Important Safety Instructions  
Wear proper apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging  
Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat  
garments should never be worn while using the  
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable  
materials contact hot surfaces.  
settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accu-  
mulations that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry  
may melt.  
Do not use water or flour on grease fires—Smother  
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry  
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.  
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line oven  
bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use  
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a  
cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective  
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric  
shock or fire or short circuit.  
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or  
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.  
Use only dry potholders—Moist or damp potholders  
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do  
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not  
use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.  
Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass,  
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed  
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without break-  
ing due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the  
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.  
Do not heat unopened food containers—Buildup of  
pressure may cause container to burst and result in  
injury.  
Do not use decorative surface element covers. If an  
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover  
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the  
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to  
the cooktop.  
Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is  
to be stored or discarded.  
IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven  
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn  
the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power  
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. (Food left  
unattended could catch fire or spoil.)  
FOR COOKTOPSWITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY  
• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Surface Heating  
Elements. Surface heating elements should never be  
immerse in water. Heating elements clean themselves  
duringnormaloperation.  
• Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place.

wiring or components underneath to damage.  
Electronic controllers can be damaged  
by cold temperatures.When you use your appliance for  
the first time, or if it has not been used for a long  
period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a  
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before  
connecting it to the power supply.  
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY  
Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop—If cooktop  
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may  
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of  
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immedi-  
ately.  
Clean cooktop glass 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 harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING  
YOUR COOKTOP  
Know which knob controls each surface heating  
unit.  
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.The use of undersized utensils will expose  
a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and  
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of  
utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.  
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp  
objects.  
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning  
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well venti-  
lated room.  
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.  
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE  
Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.  
Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the  
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before  
removing and replacing light bulb.  
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 cancer, birth  
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires  
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to  
such substances.  
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN-  
ING YOUR RANGE  
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of  
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation  
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not  
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy  
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop  
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop  
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface of the  
glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element  
underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element  
outline on the cooktop (See Figure 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.  
Figure 1  
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.  
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls  
Your range is equipped with radiant surface burners with different wattage  
ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes increases as  
the element wattage increases.  
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as follows:  
- 2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left rear position;  
- a dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element located at the right front position;  
- a 9 inch radiant element located at the left front position;  
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  
glass cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can also occur if the  
cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not  
flat (Refer to page 10 for using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).  
NOTE: (White glass cooktops only) Due to  
the high intensity of heat generated by the  
surface elements, the glass surface will  
turn green when the element is first turned  
off.This phenomenon is normal and the  
glass will come back to its original white  
color after it has completely cooled down.

The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 3 locations; the right rear, left rear and  
left front (Figure 2) element positions.  
To Operate the Single Surface Elements:  
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  
(Figure 3). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start most cooking  
operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. 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.

The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface element  
located at the right front (See Figure 4) position. “Single and  
Dual” on the control knob are used to indicate which coil of the  
dual radiant element will heat. “Single” indicates that only the  
inner coil will heat (Figures 1 and 2). “Dual” indicates that both  
inner and outer coils will heat (Figures 3 and 4). You may switch  
from either coil setting at any time during cooking.

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 glass cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will  
resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.  
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).  
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.  
CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is  
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.  
PORCELAIN-ENAMEL on METAL - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel  
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.  
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Air Circulation in the Oven  
1 Oven Rack  
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.

Self-Cleaning Oven  
A Self-Cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above cooking  
temperatures) which eliminate soils completely or reduces them to a fine  
powdered ash you can wipe away with a damp cloth.  
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 and cause  
permanent damage to the oven interior  
(aluminum foil will melt to the interior  
surface of the oven).  
Adhere to the following cleaning precautions:  
DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any  
part of the Self-Cleaning oven.  
DO NOT clean the oven door gasket. The woven material of the oven  
door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,  
damage or remove the gasket.  
DO NOT 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. The  
oven may still be VERY HOT.  
DO NOT use any cleaning materials on the oven door gasket. Doing so  
could cause damage.  
Remove the broiler pan and insert, all utensils and any aluminum  
foil. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.  
Oven racks do not have to be removed. If they are not removed during  
the Self-Clean cycle their color will turn slightly blue and the finish will be  
dull. 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).  
DOHAND  
CLEAN  
FRAME  
Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity before starting the  
Self-Cleaning cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large  
spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fire when subjected to high  
temperatures. DO NOT allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content  
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain  
on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.  
Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner outside the oven door  
gasket and the small area at the front center of the oven bottom. These  
areas heat sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean with soap and water.  
NOTE: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven  
bottom should be removed.  
DONOT HAND  
CLEAN SEAL

CLEANDOOR  
What to Expect during Cleaning  
While the oven is in operation, the oven heats to temperatures much higher  
than those used in normal cooking. Sounds of metal expansion and  
contraction are normal. Odor is also normal as the food soil is being removed.  
Smoke may appear through the oven vent.  
Note: See additional cleaning information  
for the oven door in the General Care &  
Cleaning section.  
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may flame and  
cause more smoke and odor than usual. This is normal and safe and should  
not cause alarm. If available, use an exhaust fan during the self-cleaning  
cycle.  
NOTE: A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the smoke into  
a colorless vapor.

