• Use the entire surface ("DUAL" setting) of the
right rear surface cooking area for best
results.
• Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of
cooktops, especially ceramic glass.
Canners with rippled or ridged bottoms do not
allow good contact with the surface.
• Center the canner over the largest surface
cooking area. Do not extend more than 1
inch (2.5 cm) outside the surface cooking
area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not
centered correctly, will trap heat and result
in damage to the cooktop. Do not place on
two surface cooking areas at the same time.
• The type of material the canner is made of
determines the length of heating time. Refer
to the "Characteristics of cookware materials"
chart later in this section for more information.
Caring for your cooktop
This cooktop is designed for easy care.
However, ceramic glass cooktops need
to be maintained differently than standard
electric coil elements. Foods spilled directly
on the cooktop will not burn off as on coil
elements. Because of this, the surface should
be dust-free and soil-free before heating.

• When canning for long periods of time, allow
elements and the surrounding surfaces to
cool down.
• Alternate use of the surface cooking areas
between batches or prepare small batches at
a time.
• Start with hot water, cover with a lid, and bring
to a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil
or required pressure levels in a pressure
canner.
• For up-to-date information on canning,
contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office or
companies who manufacture home canning
products.
Your cooktop has been prepolished at
the factory for improved protection and
cleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme,
a paper towel or a sponge is all you need to
clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning
methods, please review the "How to keep
your cooktop looking like new" chart. Follow
this chart after each use to ensure top
performance and to preserve that uniquely
elegant look.
NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.
