, • ONLY certain kinds of glass or ceramic cookware can be used for cooktop cooking. Make sure the cookware you choose to use is designed for cooktop cooking without breaking due to the sudden temperature change. • ALWAYS USE care when touching cooking zones. They will retain heat after the range has been turned off. • NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent behind the right rear cooktop cooking zone. • COOKWARE USED for cooktop cooking should be flat on the bottom and large enough to cover the heating zone being used. Undersized utensils expose the heating zone and may result in direct contact or ignition of clothing. The proper size utensil will also improve efficiency. • PLACE OVEN RACKS in the desired position while the oven is cool. If racks must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the hot oven element. • AFTER BROILING, always take the broiler pan and grid out of the oven and clean them. Leftover grease in the broiler pan could catch fire the next time you use your oven. • ALWAYS USE care when opening the oven door. Let hot air and steam escape before moving foods. • NEVER USE aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper use of foil could start a fire, or electrical shock could result. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the selfcleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room. • CLEAN ONLY the parts listed in this manual. Follow all cleaning instructions. Be sure to remove broiler pan and grid before the self-clean cycle. • NEVER RUB, move, clean, or damage the door gasket on self-cleaning ranges. It is essential for a good seal. • NEVER TRY to clean utensils, cookware, removable parts, or broiler pan and grid in the self-clean cycle. • DO NOT USE oven cleaners No commercial oven cleaner or protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. • IF THE SELF-CLEANING mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician. READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS INFORMATION NOW =. Be sure everyone in your home knows what to do in case of fire. Never use water on a grease fire; it will only spread the flames. COOKTOP GREASE FIRE: Never pick up a flaming pan... 1. Turn off the surface elements. 2. Smother the flame with a tightly fitting lid, use baking soda, or use a dry chemical, foam, or halon-type extinguisher. OVEN FIRE: Do not try to move the pan; 1. Close the oven door and turn controls off. 2. If fire continues, carefully open the door, throw baking soda on the fire, or use a dry chemical, foam, or halon-type extinguisher. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE! The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn their customers of potential exposure to such substances. The fiberglass insulation in a self-cleaning oven will give off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open door or window or using a ventilation fan or hood. 7 OPERATION Protecting the Cooktop • DO NOT slide cookware across your cooktop. • DO NOT use a dishtowel or sponge to clean or wipe your cooktop. • DO NOT use scouring powders or plastic, nylon, or metal cleaning pads on your cooktop. • DO NOT apply your cooktop cleaning creme to the cooktop surface if the surface is hot. • READ the instruction label on the cooktop cleaning creme bottle before attempting to clean the surface of your cooktop. • AFTER cleaning the cooktop surface, be sure to wipe off any residue that may be left from the creme with a dry paper towel. • FOR MAJOR spills, turn the surface control knob to OFF. Use a dry paper towel to wipe up spill, then use a razor scraper (held with a potholder) at a 45° angle against the surface of the cooktop to scrape remaining spill from the hot cooking zone. • DO NOT cook directly on the surface of the glass. • DO NOT use the cook'top as a cutting board. • DO NOT use a knife or any sharp object on the cooktop seal around the outer edge of the glass because it will cut or damage it. _ AUTION: When the surface controls are turned off, the Hot Surface Indicator light will remain lit until the cooktop surface has cooled to approximately 1500F. The glass ceramic surface will retain heat after the indicator light goes out. Use caution until the cooktop surface has had time to cool. Sugar spills (such as jellies, fudge, candy syrups) or melted plastic can cause pitting of the cooktop surface unless the spill is removed while it is still hot. Special care should be taken when removing hot substances. Follow these instructions carefully and remove soil while spill is hot. 1. Turn off the cooking zone affected by the spill. Remove the utensils. 2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper at a 45° angle against the cooktop and scrape hot spill to a cool area outside the cooking zone. 3. With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to remove the spillover. Any spill remaining should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled. Do not continue to use the soiled cooking zone until all of the spill has been removed. Follow the steps under Heavy Soil to continue the cleaning process.

