Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help avoid poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.

Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube by always using a burner cap.

Griddle

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to griddle, the griddle is to be used on the center burner only and with low flame.

Before First Use:

Wash the griddle with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. To avoid sticking, rub the surface with vegetable oil, and wipe excess off with a paper towel.

■Do not leave empty griddle on a hot surface cooking area or surface burner.

■Do not overheat the griddle. The nonstick coating could be damaged.

■The griddle should not be used to bake, broil or microwave.

■To reduce spattering or grease spillover while cooking, avoid cooking food with excess fat.

■To preserve durability, do not cut food on the griddle.

■Avoid use of metal utensils.

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 above the burner.

■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 or grates. 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.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the broiler.
