Before Setting Oven Controls - Kenmore 970-6600 Series Use & Care Manual

Before Setting Oven Controls

• Baking Layer Cakes
• Air Circulation in the Oven
Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 (Flat Handle Oven Rack) & 5
with the Offset Oven Rack (See Fig. 1). For best results when using a single oven rack, place cookware on rack position 4
(See Fig. 2).
Air Circulation in the Oven
For best air circulation and 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. The hot air
must be able to circulate around the
pans and cookware in the oven for
even heat to reach around the food.
Preparing the cooktop
• Cooktop Cleaning Cream
• Locking & Unlocking the Cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning creme (on the web visit
www.sears.com for replacement cleaner, item number 40079) to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or 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.
NOTE: Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section
and Before You Call checklist section of this manual.
To Set the Cooktop Lockout Feature
The pad is used to activate the Cooktop Lockout feature which will lock all surface
elements from being accidentally turned ON. This feature will only lock the cooktop.
To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature ON:
1. BE SURE ALL surface element controls are set to the OFF position.
2. Press and hold until a 2nd beep sounds. If a triple beep sounds instead, check
all surface elements and turn them to the OFF position and repeat this step. The Cooktop
Locked indicator light will turn ON and the cooktop controls and functions are locked out
until the cooktop is unlocked (See Fig. 3).
To turn the Cooktop Lockout Feature OFF:
1. BE SURE ALL surface element controls are set to the OFF position.
2. Press and hold until a 2nd beep sounds (after 3 seconds).The Cooktop Locked
indicator light will turn OFF and the cooktop may be used normally (See Fig. 4).
Note: Starting a Self-Clean cycle will automatically turn ON the Cooktop Lockout feature. The cooktop will remain locked until
the Self-Clean cycle has completed and the oven door has unlocked. If a power failure occurs after the Cooktop Lockout has
been activated, you must turn OFF the Cooktop Lockout feature before being able to use the cooktop features again.
