Ceramic Glass Surface (on some models)

Wiping off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains. For more information, see “General Cleaning” section.

■Do not store jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the ceramic glass.

■For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.

■Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.

■Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

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.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.
