IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

Do not store items of interest to children in

the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of the

range. Children climbing on the range to reach items

could be seriously injured.

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.

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE HEATING

UNITS, OR SURFACE COOKING ELEMENTS, AREAS

NEAR THESE SURFACE HEATING UNITS, OR INTERIOR

SURFACE OF THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven

heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in

color. Areas near surface cooking units may become hot

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,

or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these

areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among

these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top,

the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,

oven door and oven door window.

• Use care when opening oven door, warmer drawer or

lower oven door — 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 below the backguard. 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.

Wear proper apparel — loose-fitting or

hanging garments should never be worn while using the

appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable

materials contact hot surfaces.

• Placement of interior 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

Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS 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 a qualified technician immediately.

• Know which knob or keypad controls each surface

heating unit. Place a pan of food on the surface element

or heating unit before turning it on, and turn the element

or heating unit off before removing the pan.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 cooktop use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the

fan on.

Removing, replacing and arranging oven racks

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 (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 provides several additional

possible positions between the flat rack positions.

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.

To maximize oven cooking space place the bottom oven

rack (on some models) in the lowest rack position for

roasting large cuts of meat. Be sure to remove the bottom

oven rack before activating Flex Clean to prevent it from

being discolored.

Arranging - always arrange

the oven racks when the

oven is cool (prior to

operating the oven).

Air circulation in the oven

To remove - pull the rack

forward until it stops. Lift up

front of rack and slide out.

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 (See Fig. 3 ).

To replace - fit oven rack

onto the rack guides on both

sides of oven walls. Tilt the

front of oven rack upward

and slide the rack back into

place. Be sure oven racks

are level before using.

Surface Cookware Recommendations

Cookware material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly

heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan

bottom. The most popular materials available are:

Using proper cookware

The size and type of

cookware used will

influence the radiant

element power level setting

needed for best cooking

results. Be sure to follow

the recommendations for

using proper cookware as

illustrated in both

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food

will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware

resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the

ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will

resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May

leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).

Figs. 1 & 2.

Fig. 1

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of

the cookware (See Fig. 1). Cookware should have flat

bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface

heating element (See Fig. 2). For more detailed information

about the ceramic cooktop see Cooktop maintenance and

Cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning section.

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. Do not slide on cooktop. Cast iron cookware can

easily scratch the ceramic cooktop.

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.

• 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.

• Curved and warped pans.

Important note:

Do not place empty aluminum, glass or porcelain-enamel

coated cookware on the ceramic cooktop! The melting

point of cookware made with these materials may be

reached quickly especially if left empty & they may bond

to the ceramic cooktop. If the cookware melts it will

damage the cooktop! Be sure to follow all the cookware

manufacturer’s suggestions when using any type of

cookware on the ceramic cooktop.

• Cookware larger than

cooking area marked on

cooktop by more than

one-half inch or 12mm.

• Heavy handle tilts pan.

• Always match pot

diameter to element

size.

• Pan is smaller than the

heating area marked on

cooktop.

Before Setting Surface Controls

The ceramic glass cooktop

The element graphics of the ceramic cooktop outlines the

area of the surface element underneath the cooktop (See

Figs. 1 & 2 ).

Turbo Boil

The Turbo Boil feature (some models) offers a higher

wattage surface radiant element. Turbo Boil will bring

food items to boil much quicker and may be used when

preparing larger quantities of food. The cooktop graphics

will be clearly marked if this feature is available on your

cooktop (Fig. 3).

Fig. 2

Fig. 1

Fig. 3

Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop

to the cookware. The type and size and condition of the

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.

Please note that areas surrounding the elements may

become hot enough to cause burns.

Cooktop Lockout

Use the Cooktop Lockout to lock all surface elements from

being accidentally turned ON (including Warmer Zone).

This feature will only lockout the cooktop features.

To turn the Cooktop Lockout feature ON:

1. Be sure all surface element controls are OFF.

2. Press and hold Cooktop Lockout keypad until

acceptance tone sounds (about 3 seconds).

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.

When the cooktop is locked, the cooktop locked

indicator icon will appear in the oven control display

window (Fig. 4 ).

For efficient cooking, turn off the radiant elements several

minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow any

remaining heat to complete the cooking process.

Important notes:

Fig. 4

• 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 cooktop. 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.

If a triple beep sounds (entry error tone) instead, check

and be sure all surface elements are turned OFF before

activating the Cooktop Lockout feature.

To turn the Cooktop Lockout feature OFF:

Press and hold Cooktop Lockout keypad until acceptance

tone sounds (about 3 seconds). The cooktop locked

indicator light will turn OFF and the cooktop may be used

for normal cooking operations.

• Pressing a cooktop keypad only activates or deactivates

the element but will not start the heating process.

Activating and powering any surface cooking element

requires pressing two keys - the

keypad first and

Important notes:

then a power level section must be added before the

element will begin heating.

• If Cooktop Lockout is active and a power failure occurs,

when power is restored the cooktop will remember the

setting and remain locked.

• Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass

cooktop cleaning in the Care & Cleaning and Before You

Call checklist sections of this Use & Care Guide.

• Starting a Flex Clean cycle will automatically turn ON

the Cooktop Lockout feature. The cooktop will remain

locked until the Flex Clean cycle is finished and the oven

door has unlocked.

Sabbath feature (Sb) message

Cooktop display windows

The cooktop display windows will show the Sb message

whenever the Sabbath feature is active (Fig. 9). When

activated, the Sabbath feature works for both the oven and

cooktop together.

The cooktop controls provide a digital display for each of

the surface elements located on the cooktop. Power levels

and messages are easily monitored and adjusted using the

corresponding control keypads in combination with the

window displays.

Once the Sabbath feature is active, changes to the heat

levels for the cooktop heating elements will not show in the

displays. The cooktop will react slower to heat level

changes. See Sabbath feature section for complete

instructions.

Available power level settings

The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from

Hi (Fig. 1) to Lo (Fig. 5) and OFF (Fig. 6). The settings

between 9.5 (Fig. 2) and 3.0 (Fig. 3) decrease or increase

in .5 increments. A medium setting is 5.0. The settings

between 3.0 (Figs. 3) and 1.2 (Fig. 4) are Simmer settings

which decrease or increase in increments of .2 to Lo for

more precise settings at lower heat levels.

heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI

setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic

cooktop. 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.

Conv Bake

Benefits of the convection bake feature

— Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and

energy.

— Multiple rack baking.

— No special pans or bakeware needed.

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat

uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved

heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning

results.

some

models

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in

juices and flavors.

Fig. 1

Most foods will cook faster and more evenly with the

convection feature.

Important notes:

Conv Bake may be set for any oven temperature between

170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).

• The convection fan will begin rotating once Conv Bake,

Conv Roast or Conv Convert has been activated.

Suggestions for Convection baking:

• If the oven door is opened when any convection function

is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the

oven door is closed.

• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s

recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder

of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum

recommended cook time.

• When using Conv Bake cook time reductions may vary

depending on the amount and type of food being

cooked.

• For best results when using a single oven rack, place rack

in position 4 or 5 (See Fig. 1). When using 2 oven racks,

place in positions 2 & 5. When using 3 oven racks place

in positions 2, 4, & 7 (use offset rack only in position 7).

• Layer cakes will have better results using the Cake

function.

Conv Roast

Conv Convert

The Conv Roast function combines a cook cycle with the

convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked

with Conv Roast function will be juicer and poultry will be

crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the

inside.

The Conv Convert function makes it easy to convert any

baking recipe and include the convection feature. The oven

control uses the normal recipe settings and adjusts to a

lower temperature for convection baking.

When Conv Convert is used with a Delay Start setting, the

Conv Convert function will display a CF (See Fig. 1) as a

reminder to “check food” when the bake time is 75%

complete. At this time the oven control will sound 1 long

beep at regular intervals until the set cook time has

finished.

Conv Roast may be set for any oven temperature between

170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Conv Roast:

• Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using

Conv Roast.

• Since Conv Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook time

by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe

(check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook

time until the desired doneness is obtained.

Cakes Breads

Meat probe

The Cakes Breads functions are designed to give optimum

baking performance for Cakes or Breads. These functions

work well for baking cakes, brownies, pies (fresh or frozen),

baked custards, cheesecakes, breads, rolls, biscuits, muffins

and cornbread.

When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry, use

the meat probe function to check the internal temperature

without any guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry

and roasts, testing the internal temperature is the best

method to insure properly cooked meats.

The Cakes function provides a preheat with a gentle

cycling of heat giving cakes more volume and allowing

delicate foods to cook more evenly.

Important notes:

• Use ONLY the meat probe supplied with appliance. Using

any other probe or device may result in damage to

appliance and the meat probe receptacle.

The Breads function adds a special preheat feature to the

bake cycle that thoroughly heats the oven from top to

bottom to give more evenly browned foods.

• Never leave or store meat probe inside oven.

• Handle the meat probe carefully when inserting and

removing from food or probe receptacle. Do not use

tongs to pull on meat probe cable when inserting or

removing from food or receptacle.

Setting Oven Controls

Setting Slow Cook

The Slow Cook function may be used to cook foods more

slowly and at lower oven temperatures. Slow Cook provides

cooking results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or

Crock-Pot.

FOOD POISONING HAZARD. Do not let

food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods

that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or

poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even

when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more

than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed

promptly when finished cooking.

Slow Cook is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow

cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats

becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal.

For Slow Cook two settings are available, high (Hi) or low

(Lo). The high setting is best for cooking foods from a 4 to

5 hour time period. The low setting is best for cooking

foods from a 8 to 9 hour time period.

Example — To set Slow Cook:

1. Position cookware in oven and close oven door.

2. Press Slow Cook keypad. Hi will appear in the display

indicating the default temperature setting is for high.

3. If a low setting is needed, press Slow Cook keypad

again to select the low setting.

Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:

• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with

the Slow Cook.

4. Press

to activate Slow Cook.

• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack

position 2 or 3.

To cancel Slow Cook at anytime press

Important notes:

• Slow Cook may be used with additional settings of Cook

Time and Delay Start.

• Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking

utensils when cooking multiple food items.

• Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open

when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the

Slow Cook time may need to extended.

• The maximum cook time for the Slow Cook is 11 hours

and 59 minutes unless the control has been changed to

the continuous Bake mode.

• Cover the foods to keep them moist or use a loose or

vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.

• Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur.

Cook times will vary; depending on the weight, fat

content, bone & the shape of the roast.

• Use the recipe’s recommended food temperature and a

food thermometer to determine when the food is done.

• Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the

Slow Cook feature.

• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of

cooking.

Proof Bread

Warmer drawer humidity controller

This feature may be used to control humidity levels in the

warmer drawer. The humidity control knob is located on

the inside front panel of the warmer drawer.

The warmer drawer has a Proof Bread feature that may be

used to prepare bread dough. The recommended length of

time to keep the bread dough in the warmer drawer is

about 45-60 minutes. Be sure however to follow the recipe’s

recommended times.

To help keep foods moist, move the handle to the right. This

closes the vents and helps keep the moisture inside the

warmer drawer. For crisp foods, move the handle to the

left. This opens the vents and allows more of the moisture

to escape.

Since the bread dough will nearly double in volume be sure

to place the prepared dough in a large bowl. Arrange the

warmer drawer rack in the downward position (See Fig. 1)

and place the bowl with dough on the warmer drawer

rack.

For dry heat: Slide the humidity control knob in the

Flex Clean

A self-cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures

that are well above normal cooking temperatures. The high

cleaning temperature eliminates soils completely or reduces

them to a fine powdered ash you can wipe away

afterwards with a damp cloth.

• Remove any excessive spillovers. Any spills on the oven

bottom should be wiped-up and removed before starting

a self-clean 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.

The Flex Clean function allows you to set any amount of

cleaning time from 2 hours to 4 hours. A 3-hour cleaning

time is best used for normal cleaning; 2-hour time for light

soils and a 4-hour clean time for heavier stubborn soils.

• DO NOT clean the oven door gasket (See Fig. 1). 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

to the door gasket.

Read before starting Flex Clean

Be sure to read all the following caution and important

statements BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle:

DO NOT leave small children unattended

near the appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the

outside of the range can become very hot to touch and can

cause burns.

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 of the oven.

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.

DO NOT force the oven door open. This can

damage the automatic door locking system.

Use caution when opening the oven door

after self-cleaning. The oven may still be VERY HOT and

can cause burns. To avoid possible burns stand to the side

of the oven when opening the oven door to allow hot air or

steam to escape.

Fig. 1

Setting Flex Clean

Important notes:

Example — To set Flex Clean to start immediately:

• Completely remove all items and accessories from oven

cavity to avoid damage. Porcelain coated heavy duty

oven racks may be left in oven. The bottom oven rack is

not porcelain and should be removed to prevent

discoloration.

1. Be sure to remove ALL items from oven except porcelain

coated heavy duty oven racks. Remove all items from

the cooktop. Be sure oven door is completely closed.

2. Press Flex Clean keypad for a default 3-hour clean

time. After pressing Flex Clean you may accept the

default 3-hour clean time by going to step 3.

• Remove ALL items from the cooktop including cookware,

utensils and ANY ALUMINUM FOIL. Aluminum foil will

not withstand high temperatures from a self-clean cycle

and can melt.

At this time you may choose a different clean time. The

amount of clean time must be within 2 to 4 hours and

entered using the numeric keys pads. For example enter

2 0 0 for a 2-hour time or enter 4 0 0 for a 4-hour self-

clean time. You may choose a 2 hour 15 minute clean

time by entering 2 1 5 (hours and minutes).

• DO NOT use oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in

or around any part of the oven interior.

• 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 (See Fig. 1). These areas heat

sufficiently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water

prior to starting Flex Clean (See Fig. 1).

Care & 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 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.

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 nonabrasive

plastic type no-scratch 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 nonabrasive

plastic type no-scratch cleaning pad, applying pressure as

needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop

for any other purpose.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough

bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface.

Do not:

• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on bottom;

replace with clean cookware before using.

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.

• 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.

• Slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.

30°

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.

Care & Cleaning

Cooktop cleaning (cont’d)

Aluminum foil and utensils

Do not use the following on the 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.

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.

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:

Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop can

damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking

utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the surface

elements under ANY circumstances.

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.

Replacing oven lights

Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts

are COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-

faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.

Replacing the oven interior light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug

the appliance.

2. Remove interior oven light shield (See Fig. 1).

3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type 40 Watt halogen

appliance bulb. Do not allow your fingers to touch the

halogen bulb when replacing. This will shorten the life of

the new bulb. Use a paper towel to cover the new bulb

when installing.

4. Replace glass interior oven light shield.

5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug

the appliance back in).