Self-CleanTime Length  
For satisfactory results, use a 2 hour Self-Clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average, and a 4 hour cycle for  
heavy soils. NOTE: The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan or exhaust hood  
during the Self-Clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors associated with the Self-Clean cycle.

General Care & Cleaning  
Cleaning Various Parts ofYour Range  
Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is cool. Remove spillovers and  
heavy soiling as soon as possible. Regular cleanings now will reduce the extent and difficulty of major cleaning later.  
Surfaces  
How to Clean  
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.  
Aluminum & Vinyl  
Control Panel and Trim  
Pieces  
Before cleaning the control panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To  
remove, pull each knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a dishcloth.  
Rinse with a clean water and a dishcloth. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth  
before wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or  
around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Be sure to rinse the cleaners as  
bluish stains may occur during heating and cannot de removed. To replace knobs after  
cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.  
Glass, Painted and  
Plastic Body Parts,  
Control Knobs and  
DecorativeTrimPieces  
Using a soft cloth, clean with mild dish detergent and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and  
water. Follow by rinsing the area with clean water; dry and polish with a soft cloth. Glass  
cleaners may be used if sprayed on a soft cloth first. DO NOT spray liquids directly on the  
control pad and display area. Do not use large amounts of water on the control panel - excess  
water on the control area may cause damage to the appliance. Do not use other liquid  
cleaners, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or paper towels - they will damage the finish. To  
remove control knobs, turn to the OFF position; grasp firmly and pull straight off the shaft. To  
replace knobs after cleaning, line up the flat sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push  
the knob into place.

Clean with hot, soapy water and dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and cloth. Do not use  
cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use harsh scrubbing  
cleaners. Only use kitchen cleaners that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel.  
Always be sure to rinse the cleaners off from the surface as bluish stains may occur during  
heating that cannot be removed.  
Gentle scouring with a soapy scouring pad will remove most spots. Rinse with a 1:1 solution  
of clear water and ammonia. If necessary, cover difficult spots with an ammonia-soaked  
paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth, and then scrub  
with a soap-filled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners  
or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating. DO NOT use spray oven  
cleaners on the cooktop.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop Cleaning Instructions  
Donotuseacooktopcleaneronahotcooktop.Thefumescanbehazardoustoyourhealth,andcanchemically  
damage the cooking surface.  
Before cleaning the surface cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool.  
DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners on the exterior surfaces including rangetop and door frame.  
Correct and consistent cleaning is essential to maintaining your porcelain enamel cooktop. If food spills and grease spatters  
are not removed, they may burn onto the surface of the cooktop and cause permanent discoloration.  
DailyCleaning  
For normal soil:  
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.  
2. Wipe off spills and spatters using a clean paper towel or a clean cloth with warm, soapy water.  
3. If needed, use a Blue Multi-Purpose No Scratch Scrub Sponge or other mild household cleaners.  
4. Be sure to rinse off the cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.  
For heavy, burned-on soil:  
1. Allow cooktop surface to cool.  
2. Use a soap filled scouring pad with warm water or cover heavily soiled spots with a solution of clear water and ammonia.  
Scour gently. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth.  
3. If any soil remains, apply a few drops of a recommended cooktop cleaning cream on the spots and rub gently using a clean  
damp cloth or scouring pad. Buff with a dry cloth until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning with the cooktop  
cleaning cream leaves a protective coating which helps in preventing scratches and abrasions.  
Forsugaryspillovers:  
Sugary spills can chemically damage your cooktop surface. Therefore, you must begin cleaning the spills while the cooktop  
is still hot. Use caution when following the steps below.  
1. Turn off all surface units and remove all pans immediately.  
2. Put on an oven mitt, wipe up carefully or move hot spills away from the element area with a clean damp cloth.  
3. Allow the cooktop to cool. Follow the instructions above for heavy, burned-on soil.

To Raise the Top for Cleaning  
1. Grasp the sides and lift from the front. A lift-up rod will support the top in its raised  
position. Only lift the top high enough to allow the support rod to rest in place under the  
front of the cooktop.  
2. Clean underneath using a clean cloth and hot, soapy water.  
3. To lower the top, lift the top slightly and lower the rod. Lower the range top down into the  
range frame.

could damage the surface.  
Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop  
Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance  
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop  
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme 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, because 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.  
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 a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic  
type no-scratch 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 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 scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically  
designed for ceramic glass cooktop.  
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 ele-  
ments OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil from the hot surface (as illus-  
trated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on soils.

General Care & Cleaning (cont’d)  
Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (cont’d)  
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop:  
• 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.  
Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils  
Aluminum foil  
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances.  
Aluminum utensils  
Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots  
or pans are used. Pans that boil dry may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing to, or marking it.  
Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel (Stainless Steel models only)  
Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior parts. Special care and cleaning are required for maintaining  
the appearance of stainless parts. Please refer to the table provided at the beginning of the General Care & Cleaning
