On model KGCV566, the grates are located near the outside

frame.

Locator Pin

On all models except for model KGCV566, the locator pin on the

grate must be positioned in the burner cap hole to hold the grate

in place.

Ceramic Glass

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it

free from stains. For more information, see “General Cleaning”

section.

■

Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a

heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack it.

■

Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or

aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

■

Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry

before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits

when heated.

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 1 in.

(2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.

■

Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements

or surface burners at the same time.

■

For more information, contact your local U.S. Government

Agricultural Department Extension Office. In Canada, contact

Agriculture Canada. Companies that manufacture home

canning products can also offer assistance.

Cookware

IMPORTANT:

Never 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.
