Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a diff erent electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
power stage of cooking cycle. See Multiple Stage Cooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and fl akes easily with a fork.
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
When using the microwave oven at power levels below
100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off . It is normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will infl uence the amount of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
All microwave ovens are rated by using the IEC Test
Procedure at 1200 watts. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time setting elapses and add time accordingly.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small fl at pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
• Use standing time. Always allow food to stand in or out of the oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after defrosting or cooking allows the temperature to evenly spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results.
For inside oven standing time, you can program a “0”
ABOUT FOODS
• Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury.
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
• Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a minute or two may cause damage to the microwave oven and could start a fi re. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the microwave oven.
• Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid off . Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula or breast milk. The container may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always test the milk before feeding the baby.
• Spontaneous boiling—Under certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the container from the microwave oven, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the microwave oven has shut off . Do not boil liquids in narrownecked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine fl asks and especially narrow necked coff ee cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or overfl ow.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles
(especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.
• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fi re, causing damage to your microwave oven.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 170°F Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

Microwave Oven Important Information
(continued)
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram ®
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex ®
• microwave-safe plastics
• paper plates
), such as Corningware ®
)
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow manufacturer’s directions.)
These items can be used for short time reheating of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:
• wood, straw, wicker thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Sears is not responsible for any damage to the microwave oven when accessories are used.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy.
DO NOT USE
• metal pans and bakeware
• dishes with metallic trim
• non-heat-resistant glass
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
• recycled paper products
• brown paper bags
• food storage bags
• metal twist-ties
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the microwave oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.
ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United
States Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.
160°F For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fi sh, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
165°F For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out “fresh” food.
170°F White meat of poultry.
175°F Dark meat of poultry.
THE FOLLOWING COVERINGS ARE IDEAL:
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
• Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.
HOW TO USE ALUMINUM FOIL IN YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN:
• Small fl at pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of the microwave oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the microwave oven while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fi res.
• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.

MEAT PROBE
Checking the internal temperature of your food is the most eff ective way of ensuring that your food has been properly cooked. When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry you can use the probe to check the internal temperature without any guesswork.
Your oven will automatically change from cooking to keep warm once the probe has reached the set temperature.
The following temperature settings apply to the probe function:
• Default: 170°F / 76°C
• Minimum: 130°F / 54°C
• Maximum: 210°F / 99°C
Proper probe placement
• Always insert the probe so that the tip rests in the center of the thickest part of the meat. Do not allow the probe to touch bone, fat, gristle or the pan.
• For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the probe into the center of the food. To fi nd the center of the food visually measure with the probe -Fig. 3-. When cooking fi sh, insert the probe just above the gill.
• For whole poultry or turkey, insert the probe into the thickest part of the inner thigh, below the leg -Fig. 1-.
See the example below to set the probe target temperature to 180°F/82°C when using the convection roast feature with oven set temperature for 325°F/162°C.
1. Insert the probe into the food and place the food into the oven -Fig. 1-.
2. Plug the probe COMPLETELY into the probe receptacle inside the oven -Fig. 2- and close the oven door.
3. Press CONV ROAST
4. Enter 325
5. Press START
6. Press MEAT PROBE
7. Enter 180
8. Press START
At this time, the actual meat probe temperature will be displayed.
* You may skip step 7 if you choose to use the default internal target temperature of 170°F for the probe.
By the default, your oven will adjust to the Warm & Hold setting once the probe has reached the set temperature.
IMPORTANT
• Use only the probe supplied with your appliance; any other may result in damage to the probe or the appliance.
• Be sure the probe is fully inserted into the probe receptacle. The probe will not work properly until correctly connected.
• Handle the probe carefully when inserting and removing it from the food and the receptacle.
• Do not use tongs to pull the cable when inserting or removing it from the food or the receptacle.
• Defrost your food completely before inserting the probe to avoid damaging probe.
• Never leave or store the probe inside the oven when not in use.
• To prevent the possibility of burns, carefully unplug the probe using a pot holder.
Fig. 1
NOTE
• When the meat probe is connected to the receptacle and a cooking function is started, the display will show the current temperature reported by the meat probe.
• Any time during the cooking process you may press MEAT
PROBE to modify the target temperature.

