CARE AND CLEANING
Proper care and cleaning are important so your cooktop will give you
efficient and satisfactory service. If soil, mineral deposits from evaporated
water spills or metal rub-off from aluminum cookware is not removed it
will
burn on the surface and cause permanent discoloration. Follow these
directions carefully in caring for your cooktop to assure safe and proper
maintenance.
Be sure that controls

Removal of Packaging Tape
The safest way to remove adhesive left from packing tape on new appliances
to assure no damage is done to the finish of the product is an application of

Control Knobs
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning.
Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note
that the knobs are in the proper OFF position. When
replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to insure
proper placement.
The knob stem has a groove in each side. The
groove on one

and find the molded rib. Replace the knob by fitting
the molded rib inside the knob into the clear groove
on the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water or a
vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.

Canning should be done on cooktop only.
Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of surface unit’s edge
are not recommended for most surface cooking.
However, when canning with water-bath or pressure
canner, large-diameter pots may be used. This is
because boiling water temperatures (even under
pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces
surrounding surface unit.
Observe Following Points in Canning
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER
CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER
COOKWARE FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS
OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce
mixtures—and all types of frying—cook at
temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such
temperatures could eventually harm cooktop surfaces.
1. Be sure canner fits over center of surface unit.
If your cooktop or its location do not allow canner
to be centered on the surface unit, use
diameter pots for good canning results.
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use
canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because they don’t

long to boil water.
CAUTION
Safe canning requires that harmful microorganisms
are destroyed and that the jars are sealed
completely. When canning foods in a water bath
canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained
continuously for the required time. When canning
foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be
maintained continuously for the required time.
After you have adjusted the controls, it is very
important to make sure the prescribed boil or
pressure levels are maintained for the required time.

3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures
are available from the manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as
Ball and Kerr; and the United States Department
of Agriculture Extension Service.
4. Remember that canning is a process that generates
large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam
or heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE: If your house has
take longer than expected, even though directions
have been carefully followed. The process time will
be shortened by:
(1)
using a pressure canner, and
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating of
large quantities of water.
This cooktop has temperature limiters that prevent
the cooktop from getting too hot. If the bottom of
your canner is not flat, the surface unit can
overheat, triggering the temperature limiters to
turn the surface unit off for a time. This will stop
the boil or reduce the pressure in the canner.
Since you must make sure to process the canning
jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption
in processing time, you cannot can on this cooktop
