Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR 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 USING
YOUR 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 aqualified
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the Governor of California to publish alist of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.

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
sure the diameter of the pan matches the
diameter of the element outline on the cooktop
(See Fig 1).
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.
Ri htfront For efficient cooking, turn offthe element
several minutes before cooking is complete.
This wiltallow residual heat to complete the
cooking process.
Locations of the Radiant Surface
Elements and Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface
burners with 6 different wattage ratings. The
ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes
increases as the element wattage increases.
Figure 2
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop
cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and Before You
Call checklist section of this Use and 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 can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant
element or if the cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 11 for
using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).
The radiant surface elements are located on the
cooktop as follows (See Figure 2); a smaller 6
inch radiant element located at the right rear
position; a dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element
located at the right front position; a Warmer
Zone radiant element at the center rear position
(See page 12); and two 8 inch radiant elements
located at both the left front and rear positions.
Located between left front and rear elements is
a Bridge radiant element.
The BRIDGE radiant element is controlled using
the same knob that controls the left front radiant
element position. See pages 10 and 11 for more
information about using BRIDGE radiant
element.

Available ESEC Display Settings
Surface Cooking Settings
The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature
includes 4 digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides
a numeric digital setting for 4 of the radiant surface element
positions on the cooktop, including shared settings at the left
front knob control position for both the left front radiant
element and the "Bridge" radiant element. Also the right front
control knob position shares settings for the dual radiant
element. These settings work the same way as normal knob
setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in
digital windows (Figures 1 thru 4).
Figure 1 Figure 2
The available ESEC Display Settings
The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2)
to Lo (Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 1). The settings from Hi to 3.0
decrease in increments of .5. The settings from 3.0 to Lo
(Simmer settings) decrease in increments of .2 for more
precise settings of lower heat levels.
Use the chart (Fig. 5) 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.

ESEC Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)
After using any of the single, dual or Bridge radiant element positions the cooktop will
become very hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for
some time. The ESEC control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the
message "HE" (hot element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to touch (See Fig.l). If
the HE message appears in the window, the control can still be turned on again for use.
ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)
An error message will be displayed (flashing "Er') at power up (or after a power failure) if ANY
of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions. If a power failure should occur, be
sure to set all of the 4 surface control knobs to the OFF position (See Fig. 2). This will reset
the surface controls.
Figure 1
Be sure to reset the clock (See page 16). Once the surface controls have been set to the
OFF positions and the clock has been set with the correct time of day, the surface controls
should return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not funcfion and the "Er"
message remains in any display after following these procedures, contact Sears Service for
assistance.
ESEC Lockout Feature ( --)
The self-clean feature will not operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON. The ESEC
feature will not operate during a self-clean cycle or when the Oven Lockout feature is active.
Whenever the ESEC Lockout feature is active, "- -" may appear in any display window (See
Fig. 3). If any of the surface elements are still hot during active Lockout, "HE" wilt appear in .....
the window instead of the "- -" message.
Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right rear (Fig. 5) and left

Surface Cooking
FEATURE OVERVIEW
Usingthe Proper Cookware
Cookware should have flat bottoms
that make good contact with the entire
surface heating element. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 6).Be
sure to follow the recommendations for
using cookware as shown in Fig. 7.
Figure 6
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
Deep fat frying - Use a thermometer and adjust the surface
control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb
the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so
quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to
deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown
nor cook properly.

Controls
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 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 plates, utensils and cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the
WarmerZone.
Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing food from the warmer
zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
Figure 1
To Set the Warmer Zone Control:
1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The temperatures are approximate, and
are designated by HI, MED and LO. However, the control can be set at any position
between HI and LO for different levels of heating.
2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The Warmer Zone Hot Surface indicator light will
remain on until the Warmer Zone cools to amoderate level (See Figs. 1 and 2).
Temperature Selection
Refer to the Warmer Zone table for recommended heating levels (Fig. 3). 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.
The Warmer Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough to
cause burns. Avoid placing hands on or near the Warmer Zone until the Warmer Zone Hot
Surface indicator light is off.

