3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do

not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden

toothpick.

4. Replace the burner cap and head, making sure the alignment

tab and notch are properly aligned with the burner cap.

5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check burner

head alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not

service the burner yourself. Contact a trained repair

specialist.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface

burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently

used areas to cool.

■ Center the canner on the grate.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.

■ 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, and 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