SABBATH MODE
This appliance provides special settings for use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. This mode will turn off all audible tones or visual display changes normally provided by the oven control. BAKE is the only cooking features available while in the Sabbath mode.
SETTING SABBATH MODE
The example below shows setting the oven to observe the
Sabbath (and Jewish holidays).
1. Press BAKE.
You must fi rst set the BAKE feature and temperature(s) needed for the lower oven, the COOK TIME option if needed before setting the Sabbath mode. Any settings made prior to setting the Sabbath mode will be visible in the displays.
The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 Hour
Energy Saving mode and the appliance will stay on until the cooking features are cancelled. If any of the cooking features are cancelled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the cancellation.
If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned ON and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned off and the oven lights are turned off . The oven door will not activate the oven interior lights when the oven door is opened or closed.
It is recommended that any oven temperature modifi cation made within an active Sabbath mode be followed with 2 presses of the START key. This will ensure the oven remains
ON even if an attempt is made to set the oven temperature outside of its temperature range. If the oven temperature is set outside of the temperature range, the oven will default to the nearest available temperature. Try to set the desired oven temperature again.
Should a power failure or interruption occur during the
Sabbath/Holidays, the appliance will shut OFF. When power is restored the appliance will not turn back on automatically to the original BAKE feature settings. SF will appear in all the control display panels indicating a
Sabbath mode failure. After a power failure, the food may be safely removed from the oven while still in the Sabbath mode.

Lower Oven Self-Cleaning Cycle
BEFORE STARTING SELF-CLEAN
A self-cleaning oven automatically cleans with high temperatures that are well above those used for normal cooking. The self-clean feature eliminates soils completely or reduces them to a fi ne powdered ash that you can later easily wipe away with a damp cloth.
WARNING
During the self-clean cycle, the outside of the appliance can become very hot to the touch. DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance.
Adhere to the following precautions when running the selfclean cycle:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning any exterior parts of the oven manually.
• Do not use oven cleaners or protective coatings in or around 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.
-Fig. 1-
• Do not use any cleaning materials on the door gasket.
Leaving chemical residue can damage the door gasket.
• Do not force the oven door open. The automatic door locking system can be damaged.
• Remove all utensils and any aluminum foil from the
oven. These items cannot withstand high cleaning temperatures.
• This oven comes 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 diffi cult to slide.
• Remove any excessive spillovers in the oven cavity
before starting a self-clean cycle. To clean, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spillovers can cause heavy smoke or fi re when subjected to high temperatures.
• 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 with soap and water. These areas heat suffi ciently to burn soil on.
• Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie fi lling) to remain on the porcelain surface, they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.
CAUTION
• DO NOT line the oven walls, oven racks, bottom or any other part of the appliance with aluminum foil. Doing so will stop 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-clean cycle is fi nished. The oven may still be VERY HOT.
• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any appliance. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.

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.
If heavy spillovers are not wiped up before cleaning, they may fl ame 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.
35
Lower Oven Self-Cleaning Cycle
SELF-CLEAN CYCLE
The FLEX CLEAN pad controls the Self-Cleaning feature.
When used with a Delay Start pad, a delayed Self-Cleaning cycle may also be programmed. The Flex Clean feature allows for any Self-Cleaning cycle time from 2 (2:00) to 4 hours (4:00). You may also choose the clean time in 1 minute increments (for example 2 hours and 50 minutes) by pressing the corresponding number keypads.
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.
So a 3 hour self-clean cycle will actually take about 4 hours to complete.
*It is recommend to use a 2 hour self-clean cycle for light soils, a 3 hour cycle for average soils, and a 4 hour cycle for heavy
soils (to assure satisfactory results).
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.
See example below to start an immediate Self-Cleaning cycle or to set a Delay Start time of 9:00 o’clock and shutoff automatically (example provided is a default 3 hour
Self-Clean cycle)
1. Be sure the clock is set with the correct time of day, the oven is EMPTY and the oven door is closed.
CAUTION
• To avoid possible burns use care when opening the oven door after the Self-Cleaning cycle. 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.
When the Self-Clean Cycle is Completed
Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 HOUR, and the “DOOR LOCKED” icon is no longer displayed, the oven door can then be opened.
Stopping or Interrupting a Self-Cleaning Cycle
If it becomes necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to excessive smoke or fi re in the oven:
1. Press STOP.
2. Once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1
HOUR, and the “DOOR LOCKED” icon is no longer displayed, the oven door can then be opened.
NOTE (30” model only)
A smoke eliminator in the oven vent converts most of the smoke into a colorless vapor.
The control will automatically clean for a 3 hour period
(default self-cleaning cycle time). Note: If a 2 or 4 hour clean time is desired, press 2 0 0 for 2 hour or press 4 0
0 for a 4 hour clean time. Set the cleaning time based on the amount of soil: light, medium or heavy (*See above).
IMPORTANT
If a self-clean cycle was started but did not fi nish due to a power failure, your oven may not be completely cleaned.
After power has been restored and the oven door has unlocked, set for another self-clean if needed.
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 fl ashing and remain on.
Note: Allow about 15 seconds for the oven door lock to close.
Note: If the optional delay Self-Clean feature is needed, fi nish steps 4-6.
5. Enter the desired Self-Clean starting time using the number pads 9 0 0.
The control will calculate forward from the set start time to determine when the Self-Cleaning cycle should end.
The Self-Cleaning cycle will turn on automatically at the set time.

