IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat
Settings—Boiloverscause smoking and greasyspilloversthat
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The
use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner
flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve
efficiency.
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans. Protective liners or aluminum foil may interfere
with heat and airdistribution, and combustion. Damage to the
cooktop or personal injury may result.
• Use proper pan size—Thisappliance isequipped with one
or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils
having flat bottom large enough to coverthe surface burner.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
surface burnerto direct contact and mayresult in ignition of
clothing. Properrelationship ofutensilto the surface burner
will also improve efficiency.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, orotherglazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cooktop use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. Ifa burner
is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become
hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the
burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched.
Damage mayalso be done to the cooktop orburnersbecause
the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from
the burner and cause combustion problems.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inw ard and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of
the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

Proper Burner Adjustments
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted room.
Each cone of flame should be steady and sharply defined. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange. To clean burner, see
instructionsunderGeneralCleaning.

Setting Surface Controls
Each burner lights automatically from an electric ignitor each time a control knob
is turned to the LITE position. Two ignitors (one per set of burners) are supplied.
To operate the surface burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on burner.
2. Push in and turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Only the burner you are
turning on will ignite.
3. Visually check that the burner has lit.
4. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The
control knobs do not have to be set at a particular mark. Use the guides and adjust
the flame as needed. DO NOT cook with the control knob in the LITE position. (The
electronic ignitor will continue to click if left in the LITE position, causing premature
wear.)
In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually.
To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the
surface control knob to LITE. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic w rappings on top
of the range w hen it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood spoons could catch fire if placed
too close to a flame.
Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils
For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:
*GOOD
POOR
• Curved and warped pan bottoms.
• Pan overhangs unit by more than
2.5 cm (1”).
• Flat bottom and straight sides.
• Tight fitting lids.
Pans should have flat bottoms. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the bot-
tom. There should be no gaps between
the pan and ruler.
• Weight of handle does not tilt
pan. Pan is well balanced.
• Pan sizes match the amount of
food to be prepared.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intend-
ed purpose. Follow manufacturer's in-
structions. Some utensils were not made
to be used in the oven or on the cooktop.
• Flame extends beyond unit.
• Made of material that conducts
heat well.
• Easy to clean.
Note: Do not use griddle over more than
one burner. That can damage your
cooktop and that can result in exposure
to carbon monoxide levels above allow-
able current standards. That can hazard-
ous to your health.
* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be used
but must conform to the above recommended cookware requirements.
6
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available in
most cookshop or hardware stores.
Round-bottomed woks (with a
support ring that does not extend
beyond the burner unit) may also be
used. The metal ring was designed to
support the wok safely when it is
filled with large amounts of liquids
(soup making) or fat (frying).
Specialty Pans & Trivets
DO NOT use a w ok if it is equipped
w it h a m e t a l rin g t h a t e xt e n d s
beyond the burner unit. Because this
ring traps heat, the surface unit and
cooktop surface could be damaged.
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets. Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact
with the grates.
DO NOT use two burner units to heat one large pan such as a
roaster or griddle, or allow cooking utensils to boil dry. The bottom surface of the
pan in either of these situations could cause discoloring or crazing of the appliance
cooking surface, and damage to the grates and burner units.
1. Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local
Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for
the latest canning information.
2. Use flat-bottomed canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the
bottom surface is flat.
Canning Tips &
Information
Canning can generate
large amounts of steam. Use extreme cau-
tion to prevent burns. Always raise the
lid to vent steam away from you.
3. Center canner on the burner grate.
4. Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to
bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to
maintain a constant boil.
5. It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop and burner grates:
1. Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the burner grate.
2. Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
3. Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the units and
surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same burner
unit all day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed
and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle
but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.