This should be done before the range is turned on for the first time. The tape cannot be removed once the range has heated. Packaging tape may be found in the following areas: Cooktop Surface, Control Panel Area, Door Handle, Door Trim, and Oven Area. 9 OPERATION Cook"top Cooking Before using your new radiant cooktop, clean it with the Cooktop Cleaning Creme ®. This will leave a protective coating. Use pans and woks that are flat on the bottom. The size of the pan should be the same size as the zone used when cooking. The cooking zones are shown by the outline on the glass. The sign above each control knob shows you which radiant zone is turned on by that knob, Fan f _, _ Zone Pansshouldbe fiat on bottom. Wok Cooking We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. CooklngZones 00 O0 Left Rear O0 O0 O0 O0 Left Right Front Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous. Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a buildup of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok is tipped over. Front A Hot Cooktop Indicator Light will glow when any radiant element is turned on, and will remain on until the surface has cooled to approximately 150°F, Use only fiat-boftomed woks. /O OPERATION Radiant Cooktop Cooking (contJ 1. Be sure the canner is centered over the zones. 2. Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom. 3. Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball®and Kerr_, or the Department of Agriculture Extension Service. 4, Use caution, while canning, to prevent burns from steam or heat. If you don't know if your cookware is flat on the bottom, try this test. Turn your pan upside down on the countertop, and place the edge of a ruler flat against the surface of the pan. Rotate the ruler in a full circle, checking as you turn for any space between the two surfaces. The bottom of the pan and the edge of the ruler should fit flush against each other all the way across. Stainless Steel: Highly recommended for use with your new cooktop. Especially good with a clad bottom. Aluminum: Heavyweight aluminum cookware recommended. Cast Iron: Cast-iron cookware that is completely covered with porcelain enamel is recommended. Cast iron that is not covered with porcelain enamel may scratch the glass ceramic surface of the cooktop. Copper Bottom: Has good performance, but it can leave a residue on the cooktop surface if allowed to boil dry. Glass-Ceramic or Stoneware: Usable. Check for rough edges or burrs, which may scratch the cocktop surface. When the knobs are turned on, coils beneath the glass radiate heat through the glass to the cooking utensil. It will take a few moments for the coils to heat; as they do, a red glow can be seen below the surface of the cooktop. 11 OPERATION RadiantCooktopCooking (cont.) Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter. The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot. The temperature limiter may cycle the units off for a time if: HI For quick starts, such as bringing water to a boil. MED For slow boil and sauteing. LO For steaming foods or keeping cooked foods at serving temperature. 1. Push in to turn the knob. • The pan boils dry. • The pan bottom is not fiat. • The pan is off center. • There is no pan on the unit. 2. Set on or _F between marks for _o desired heat. y_.)

BAKING SHELF POSITION CHART TYPE OF FOOD Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) Angel food cake, bundt or pound cakes Biscuits, muffins, brownies, cookies, cupcakes, layer cakes, pies Casseroles Turkey or Roast SHELF POSITION 4 3 or 4 3 or 4 3 or 4 1 16 OPERATION OvenCookingTips Opening the door often to check foods will cause heat loss and poor baking results. It is normal to have some odor when using your oven for the first time. To help eliminate this odor, ventilate the room by opening a window or using a vent hood. IMPORTANT: Never cover the oven bottom or oven rack with aluminum foil. improper use can cause poor heat flow, poor baking results, and may damage the oven finish. To prevent staining from epillovere, you may place a piece of aluminum foil or a cookie sheet on the rack below the food which may spill over. Preheating is bringing the temperature up to the temperature you will be using during baking. Let the oven preheat thoroughly when recipes call for preheating. To prolong the life of your oven light bulb, follow this helpful tip: Always turn the light off when the oven is not in use or during a clean cycle. If your oven light is left on for an extended period of time, the oven will be warm when the door is opened due to the heat generated from the oven light bulb. Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat by weight--the federal requirement for products labeled "margarine"). You will get poor results if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies, or candies are made with low-fat spreads. Low-fat spreads contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of favorite baked recipes. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become, To ensure best results, use margarine, butter, or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil. The oven vent is located behind the right rear cooking zone. This area could become hot during oven use. It is normal for steam to come out of the vent and/or collect moisture underneath when oven is in use. The vent is important for proper air circulation. Never block this venL OVe n Vent n 17 OPERATION OvenCookingTips(cont.) Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1 to 1V2"of air space around it. If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack 2 and two layers on rack 4. