Coil Elements and Burner Bowls

Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner
bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also
help catch spills.
Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) over the
coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce
excess heat, causing the burner bowl to change color. For more
information, see the "General Cleaning" section.
NOTE: Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner
bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the
OFF position.
To Remove:
1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then
lift it enough to clear the burner bowl.

will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the
receptacle.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements, or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most-recently used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area
■
or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend
more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or
element.
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements,
■
or surface burners at the same time.
The installation of a Canning Unit Kit is recommended. If a kit
■
is not installed, the life of the coil element will be shortened.
See "Assistance or Service" for instructions on how to order.
For more information, contact your local agricultural
■
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.
