Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF, the cooktop surface
remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops.


Use the Correct Cookware Type
The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the
cooktop surface require the use of cookware made with
magnetic material in order to start the heating process on
any of the Cooking Zones.
When purchasing pans, look for cookware specically
identied by the manufacturer for use with Induction
cooktops. If you are not sure, use a magnet to test whether
the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the
bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for
Induction cooking (Fig. 5).
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality
stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface.
This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing
scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface,
especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop
surface without being lifted up. Over time sliding  type
of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter the
overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup
of scratches will make cleaning the surface dicult and
degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

Condition
The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have
at bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface
of the Cooking Zone. Check for atness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 6). Be sure
to follow all the recommendations for using cookware as
shown on pages 6 & 7.

Use cookware made with the correct material type for
Induction Cooking (Fig. 5).
Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat

Prior to using your cooktop for the rst time, apply the
recommended cooktop cleaning creme (on the web visit www.
sears.com for replacement cleaner, item number 40079) to the
ceramic surface. Bu with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch

Minute Timer
The Minute Timer feature may be useful in the kitchen if a
recipe calls for keeping track of time. This feature will keep
track of time from 1 to 99 minutes. The display located to

to count down minutes once set.

Using the Touch Control
Be sure that your nger is placed in the center of the touch
pad. If the nger is not placed on the center of a pad, the
cooktop may not respond to the selection made.
Lightly contact the pad with the at part of your entire
ngertip. Do not just use the narrow end of your ngertip.
To Set the Minute Timer:
1. Start the cooktop timer by touching the “Timer Set/O”
pad. Touching and releasing the
or the key pads
will increase or decrease the Minute Timer setting by 1
minute with each key press (up to 99 minutes). You may
also hold the
or key to slew the time to your
designated time.
2. Once the Timer display the desired amount of time,
release the
or arrow key pads. The timer
will display the time remaining in minutes within the
countdown process. During the last 60 seconds, the timer
will countdown in seconds.
Note: After the timer is set, it is normal for the displayed
value to automatically go down by one minute. This is
due to the fact that the display only shows the minutes
remaining and does not show the countdown process in
the back ground. For example when setting the timer for
3 minutes, the timer will start counting down at 02 min 59
seconds, but the timer display will only show 02 minutes,
not the remaining seconds.
Once the Minute Timer reaches 00, it will ash and a long
beep will sound every 5 seconds indicating that the time
is up. The Minute Timer will keep beeping until the “Timer
Set/O” key pad is touched.
To Cancel the Minute Timer:
At any time to cancel the minute timer, press the Timer Set/

Preheat Recommendations
When preheating a pan on the cooktop always watch
carefully. Whenever using the cooktop, always pay attention
to any items cooking and remain attentive until the cooking
process is complete.
Keep in mind that induction may decrease the amount of
time required to preheat a cooking utensil.
Residual Heat
Once any Cooking Zone has been used for cooking and
turned OFF, and if the cooktop surface temperature on any
of the Cooking Zones is still too HOT, HE will appear in the
display of the aected Cooking Zone. The HE will continue
to display if the temperature is still too HOT.

Fluids spilled or objects lying on the controls area of the
cooktop may cause the cooktop to display an error code
and turn OFF while cooking. Clean the spills or remove the
objects from the cooktop.
Be sure the cooktop vent holes are NOT blocked. If the
vent holes are blocked the cooktop internal sensor may
shut OFF the cooktop to avoid overheating the appliance.
• If the cookware or pan is moved from the center of any
active Cooking Zone for any reason, a sensor will detect the

Power Sharing
In order to give you more exibility, your induction cooktop
is equipped with more cooking zones than the number of
induction generators. Each of those generators is assigned to
power a specic cooking zone (Fig. 25). One or two cooking
zones are assigned to each generator. To be able to give you
access to the highest power ratings, the generator will focus
its power onto only one cooking zone. If you use more than
one cooking zone at high power on the same generator, the
generator will need to share its power to both cooking zones,
thus lowering the power level of one of the cooking zones.
When you are sharing power (cooking in both zones), the
last zone set will cook at the power setting you selected. The
other zone will experience a slight decrease from its power
setting if both zones are set high enough.
Depending on the size of your cooktop, 2 or 3 sections are
available:
The 30” cooktop is equipped with 4 cooking zones within 2 sections.
The 36” cooktop is equipped with ve cooking zones within
3 sections. Note that on the 36” cooktop the right cooking
zone has its own section and will not share its power.
To get the highest power output from your cooking zones, cook
with only one cookware per heating section. If you need to use
most of your cooking zones at once, start your cooking process
on only one cooking zone within the heating section and then
add your second cookware on the second cooking zone when
the rst one has already reached its cooking temperature.
Remember to select the power setting last for the cooking
zone you want to maintain at full power or set the altered
power to where you want it.

