Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally for proper size and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.

To Clean:

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.

1.Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean according to “General Cleaning” section.

2.Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.

3.Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist.

4.Rotate burners 180°, as shown.

5.Replace burners, with large hole over gas tube opening, and small hole over the igniter. See “Sealed Surface Burners” section for burner parts descriptions. Push burner down, flush with cooktop.

6.Replace burner caps and grates.

4.Replace the correct size burner cap onto the correct size burner base, making sure the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap.

On some models, each size burner cap and burner base has a corresponding letter “A,” “B,” “C” and “D.” To ensure a proper fit and that the burner will light, make sure that the burner cap matches with its corresponding letter on the burner base.

A

B

A.Incorrect

B.Correct

5.Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

Burner Rotation

The right side burners can be rotated 180° to reduce the distance between the front and back burners. This permits better heat distribution when using oblong pans or griddles.

To Rotate Burners:

1.Make sure burners are cool before beginning rotation.

2.Remove right side grates and burner caps.

3.Lift burners from cooktop, as shown.

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 2 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. See “Assistance or Service” for ordering instructions.

■For more information, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Department Extension Office. In Canada, contact Agriculture Canada. 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 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.

On some models, griddles with nonstick surfaces should not be used in the broiler.
