manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Use Proper Pan Size. This
appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of di erent sizes. Select utensils having
at 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 e ciency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward
from Edges of Cooktop and Should Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Units. To reduce the risk
of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at a
Hi Heat Settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that
has boiled dry may melt.
Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil
to line any 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 re or short
circuit.
Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for
range top service without breaking due to
the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.
• Ventilating hood. The ventilating hood above
your cooking surface should be cleaned
frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors
does not accumulate on the hood or lter.
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
appliance.
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
quali ed technician immediately.
Clean Cooktop 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.
Do Not Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop
Glass. This could cause glass to break.
Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface.
They may scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not let pans boil dry. Pans that boil dry

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.
Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop
to the cookware. Only at-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
a ect 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.
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 o . The
heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform
and consistent heat during the o cycle. For energy e cient
cooking, turn o 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 cooktop is equipped with radiant surface burners with
di erent 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 30”
cooktop as follows (See Figure 1):
One 9 inch Turbo Boil Flex
TM
radiant element located at
the left rear position;
One 6 inch single radiant element located at the right
rear position;
One 9 or 12 inch dual radiant element located at the
right front position;
One 6 inch Simmer Flex
TM
single radiant element located
at the left front position.
The radiant surface elements are located on the 36”
cooktop as follows (See Figure 2):
Two 6 inch radiant elements located at the center and
right rear position;
One 9 inch Turbo Boil Flex
TM
radiant element located at
the left rear position;
One 9 or 12 inch dual radiant element located at the

at the left front position.
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 o , even at the HI setting. This
helps to prevent damage to the ceramic cooktop. Cycling
at the HI setting is normal and will mostly occur if the
cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the
cookware bottom is not at (For information concerning
cookware, refer to use proper cookware on page 7 of
this Use and Care Guide)

General Care & Cleaning
Cleaning Your Cooktop
Before cleaning any part of the cooktop, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is COOL. REMOVE
SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS NOW WILL REDUCE THE DIFFICULTY
AND EXTENT OF A MAJOR
CLEANING LATER.
Surfaces How to Clean
Painted and Plastic
Control Knobs, Body Parts, and
Decorative Trim
For general cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth. For more di 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 or dull the nish.
Stainless Steel, Chrome parts
Decorative Trim Cooktop
Clean with hot, soapy water and a 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 o from the surface as bluish stains
may occur during heating that cannot be removed.
Ceramic Glass
Cooktop
See Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance in this Use & Care Guide.
Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the rst 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). Bu 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 nish 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.
11
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 them with a metal razor blade scraper, holding
scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils, then apply a
few drops of cleaning cream and bu 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 speci cally
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 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.
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 di cult 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
.

IMPORTANTES INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD
estar limpios. No permita que la grasa se acumule
en la cubierta o en el ltro. Los depósitos grasosos
pueden encenderse y causar un incendio. Cuando
caliente comida bajo la cubierta, encienda el
ventilador. Consulte las instrucciones del fabricante
para la limpieza.
Utilice una sartén de tamaño
apropiado. Este aparato está equipado con
quemadores de diferentes tamaños. Elija utensilios
con las bases aplanadas y lo su cientemente
grandes para cubrir todo el area del quemador.
Utilizar utensilios más pequeños puede exponer
parte del quemador y ocasionar quemaduras de
las prendas que lleva puesta.
Los mangos de los utensilios deben ser colocados
hacia el interior y no sobre otras unidades de
super cie. Para reducir el riesgo de quemaduras,
el encendido de materiales in amables y los
derrames ocasionados de casualidad.
Nunca deje los quemadores con alta temperatura
sin cuidado- Los derrames ocasionan humo y
derrames grasosos que pueden encenderse, o
una sartén que ha calentado por mucho tiempo
puede derretirse.
Delineadores protectores. No utilice película de
aluminio a la base del horno u otra parte del
aparato. Sólo utilizela para cubrir la comida
cuando esté cociéndola. Cualquier otra utilización
puede ocasionar un incendio, una electrocución o
un cortocircuito.
• Utensilios de cocina envidriados- Sólo algunos
tipos de utensilios de vidrio, de vidrio/cerámica,
de cerámica pueden resistir la temperatura del
quemador de su plancha de cocinar. Veri que
las recomendaciones del fabricante sobre el uso
con las planchas de cocinar.
Cubierta de ventilación. La cubierta de
ventilación sobre el área de cocción debe
ser limpiada frecuentemente, de manera que
la grasa de la cocción no se acumule en la
cubierta o en el ltro.
No use cubiertas decorativas para los
quemadores de superficie. Si se enciende
un quemador accidentalmente, la cubierta
decorativa se calentará y puede derretirse. Usted
no podrá ver que el quemador está encendido.
Se quemará si toca las cubiertas calientes.
No limpie o utilice una plancha de cocinar que
está rota- Si la plancha de cocinar se rompe,
los productos de limpieza o los derrames
pueden penetrar en ella y producir un riesgo
de electrocución. Llame a un técnico cali cado
inmediatamente.
Limpie el vidrio de la plancha de cocinar con
cuidado- Si utiliza una esponja mojada para
limpiar derrames en una super cie caliente,
tenga cuidado de no quemarse con el vapor.
Algunos productos de limpieza pueden producir
peligrosas emanaciones si se les usa sobre areas
muy calientes.
No coloque utensilios de cocina calientes sobre
el vidrio de la plancha de cocinar aún fría. Esto
podría causar la ruptura del vidrio.
No deslice utensilios sobre la super cie de la
cocina. Podrían rayar la super cie.
No deje que los utensilios hiervan hasta
quedarse sin líquido. Esto podría causar daños
permanentes como rupturas, fusiones o diseño
que afecten la cocina de super cie en vidrio.
(Estos tipos de daños no son cubiertos por la
garantía).
ADVERTENCIA DE SEGURIDAD IMPORTANTE
El California Safe Drinking Water y Toxic
Enforcement Act requiere al Gobierno de California