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use
oven mitts when the oven is hot.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located below the
backguard. When the oven is on, hot
air is released through the vents. This
venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking
results.

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 circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.

To Set the Control:
The control is used to select the temperature of the Warmer Drawer. It is
located on the control panel. To set the control, push in and turn the knob to
the desired setting. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by
HI (high), MED (medium) and LO (low).
1. Turn the knob to select the desired temperature setting.
2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer
will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.
3. When done, turn the control to OFF.
Temperature Selection
Recommended Warmer Drawer settings table is shown in Figure 3. If a
particular food is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more crispness is
desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept
at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are
to be kept warm (for instance, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls), use the HI
setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open the Warmer Drawer while in use.
Warmer Drawer Indicator Light
The warmer drawer indicator light is located above the warmer drawer control
knob (See Fig. 2). It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until the
control is turned off. The warmer drawer is inoperable during the self-clean

Setting the Food Categories Features
The MEATS O' CAKES O and BREADS O pads in
the Food Categories feature is 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 alt 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.
INSTRUCTIONS PRESS DISPLAY
To set the Food Categories feature (example for
Meats to cook at 350°F):

Roasting Instructions for Meat Pad
When using the Meat pad for 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 spatters. The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the meat.
To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease
spattering, 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 or 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.

Setting Convection Bake
Benefits of Convection Bake:
--Some foods cook up to 30% faster,
saving time and energy.
--Multiple rack baking.
--No special pans or bakeware needed.
The CONVECTION BAKE _ pad controls the Convection Bake feature.
Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven
can be programmed for Convecfion baking at any temperature between 300 ° F
(149 ° C) to 550 ° F (288 ° C).
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and
continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution
allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking
results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown
more evenly. Most foods cooked in a standard oven will cook faster and more
evenly with Convection Bake.

1. When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal cooking times as shown on page 37. Adjust the cook time for
desired doneness as needed. 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 1,3 and 5 (for 3 racks) and positions 2 and 4 (for 2 racks; See Fig. 2).

FEATURE
OVERVIEW
Preparing for the Self-
Clean Cycle
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.
Figure 1
Preparing for the Self-Clean Cycle:
A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures which eliminate soil completely or
reduce it to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth. These temperatures
are well above normal cooking temperatures.
1. Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:
Allow the oven to cool before pre-cteaning.
Wear rubber gloves when precteaning and while wiping up the residue after the self-
clean cycle.
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.
2. Remove the Searing Grill, Broiler Pan and Broiler Pan Insert, all utensils and any
aluminum foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
DO NOT line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any other part of the range
with aluminum foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results _,,_o
and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior _f>
surface of the oven).
.Oven racks should be removed, or else their finish will dull and their color turn slightly
blue. If they do go through the self-clean cycle, wait until the oven has cooled, then
remove the racks and rub their sides with wax paper or a cloth containing a small
amount of baby or salad oil (this will make the racks glide easier back into their
positions.
4. Remove any excess spitlovers 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 cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
5. 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.
If at any time when setting the oven for the Self-Cleaning feature, the oven control
continuously beeps and the display shows "dr"; close the oven door (See Figure 1).
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven
bottom should be removed. The bake element is designed to be tilted up using
your hand from the front of the bake element (See Fig. 2). This will allow easier
access to the oven bottom for cleaning. Be careful not to raise the element
more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.

Cooktops
Cooktop Cleaning and Maintenance
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme (P/N 22-40079) 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 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.
Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
Before Cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL
_'t,,,,l,_1.'t#ll_[ell 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.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply afew drops of 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 afew drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a 3M Scotch-Bdte®
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.
o
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.
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if
you use any scrub pad other than a 3M Scotch-Bdte@ 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.

Before You Call
Solutions to Common Problems
Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences
that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.
OCCURRENCE
Range is not level.
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place alevel on the oven rack. Adjust
leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is level, cooktop may
appear out of alignment if countertop is not level (See the Range Installation instructions).
Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact a
carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.
Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are
square and have sufficient room for range clearance.
Cannot move appliance easily. Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the problem.
Appliance must be accessible for
service. Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.
Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.
