BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Install Burner Grates
To install burner grates, place the grates fl at-side
down and align them into the cooktop recess..
IMPORTANT
• Make sure the burner grates are proper-
ly placed on the cooktop before using the
surface burners (Figure 4). The grates are
designed to rest inside the recess on the
cooktop.
• Grates should rest fl ush against each other
and against the sides of the recess.
• Do not line the area underneath the grates or
any part of the cooktop with aluminum foil or
with any other lining.

Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points
when home canning with your appliance. Check
with the USDA (United States Department of Ag-
riculture) website and be sure to read all the infor-
mation they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only a completely fl at bottom canner with
no ridges that radiate from the bottom cen-
ter when home canning. Heat is spread more
evenly when the bottom surface is fl at. Use a
straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not
exceed 1 inch (25mm) beyond the surface ele-
ment markings or burner.
• It is recommended to use smaller diameter can-
ners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops
and to center canners on the burner grates.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil
more quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when fi rst bringing
the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved,
reduce heat to lowest possible setting to main-
tain that boil.
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions care-
fully. Check with your local Cooperative Agri-
cultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of
glass jars for the latest canning information.
• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on
high heat for an extended amount of time.