Cooking Zones
Operational Noises
The electronics generating the induction elds are pretty
much noiseless but they do produce heat at high power
level. A soft-sounding cooling fan activates when the unit is
running multiple cooking zones at once or when a cooking
zone is set at very high power settings.
The buzzing sound you could hear from your cooktop is not
coming from the electronics but from the cookware you are
using. Here are some causes of this noise:
Most induction-ready cookware are made of several
layers of materials. An encapsulated steel layer is usually
used to harness the induction eld and transform it into
heat, which is then transferred to the other materials by
radiant energy. The induction eld will cause the steel
layer to vibrate against the other materials in which it
is encapsulated. This is the most common cause of noise
from the induction process. This buzzing only happens
at the higher power level settings. Note that high quality
cookware manufacturers weld this steel layer in place
which lowers or cancel this noise.
Light weight cookware may also vibrate. We recommend
using heavy weight quality cookware.
Cookware with warped bottoms can vibrate on the
ceramic glass surface at high power settings.
The power output of your induction cooktop
is capable of warping an empty pan. Never use the
higher power settings on an empty pan. Even the highest
quality cookware is vulnerable to warping.
Riveted handles on cookware can also cause buzzing
sounds from the vibrations.
Solid cast iron and enamelware cookware should not emit
any noise. Top quality cookware made of several layers
should also be relatively quiet.

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 
abrasive cloth or  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.

PROTECTION AGREEMENTS
Contrats de protection principaux
Félicitations! Vous avez fait un bon achat.
Votre nouvel appareil Kenmore
®
est
conçu et fabriqué dans le but de vous offrir plusieurs années d’utilisation sans
tracas. Cependant, comme tout appareil, il peut nécessiter un entretien
préventif ou des réparations occasionnelles. C’est pourquoi un contrat de
protection principal peut vous permettre d’épargner de l’argent et vous éviter
des problèmes.
Le contrat de protection principal contribue également à prolonger la durée
de vie de votre nouvel appareil. Voici ce que couvre le contrat* :
; Les pièces et la main-d’oeuvre requises pour le fonctionnement
adéquat de l’appareil dans des conditions d’utilisation normales, pas
seulement pour les défauts. Notre couverture vous offre beaucoup plus
que la simple garantie du produit. Aucune franchise, aucune exclusion
de défaillance fonctionnelle, une véritable protection.
; Un service professionnel offert par une équipe de plus de 10 000
techniciens de service Sears autorisés, ce qui signifie que votre
appareil sera confié à une personne de confiance.
; Des appels de service illimités et un service à la grandeur du pays,
à tout moment, aussi souvent que vous le désirez.
; La garantie « anti-citron », vous assurant le remplacement de l’appareil
couvert si quatre défaillances ou plus surviennent à l’intérieur de douze
mois.
; Le remplacement de l’appareil couvert s’il ne peut être réparé.
; Une vérification d’entretien préventive annuelle sur demande et sans
frais.
; Un service d’aide téléphonique rapide, appelé « Résolution rapide »,
qui vous permet de bénéficier du soutien téléphonique d’un représentant
Sears pour tous les produits. Nous sommes votre « guide d’utilisation
parlant ».
; Une protection contre les surtensions pour les dommages électriques
causés par des fluctuations électriques.
; Une couverture annuelle de 250 $ pour la perte d’aliments à la suite
de toute détérioration d’aliments résultant d’une défaillance mécanique
d’un réfrigérateur ou d’un congélateur couvert.
; Le remboursement de la location, si la réparation de l’appareil couvert
prend plus de temps que prévu.
; Un rabais de 10 % sur le prix régulier de tout service de réparation non
couvert et les pièces installées qui en découlent.
Une fois le contrat acheté, un simple appel téléphonique suffit pour obtenir un
service de réparation. Vous pouvez téléphoner à toute heure du jour ou de la
nuit, ou prendre rendez-vous en ligne pour une réparation.
Le contrat de protection principal est un achat sans risque. Si, pour quelque
raison que ce soit, vous annulez le contrat durant la période de garantie du
produit, vous serez remboursé en totalité. En cas d’annulation après la
période de garantie du produit, vous recevrez un remboursement calculé au
prorata. Procurez-vous votre contrat de protection principal dès aujourd’hui!
Certaines restrictions et exclusions s’appliquent. Si vous êtes aux
États-Unis et que vous désirez connaître les prix et obtenir de plus
amples renseignements, téléphonez au 1 800 827-6655.
* Au Canada, la couverture de certains articles peut varier. Pour
connaître tous les détails, communiquez avec Sears Canada au 1 800
361-6665.