Microwave General Care & Cleaning
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.
Exterior
Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.
Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
Touch Control Panel
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel.
If the control panel becomes soiled, open the Microwave
Oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR
HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. The rack can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed and dried. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY
ONTO ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
Turntable/Turntable Support/Racks
The turntable, turntable support and racks can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and a non-abrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use top rack of dishwasher for turntable support.
Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons, will cause the porcelain enamel turntable to discolor. Do not cook highly acidic foods directly on the turntable; if spills occur, wipe up immediately.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should not be allowed to stand in this area.
37
Lower Oven General Care & Cleaning
Before cleaning any part of the oven, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the oven is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS AND
HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS NOW WILL REDUCE THE EXTENT AND DIFFICULTY OF
MAJOR CLEANING LATER.

Cleaning Recommendation
Use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Dry with a clean cloth.
For general cleaning, use hot, soapy water and a cloth. For more diffi cult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for
30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch. To remove control knobs, turn to the
OFF position; grasp fi rmly and pull straight off the shaft. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the fl at sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
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 clean water using 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. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the fl at sides of both the knob and the shaft; then push the knob into place.
Stainless Steel (some models). Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. 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 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 diffi cult 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-fi lled scouring pad. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or the porcelain may become damaged during future heating.
This oven comes 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 diffi cult to slide.
For some models with chrome oven racks, clean by using a mild, abrasive cleaner following manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Use soap & water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door.
Rinse well. You may use a glass cleaner on the outside glass of the oven door. Do
not immerse the door in water. Do not spray or allow water or the glass cleaner
to enter the door vents. Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or any harsh abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven door.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket is made of a woven material, on Self-Cleaning models, which is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or remove this gasket.

Solutions to Common Problems
OCCURRENCE
Self-cleaning cycle does not work
Flames inside oven or smoking from oven vent
Lower Oven
Soil not completely removed after self-cleaning cycle is completed
Oven smokes excessively during broiling
Oven control panel beeps & displays any F code error (for example F10)
Poor baking results
POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Make sure the oven door is closed.
• Make sure you have removed the oven racks and the oven rack supports from the oven.
• Controls not set properly. Follow instructions under “Dual Convection Lower
Oven Self-Cleaning Cycle”.
• Excessive spillovers in oven. For example this will happen for pie spillovers or large amounts of grease left on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If fl ames or excessive smoke are present see “Broil” in the
Lower Oven Operating Instructions section.
• Failure to clean bottom, from top of oven, frame of oven or door area outside oven seal. These areas are not in the self-cleaning area, but get hot enough to burn on residue. Clean these areas before the self-cleaning cycle is started.
Burned on residue can be cleaned with a stiff nylon brush and water or a nylon scrubber. Be careful not to damage the oven gasket.
• Excessive spillovers in oven. Set the self-clean cycle for longer cleaning time.
• Control not set properly. Follow broiling instructions under Lower Oven
Operating Instructions.
• Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the broil rack to provide proper clearance between the meat & the element. Preheat the broil element for searing.
• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent curling, but do not cut into lean.
• Insert on broiler pan wrong side up & grease not draining. Always place grid on the broiler pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan

• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently. Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
• Oven control has detected a fault or error condition. Press STOP to clear the display & stop beeping. Try the bake or broil feature again. If the F code error repeats, remove power supply to appliance, wait 5 minutes and then repower the appliance and set clock for the time of day. Try the bake or broil feature again. If the fault recurs, record fault and call for service.
• Many factors aff ect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature before placing food in the oven.
Try adjusting the recipe’s recommended temperature or baking time. If you feel the oven is too hot or cool, see “Adjusting Oven Temperature” in the User
Preferences section of this Use & Care Guide.

