■Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.

■Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small expansion channels can be used.

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

■Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop.

HOT Surface Indicator Lights

■Four HOT surface indicator lights.

The HOT surface indicator lights on the cooktop surface will glow when their corresponding surface elements are turned on. The HOT surface indicator lights will continue to glow as long as the elements are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off.

NOTE: Heat from the oven vent may cause the left rear HOT surface indicator light to glow to show that the area is too warm to touch.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

■Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or element. Canners should not extend more than 1" (2.5 cm) outside the cooking area.

■Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners at the same time.

■On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.

■On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil element will be shortened.

■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, 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 it 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.
