Before Setting Surface Controls
Using Proper Cookware

Cookware Material Types

The size and type of cookware used will influence the radiant
element power level setting needed for best cooking results.

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat
is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper
cookware shown on this page.

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will
cause it to darken (anodized aluminum cookware resists staining
and 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).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is
durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain heat very
well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not
recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

Figure 2: Check pan for flat bottom using ruler

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary
depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel coating must be
smooth to avoid scratching the ceramic cooktop.
Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic
cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

• Flat bottom and straight
sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
• Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced.
• Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size
of the surface element.
• Made of material that
conducts heat well.
• Easy to clean.
• Always match pot
diameter to element
size.

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 and they may bond
to the ceramic cooktop and will damage the cooktop. Be sure to
follow all the cookware manufacturer’s suggestions when using
any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

• Curved and warped pans.

About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located
below the surface of the glass. The cooktop outlines the area of
the surface element underneath. Be sure to match the pan size
with the diameter of the element outline and use only flatbottomed cookware. 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.

• Cookware larger than
cooking area marked on
cooktop by more than
one-half inch or 12mm.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

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. For efficient cooking, turn off the
element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will
allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.

• Pan is smaller than the
heating area marked on
cooktop.

Before Setting Surface Controls

Types of Cooktop Surface Elements

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.

The ceramic glass cooktop has radiant surface elements located
below the surface of the glass. The patterns on the ceramic glass
will outline the size and type of element available.

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 may damage the ceramic cooktop.

The single radiant element or elements will have one round
outline pattern shown on the cooktop.
The warmer zone feature (on some models), located on the
center rear area of the cooktop, uses one round outline and is
designed to keep food warm only.
A dual radiant element (on some models) allows the user to set
the smaller inner portion as a single element or both inner and
outer portions may be set to heat together.

Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights

Home Canning

Your appliance is equipped with different types of surface
indicator lights that will glow on the control panel. The element
on indicator light will turn on when the surface element is turned
on and will turn off when the surface element is turned off. The
hot surface indicator light will turn on when the glass cooktop is
hot and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled
down to a moderate level. The light may remain on even though
the controls are turned off.

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) website and be sure to read
all the information they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
Tips and procedures for canning foods:
•

Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.

•

Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning
using a ceramic cooktop.

•

Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is
recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric
coil and ceramic glass cooktops. Start with hot tap water to
bring water to boil more quickly.

•

Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.

•

Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different
surface cooking areas at the same time. This will cause
uneven heating results and may cause the ceramic cooktop
to fracture.

Figure 3: Element on and hot surface indicator light
Important notes:
•

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
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.

•

Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the “Care and
Cleaning” and “Before You Call” sections of this Use and
Care Guide.

Important notes:

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 glassporcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make
contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

•

For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.

•

The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly on
a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a guide and
adjust the control knob as needed. Each surface element
provides a constant amount of heat at each setting.

•

Refer to the suggested radiant surface element settings for
suggested power level settings. 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.

•

Do not straddle cookware between two cooking elements
unless the cookware and cooktop is designed for that
purpose, such as bridges and griddles.

Setting Surface Controls

Dual Radiant Surface Element (some models)
Important notes:

Figure 5: Dual radiant element control
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.

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.

•

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting.
This helps prevent damage to the ceramic smoothtop.
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.

•

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.

Important note: Do not straddle cookware between two cooking
elements unless the cookware and cooktop is designed for that
purpose, such as bridges and griddles.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass or
porcelain cookware or any material that can melt to make
contact with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.
To operate the dual radiant element:
1.

•

Place correctly sized cookware on single radiant surface
element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob clockwise to begin
heating both the inner and outer portions of the element. If
only the inner heating portion is needed for smaller
cookware, push in and turn the knob counter-clockwise to
start.
3. When cooking is complete, turn the radiant surface
element off before removing the cookware.

Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location

Types of Oven Racks

The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel
(Figure 6). When the oven is on, warm air passes through this
vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the
oven and good baking results. It is normal for steam or moisture
to appear near the oven vent. Do not block oven vent:

flat handle
oven rack

flat oven rack
offset
oven rack

Figure 6: Oven vent location
bottom oven
rack

Protective Liners: Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom, oven walls or oven racks. Doing so will
alter heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may
cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior,
oven racks and cooktop will become very hot which can cause
burns.