PROTECTION AGREEMENTS
Master Protection Agreements Acuerdos maestros de protección
Congratulations on making a smart purchase. Your new
Kenmore ® product is designed and manufactured for years of dependable operation. But like all products, it may require preventive maintenance or repair from time to time. That’s when having a Master Protection Agreement can save you money and aggravation.
Enhorabuena por haber hecho una compra inteligente. Su nuevo producto
Kenmore ® está diseñado y fabricado para brindarle años de funcionamiento fiable. Pero, como cualquier producto, puede necesitar mantenimiento preventivo o reparaciones periódicas. Es por eso que tener un Acuerdo maestro de protección podría ahorrarle dinero y molestias.
The Master Protection Agreement also helps extend the life of your new product. Here’s what the Agreement* includes:
; Parts and labor needed to help keep products operating properly under normal use, not just defects. Our coverage goes well beyond the product warranty. No deductibles, no functional failure excluded from coverage – real protection.
;
Expert service by a force of more than 10,000 authorized
Sears service technicians, which means someone you can trust will be working on your product.
; Unlimited service calls and nationwide service, as often as you want us, whenever you want us.
; «No-lemon» guarantee – replacement of your covered product if four or more product failures occur within twelve months.
; Product replacement if your covered product can’t be fixed.
;
Annual Preventive Maintenance Check at your request – no extra charge.
; Fast help by phone – we call it Rapid Resolution – phone support from a Sears representative on all products.
Think of us as a «talking owner’s manual».
; Power surge protection against electrical damage due to power fluctuations.
; $250 Food Loss Protection annually for any food spoilage that is the result of mechanical failure of any covered refrigerator or freezer.
;
Rental reimbursement if repair of your covered product takes longer than promised.
; 10% discount off the regular price of any non-covered repair service and related installed parts.
El Acuerdo maestro de protección también sirve para prolongar la durabilidad de su nuevo producto. El acuerdo* incluye lo siguiente:
; Piezas y mano de obra necesarias para contribuir a mantener el funcionamiento adecuado de los productos utilizados en condiciones
normales de uso, no sólo en caso de defectos de los productos. Nuestra cobertura va mucho más allá que la garantía del producto. No se aplican deducibles ni exclusiones por fallas del funcionamiento: es decir, verdadera protección.
; Servicio técnico por expertos (más de 10000 técnicos autorizados de
Sears), lo cual significa que quien repare o realice el mantenimiento de su producto será un profesional de confianza.
; Servicio técnico a escala nacional y número ilimitado de llamadas de
solicitud de servicio técnico: se puede poner en contacto con nosotros cuantas veces lo desee y cuando lo desee.
;
Garantía «sin sorpresas»: se reemplaza el producto cubierto por el acuerdo si ocurren cuatro o más fallas del producto en un periodo de 12 meses.
;
Reemplazo del producto: en caso de que no se pueda reparar el producto cubierto por el acuerdo.
; Revisión anual preventiva de mantenimiento del producto: puede solicitarla en cualquier momento, sin costo alguno.
;
Rápida asistencia telefónica, la cual denominamos Solución rápida: es decir, asistencia telefónica a través de cualquiera de nuestros representantes de Sears, sobre cualquiera de nuestros productos. Piense en nosotros como en un «manual parlante del usuario».
; Protección contra fallas eléctricas, contra daños debidos a fluctuaciones de la corriente eléctrica.
; $250 al año para cubrir cualquier posible deterioro de alimentos que haya tenido que desechar debido a una falla mecánica de cualquiera de nuestros refrigeradores o congeladores cubiertos por este acuerdo.
; Devolución de gastos de alquiler de electrodomésticos si la reparación de su producto asegurado toma más que el tiempo prometido.
; 10% de descuento aplicable tanto a los costos del servicio de reparación, como de las piezas instaladas relacionadas que no hayan quedado cubiertos por este acuerdo.
Once you purchase the Agreement, a simple phone call is all that it takes for you to schedule service. You can call anytime day or night, or schedule a service appointment online.
The Master Protection Agreement is a risk free purchase. If you cancel for any reason during the product warranty period, we will provide a full refund. Or, a prorated refund anytime after the product warranty period expires. Purchase your Master
Protection Agreement today!
Una vez que haya realizado el pago de este acuerdo, bastará una simple llamada telefónica para concertar una visita de servicio. Puede llamar a cualquier hora del día o de la noche, o bien concertar una visita de servicio por
Internet.
La adquisición del Acuerdo maestro de protección es una inversión exenta de riesgos. Si por cualquier motivo decide cancelar dicho acuerdo durante el periodo de garantía del producto, le haremos un reintegro total del valor. O bien un importe proporcional si cancela el acuerdo en cualquier otro momento posterior al vencimiento del periodo de garantía del producto. ¡Adquiera hoy mismo su Acuerdo maestro de protección!