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other. FLAT COOKIE SHEETS, without sides, allow air to circulate all around the cookies for even browning. The Oven Temperature Sensor continuously senses and controls the temperature inside the oven. To keep a constant set temperature, the elements will cycle (turn on and off during cooking). The oven racks are designed with stops, a convenience as well as a safety precaution. The guides have a bump to prevent the racks from tilting when they are pulled out of the oven. This design allows the racks to be inserted in only one way. Your oven has six (6) rack positions. The top position is only a guide. It cannot be used as a rack position. Guides 2 1 SHINY PANS reflect heat and are perfect for cakes and quick breads that need a light brown crust. GLASS, DARK NON-STICK, OR DARKENED-BY-AGE BAKEWARE absorbs heat and can be used for yeast breads, pie crust, or foods that need a brown crust. The oven temperature should be reduced by 25°F. 2 t Always place oven racks in the proper position while oven is cool. CAUTION: Whenyou are using the rack in the lowestposition (1), youwill need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two potholders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand inthe middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when 18 using a rack in the lowest position (1). OPERATION OvenConkingTips(cont.) The Indicator Lights: • PREHEATED indicator light- turns on and stays on when oven has reached selected temperature. • OVEN ON indicator light-turns on and stays on when a Bake, Broil, or Clean function has been chosen. You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than the oven it replaced. We recommend that you use your new over a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide. ]f you feel your oven is too hot or too cool for your cooking preference, see Do-It-Yourself Adjustment in the back of this manual to make the adjustment. • CLEAN indicator light- turns on and stays on for self-clean. If the CLEAN indicator light flashes, you should check for one of the following: 1. The latch handle is locked during a baking function. 2. The latch handle is not locked during a self-clean function. NOTE: On some models the Oven Control Knob must be pushed in before turning, Your oven control has a selector knob for setting Bake, Broil, or Clean. Simply turn the knob to the bake temperature setting you want to use or to BROIL or CLEAN. OFF 19 OPERATION Broiling Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the upper element. The oven door should remain opened to the broil stop position during broiling. It is not necessary to preheat the oven when broiling. Use the broiler pan and grid that came with your range. Both are designed for proper drainage of fat and liquids. If foil is used, it must be molded tightly to the grid and slits cut into the foil to match those of the grid. This allows fats and liquids to drain into the broiler pan, preventing fire and excessive smoke. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends to cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against food-borne illness, The closer you place foods to the broil element, the faster foods brown on the outside yet remain red to pink in the center. Moving meats away from the element will allow the meat to cook to the center while browning on the outside. Using this positioning, cook side 1 at least 2 minutes longer than side 2. If your oven is connected to 208 volts, you may want to use a higher rack position and/or broil foods longer. The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your preference of the aloneness of the meat will affect broiling. The chart on the next page is based on meats at refrigerator temperature. 1. Set the OVEN CONTROL KNOB to BROIL. 2. When broiling is finished, turn the OVEN CONTROL KNOB to the OFF position.

We recommend that you use your new oven a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide. 1. Press and hold, atthe same time, the HOUR UP and DOWN arrow pads until the display shows a two-digit number. 2. Press the HOUR UP arrow pad to increase the temperature, up to +35°F hotter, or Press the HOUR DOWN arrow pad to decrease the temperature, down to -35°F cooler. If you think your new oven is too hot (burning foods) or not hot enough (foods are undercooked), you can adjust the temperature yourself. The appearance and texture of foods is a better indicator of oven accuracy than an oven thermometer. These thermometers can vary by 20_,0 degrees from the true temperature of the oven. In addition, the oven door must be opened to read these thermometers. Opening the door will change the temperature of the oven. To decide how much to change the temperature, set the oven temperature 25 degrees higher (if foods are undercooked) or 25 degrees lower (if foods are burning) than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of this "test" should give you an idea of how much the temperature should be changed. 3. When this adjustment has been made, the display will return to the time of day. This adjustment will remain in memory until these steps are repeated and a new temperature is selected, It will remain in memory even after a power failure. This adjustment will not affect the Broil or Clean temperatures. 34 NOTES 35 NOTES 36 NOTES 37 RADIANTFREE-STANDING RANGE WARRANTY FULLONE-YEAR WARRANTY ONALLPARTS If,withinoneyearfromthedateof installation, anypartfailstofunctionproperlyduetoa defectin materialor workmanship, Searswill repairor replaceit, atouroption,freeolcharge.