The flat oven rack (some models) or flat handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (on some models) is designed to place the
base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than flat
oven racks. This design allows several additional positions
between the flat rack positions.

Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset oven racks
Important note: Always remove racks before starting a self
clean cycle. Always wear oven mitts when handling racks in a
hot oven.
•

To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven rack
(on some models) in the lowest rack position for roasting large
cuts of meat.

To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.

•

To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both
sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward
slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure
oven racks are level before using the oven.

•

To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the oven).

Air Circulation in the Oven
For best 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. Hot air must be able to circulate around the
cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Should you experience a power failure or interruption, the oven
will shut off. When power is returned, SF (Sabbath Failure) will
be displayed and the oven will not turn back on automatically. If
your food was nearly fully cooked, you may allow the trapped
heat in the oven to finish the cooking process. Otherwise, you
should remove the food when the power failure occurs, because
you may only start the oven once during the Sabbath and Jewish
Holidays.

2. Press Bake. The display will show 350.

3. Press START.

After the Sabbath observance turn off the Sabbath feature.
Press and hold both the Bake Time and Delay Start keys for at

Adjusting Oven Temperature

Restoring Factory Default Settings

The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. Before
adjusting, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. Test
a recipe by using a temperature setting higher or lower than the
recommended temperature. The baking results should help you
to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.

Your appliance is programmed with default control settings.
Over time, users may make changes to these settings. The
following options have settings that can be modified and may
have been changed since the appliance was new:

Important: Do not use thermometers such as those found in
grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside the oven.
These thermometers may display temperatures that vary as
much as 20 to 40 degrees from the actual temperature.
If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for the
temperature you select, you can adjust the actual oven temperature to be 35°F (19°C) more or 35°F less than the default setting
of 0.

Self Cleaning Oven

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with very 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.

During the self cleaning cycle, the outside of the
range can become very hot to the touch. Do not leave small
children unattended near the appliance.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self clean cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.

Adhere to the following cleaning precautions
•

Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

•

Before starting the self clean cycle, hand 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.
These surfaces are not in the self cleaning area. Clean with
soap and water. Burned-on residue can be cleaned off with
a stiff nylon brush and water or nylon scrubber.

•

Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the
oven manually.

•

Do not use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or
around any part of the oven interior.

•

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 all utensils and any aluminum foil. These items
cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.

•

Porcelain coated racks: Some ovens come with lubricated
porcelain oven racks, which can remain in the oven during
the self clean cycle. Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off the racks. It is important that the sides of the oven
racks always have a light coating of vegetable oil. To
maintain optimal rack performance, re-apply a thin layer of
vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every self clean
cycle or when the rack becomes difficult to slide.

•

Chrome oven racks: Some models come with chrome oven
racks, which have to be removed from the oven during the
self clean cycle or else their finish will turn dull and their
color slightly blue. If left in, 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).
Clean chrome oven racks by using a mild cleaner following
manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.

•

Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom or any
other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will
destroy heat distribution, produce poor baking results and cause
permanent damage to the interior. Aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven.
Do not force the oven door open. This can
damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when
opening the door after the self cleaning cycle is completed. To
avoid possible burns when opening oven after a self clean,
stand to the side of the door to allow hot air and steam to
escape. The oven may still be very hot.

Figure 29: Care in cleaning oven by hand
Note: See additional cleaning information for the oven door in
the “Care and Cleaning” section.

Do not allow foods with a high sugar or acid content (milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, pie fillings, etc.) to remain
on surfaces. They may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

Setting Oven Controls

To Start Self Clean

If at this time you wish to delay the self clean starting time,
follow steps 6 through 9:

The Self Clean key controls the self clean feature. If you are
planning to use the oven directly after a self clean cycle
remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven
door to unlock. This normally takes about one hour. A 3 hour self
clean cycle will take about 4 hours to complete. It is recommend
to use a 2 hour self clean cycle for light cleaning, a 3 hour cycle
for average cleaning, 4 hours for a heavy cleaning.
When the self clean cycle is over, stand to the
side of the oven when opening the door to allow hot air or
steam to escape. Do not force the oven door open. This can
damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution and
avoid possible burns when opening the door after the self
cleaning cycle has completed. The oven may still be very hot.

