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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

+ Know which knob controls each surface burner.

Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

,,Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners.

Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

,, Utensi! Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over

Adjacent Surface Burners--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 burners.

,,Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat

Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

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.

Refer to the range manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always manufacturer's recommended directions follow the for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this

Use & Care Guide.

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.

Care & Seasoning of the Griddle

Before first use:

Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and then dry completely.

Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to the entire surface (front and back of griddle).

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the griddle on the upper rack in your oven.

,, Bake griddle for 1 hour at 350°F, then turn oven OFF and let cool before removing.

,, The surface may appear to have a tacky feel to it from the seasoning process. If desired, wash the griddle in hot soapy water, rinse well, and dry completely.

After each use:

To prevent rusting, store in a dry place and keep uncovered.

After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water only.

,,DO NOT CLEAN GRIDDLE IN DISHWASHER.

Dry Immediately and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to griddle before storing.

Using the Griddle:

Place either side of the griddle centered over the left side gas burners or over the

Bridge Burner (some models). For location refer to Fig. 1.

,, Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during the cooking process.

DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent even heat distribution.

Benefits of Convection Roast:

--Some foods cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.

--Multiple oven rack baking.

--No special pans or bakeware needed.

Setting the Food Categories Features

The CONV ROAST

(,_'s't ), CAKES _

and BREADS items. These pads have been designed to give optimum cook performance for the foods selected in each category.

The CONY ROAST 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 all 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. 5 for foods to cook in each category.


To set the Food Convection Roast feature (example for Meats to cook at 350°F):

Roasting Rack Instructions

When preparing meats for convection 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 splatters. The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the meat.

Fig. 4

To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease splattering, 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. DO NOT cover the insert with aluminum foil.

3.

Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack (See Fig. 4).

Bake at any temperature Air circulation of Convection Cooking

Fig. 1

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven (See Fig. 1). This

improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more evenly.

Tips for Convection Bake

1.

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 2 or 3. If cooking on multiple racks, place ....

the oven racks in positions1 and 4 when using 2 racks. Place oven racks on Roasting Shelf, 3 & 5 positions when using 3 racks (See Fig.1 ).

4.

Cakes will have better results when baked using the (_ keypad.

SLOW COOK pad is used to activate this feature. The Slow Cook feature may be used to cook foods more slowly, at lower oven temperatures and provides cooking results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot. The

Slow Cook feature 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.

There are 2 settings available, high (Hi) or low (Lo). The low setting is best for cooking foods from a 8 to 9 hour time period. The high setting is best for cooking foods from a 4 to 5 hour time period. The maximum cook time for the Slow

Cook feature is 12 hours unless the oven control has been changed to the Continuous Bake mode.This feature may be used with the additional settings of a Cook Time or a Delay Start.

Some tips you should review for best possible results using Slow Cook feature:

• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with the Slow Cook.

• When using a single rack, place in position 1 or 2.

• Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking utensils when cooking multiple food item.

• 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.

• 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 isdone.

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.

Self-Cleaning

* Preparing fora Self-Clean cycle

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-Cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

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).

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.

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.

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 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.

* Porcelain Oven racks do not have to be removed. 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 vegetable oil (this will make the racks glide easier into the rack position).

* 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.

NOTES: Prior to setting the Self-Clean cycle, any spills remaining on the oven bottom should be removed.

See additional cleaning information for the oven door in the General Care &

Cleaning section.

• Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance

• Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance (for models with a Ceramic Glass Cooktop only)

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

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTopO 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, they may cause it to crack.

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.

Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop

(for models with a Ceramic Glass Cooktop only)

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTopO Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch cleaning 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 cleaning 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 cleaning pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically designed for ceramic glass cooktops.

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.

• Cleaning Recommendations for the Ceramic Glass Cooktop (for models with a Ceramic Glass Cooktop only)

• Special Caution for Aluminum Use on the Ceramic Cooktop (for models with a Ceramic Glass Cooktop only)

• Changing Oven Lights

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass cooktop (for models with a

Ceramic Glass Cooktop only):

• 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 Use on the Ceramic Cooktop (for models with a Ceramic Glass Cooktop only)

.

Aluminum Foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop will damage the ceramic cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.

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

Changing Oven Lights

The oven lights automatically turn ON when the door is opened. The oven lights may also be manually operated by pressing the _ pad. The oven light bulbs are located at the rear of the oven and are covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shields must be in place whenever the oven is in use.
