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. Canners should not extend more than

½" (1.3 cm) outside the cooking area.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or

surface burners at the same time.

■ On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.

■ 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, 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.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material

characteristics.

COOKTOP CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and

the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning

products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless

otherwise noted.

STAINLESS STEEL/PAINTED TRIM (on some models)

Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop

Cleaner, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or some paper

towels. Damage may occur.

Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.

Do not soak knobs.

When replacing knobs, make sure knobs are in the Off position.

Do not remove seals under knobs.

Pull knobs straight away from control panel to remove

CERAMIC GLASS

Do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine

bleach, rust remover or ammonia because damage may occur.

Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly

to prevent streaking and staining.

Cooktop Cleaner is recommended for regular use to help prevent

scratches, pitting and abrasions, and to condition the cooktop. It

may be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service”

section to order.

A Cooktop Scraper is also recommended for stubborn soils, and

can be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service”

section to order. The Cooktop Scraper uses razor blades. Store

razor blades out of the reach of children.
