Hot Surface Indicator Light (under ceramic glass)

The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface

cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking

area(s) is turned off.

Coil Elements and Burner Bowls

(on some models)

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 1 in. (2.5 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.

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:

Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then

lift it just enough to clear the burner bowl.

Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.

Lift out the burner bowl.

To Replace:

Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element

receptacle.

Holding the coil element as level as possible, carefully push

coil element terminal into the receptacle.

When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it

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

receptacle.

Lift-up Cooktop

(on some models)

The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath.

Do not drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the finish and

the cooktop frame. For more information, see the “General

Cleaning” section.

To Lift:

Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock into

place.

To Replace:

Lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support

rods back to unlock them.

Slowly lower the cooktop into place.

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.

■

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

■

On coil element models, 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

ordering instructions.

■

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.