5. Press Delay Start.

6. Enter the start time numbers 4 3 0 and press
DELAY, LOCK, and DOOR will be displayed.

due to excessive smoke or fire in the oven:
1.

4. As soon as the control is set, the motor driven oven door
lock will begin to close automatically. Once the door has
been locked the DOOR LOCKED indicator light will stop
flashing and remain on. Also, the oven icon will appear in

Cooktop Care and Cleaning
Ceramic Cooktop

Be sure to read all information on how to care for your cooktop contained in the “Cooktop
Maintenance” and “Cooktop Cleaning” sections starting on page 26.
Do not use spray oven cleaners on the cooktop. See “Cooktop Maintenance” on page 26.

Cooktop surface burners cleaning

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.

Care and Cleaning

Cooktop Maintenance

Cooktop Cleaning

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your
ceramic glass cooktop.

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.

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 nonabrasive cloth or 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.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the
controls are turned to off and the cooktop is cool. The glass
surface could be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
For light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the
cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive cleaning pad
to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is
cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

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.

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 cleaning
pad applying pressure as needed. Do not use the pad you use to
clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

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.

•

Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom. (Replace
with clean cookware before using.)

•

Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen.

•

Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan.

•

Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass cooktop,
they may cause it to crack.

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.

Figure 31: Using razor blade to remove burned on matter
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 (Figure 31). Allow the cooktop to
cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

Figure 30: Do not slide pans

Care and Cleaning

Care and Cleaning (continued)

Aluminum Foil and Utensils

Do not use the following on the cooktop:

Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a
fire hazard.

•

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.

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.

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.

•

Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can
damage the cooktop. Do not allow aluminum foil to touch
the surface elements under any circumstances.

•

Aluminum cookware and utensils - The melting point of
aluminum is much lower than that of other metals. Care
must be taken when aluminum cookware are used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when
using the cooktop, not only will the utensil be damaged or
destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic
glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

Replacing the Oven Light
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are
cool before replacing oven light.
The interior oven light is located on the left side of the oven
cavity. (See Figure 32).
To replace the oven interior light bulbs:
Important note:
Use a paper towel or cotton glove while handling the new bulb
when installing.

problem listed:
Problem

Solution

Poor baking results

•

Many factors affect baking results. Use proper oven rack position. Center food in the
oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Preheat oven to the set temperature
before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or
baking time. See “Adjusting Oven Temperature” on page 22 if you feel the oven is too
hot or cold.

Oven does not operate

•

The time of day is not set. The oven clock must first be set in order to operate the oven.

•

Be sure oven controls are set properly. See “Minimum and Maximum Control Settings”
on page 13 and review instructions for the desired cooking function in this manual.

•

Service wiring is not complete.

Oven light does not work

•

Be sure the oven light is secure in the socket. See “Replacing the Oven Light” on
page 27.

Flames inside oven or smoking from
oven vent

•

Excessive spills in oven. Grease or food spilled onto oven bottom or oven cavity. Wipe
up excessive spills before starting oven. If flames or excessive smoke are present when
using broil, see “Setting Broil” on page 19.

Self clean does not work

•

Oven control not set properly. Review Self Clean section.

Oven racks discolored or do not
slide easily

•

Oven racks left in oven cavity during self clean. Always remove oven racks from oven
cavity before starting a self clean cycle. Clean using a mild abrasive cleaner following
manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water, dry, and replace in oven.

Oven smokes excessively when
broiling

•

Incorrect setting. Follow broiling instructions in “Setting Broil” on page 19.

•

Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition broil rack to provide proper clearance
between the meat and broil element. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty
edges to prevent curling.

•

Grease build up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling
frequently. Grease or food splatters will cause excessive smoking.

Oven control panel beeps and
displays any F or E code error

•

Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press STOP to clear the error code.
Try bake or broil function. If the F or E code error repeats, turn off power to appliance,
wait 5 minutes and then repower appliance. Set clock with correct time of day. Try bake
or broil function again. If fault recurs, press STOP to clear. Call a service technician.

Soil not completely removed after
self clean

•

Self Clean was interrupted. Review Self Clean instructions.

•

Excessive spills on oven bottom. Clean before starting self clean.