La cubierta de vidrio cerámico tiene elementos radiantes
superiores situados debajo de la super cie de vidrio. El diseño
de la cubierta de vidrio cerámico delinea el contorno del
elemento superior que está debajo. Asegúrese de que el
diámetro del utensilio coincida con el diámetro del elemento en
la cubierta.
El calor es transferido hacia arriba a través de la super cie de
la cubierta hacia el utensilio. Se deben usar solamente utensilios
de fondo plano. El tipo y tamaño de los utensilios, el número de
elementos superiores que estén en uso y el ajuste de cada uno
de ellos son factores que afectarán la cantidad de calor que
se esparcirá a las áreas que rodean a los elementos superiores.
Las áreas que rodean a los elementos pueden calentarse lo
su ciente como para causar quemaduras.
A propósito de los Elementos Radiantes Superiores
La temperatura del elemento aumenta gradual y
uniformemente. A medida que la temperatura va aumentando,
el elemento se iluminará de rojo. Para mantener el ajuste
seleccionado, el elemento pasará por ciclos de encendido y
apagado. El elemento calefactor retiene su ciente calor para
proporcionar un calor uniforme y consistente durante el ciclo
de apagado. El dispositivo de cerámica aisla térmicamente
al elemento calefactor, concentrando el calor en el área
calefactor. Para cocción e ciente, apague el elemento varios
minutos antes de terminar de cocinar. Esto permitirá que el
calor residual termine el proceso de cocción.
Ubicación de los Elementos Superiores Radiantes
y de los Controles
Su estufa está equipada con quemadores superiores radiantes
con wattajes nominales diferentes. La habilidad de calentar
alimentos más rápidamente y en volúmenes mayores aumenta a
medida que aumenta el wattaje del elemento.
Los elementos radiantes están localizados en la parrilla de
cocina de 30 pulgadas de la siguiente manera. (ver gura 1):
Un elemento de 9 pulgadas Turbo Boil Flex
TM
localizado en la
parte trasera izquierda.
Un elemento de 6 pulgadas localizado en la parte trasera
derecha.
Un elemento doble de 9 y 12 pulgadas localizado en la parte
delantera derecha.
Un elemento de 6 pulgadas Simmer Flex
TM
localizado en la
parte delantera izquierda
Los elementos radiantes están localizados en la parrilla de
cocina de 36 pulgadas de la siguiente manera. (ver gura 2):
Dos elementos radiantes de 6 pulgadas localizado en la parte
trasera izquierda y central.
Un elemento de 9 pulgadas Turbo Boil Flex
TM
localizado en la
parte trasera izquierda.
Un elemento doble de 9 y 12 pulgadas localizado en la parte
delantera izquierda.
Un elemento de 6 pulgadas Simmer Flex
TM
localizado en la
parte delantera derecha.
Ajuste de los Controles Superiores
A propósito de la Cubierta de Vidrio Cerámico
NOTA: Por favor lea las instrucciones detalladas
sobre la limpieza de la cubierta de vidrio cerámico en
las secciones Cuidado y Limpieza y Antes de Solicitar
Servicio de este Manual del Usuario.
NOTA: Los elementos radiantes tienen un limitador
que les permite pasar por un ciclo ‘ON’ (encendido)
y un ciclo ‘OFF’ (apagado), aún cuando estén en el
ajuste ‘HI’ (Alto). Esto ayuda a evitar que se dañe
la cubierta de vidrio cerámico. El funcionamiento
cíclico en el ajuste ‘HI’ es normal y puede ocurrir si
el utensilio es demasiado pequeño para el elemento
radiante o si el fondo del utensilio no es plano.
(Consulte la página 7 para las instrucciones sobre el
uso de los utensilios correctos en la cubierta).
NOTA: El vidrio volverá verde cuando los elementos
de super cie están en la posición de apagado después
de haber sido utilizados a agrande intensidad. Este
fenómeno es normal y el vidrio volverá a su color blanco
inicial después de haberse completamente enfriado.
(Vidrio blanco solamente).
