Before Setting Surface Controls
Cooktop Lockout (--)
Use the Cooktop Lockout to lock all surface elements from being
accidentally turned on. This feature will only lockout the cooktop
features.
To turn the Cooktop Lockout feature ON:
1. Be sure all surface element controls are off.
2. Press and hold COOKTOP LOCKOUT key until acceptance
tone sounds (about 3 seconds).
When the cooktop is locked, the cooktop locked indicator icon
will appear in the oven control display window (Figure 11).

The (--) message will appear in the cooktop display windows
whenever the cooktop lockout feature is active (Figure 12).

If a triple beep sounds (entry error tone) instead, check and be
sure all surface elements are turned off before activating the
cooktop lockout feature.
To turn the Cooktop Lockout feature off:
Press and hold COOKTOP LOCKOUT key until acceptance tone
sounds (about 3 seconds). The cooktop locked indicator light will
turn off and the cooktop may be used for normal cooking oper-
ations.
Important notes:
If cooktop lockout is active and a power failure occurs, when
power is restored the cooktop will remember the setting and
remain locked. Starting a Self Clean cycle will automatically
turn on the cooktop lockout feature. The cooktop will remain
locked until the self clean cycle is finished and the oven door
has unlocked.
Be sure to read the detailed instructions for ceramic glass
cooktop maintenance and cleaning in the Care & Cleaning and
Before You Call sections of this Use & Care Guide.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) website and be sure to read
all the information they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
Tips and procedures for canning foods:
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
• Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning
using a ceramic cooktop.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1/2
inch beyond the surface element markings or burner. It is
recommended to use smaller diameter canners on electric
coil and ceramic glass cooktops.
Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more quickly.
Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest
possible setting to maintain that boil.
Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different
surface cooking areas at the same time. This will cause
uneven heating results and may cause the ceramic cooktop
to fracture.
