properly and securely over the grate.

In case of a prolonged power failure

You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to the LITE position. After the burner lights, turn the control knob to the setting you want.

Home canning information

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop and/or surrounding areas.

To protect your cooktop:

Center the canner over the surface burner.

Do not let the canner extend beyond the grate edges.

Start with hot water, cover with a lid and bring to a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure canner.

Refer to your canner manual for specific instructions.

For up-to-date information on canning, In the United States, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department Extension Office or companies who manufacture home canning products. In Canada, contact Agriculture Canada.

Energy saving tips

To help shorten your cooking time, use the least amount of liquid possible.

Preheat your pans only when recommended and for the shortest time possible.

Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.

Using the right cookware makes a big difference

The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid.

Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) cookware.

The pan material (metal or glass) affects how quickly and evenly the pan heats.

When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.
