2.Pull the coil element straight away from the receptacle.

3.Lift out the burner bowl.

To Replace:

1.Line up openings in the burner bowl with the coil element receptacle.

2.Holding the coil element as level as possible, slowly push the coil element terminal into the receptacle.

3.When the terminal is pushed into the receptacle as far as it will go, push down the edge of the coil element opposite the receptacle.

Lift-up Cooktop

(on some models)

The lift-up cooktop provides easy access for cleaning beneath. Do not drop the cooktop. Damage could occur to the finish and the cooktop frame. For more information, see the “General Cleaning” section.

To Lift:

Lift the cooktop by both front corners until the supports lock into place.

To Replace:

1.Lift the cooktop from both sides while pressing the support rods back to unlock them.

2.Slowly lower the cooktop into place.

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. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.

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 instructions on how to order.

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.

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