Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
■
Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
■
For more information, contact your local agricultural
■
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface
cooking area, element, or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a
well-fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when
used as a base, they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop
or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has
the same characteristics as its base material.
For example, aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take
on the properties of aluminum.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF
and the cooktop is cool. Always follow the label instructions
on cleaning products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first
unless otherwise noted.
STAINLESS STEEL
To avoid damage to stainless steel surfaces, do not use soap-
filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, cooktop cleaner,
steelwool pads, gritty washcloths, abrasive paper towels, or
stainless steel brightener.
Rub in the direction of the grain to avoid damaging.

COOKTOP CONTROLS
To avoid damage to the cooktop controls, do not use steel wool,
abrasive cleansers, or oven cleaner. Do not spray cleaners in the
control area when the knobs are removed. Apply spray cleaners
to a soft cloth or sponge, not directly on the control area.
To avoid damage, do not soak the knobs.
When replacing the knobs, make sure the knobs are in the Off
position.
On some models, do not remove seals under the knobs.

PORCELAIN-COATED GRATES AND CAPS
Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should
be cleaned as soon as the cooktop, grates, and caps are cool.
These spills may affect the finish.
To avoid chipping, do not bang the grates and caps against each
other or hard surfaces such as cast iron cookware.
Do not reassemble the caps on burners while wet.
