SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Key-Stuck Function
The cooktop has an automatic switch-off function to
prevent unintended operation that could cause the
cooktop to increase zone settings or activate zones
unattended.
Examples could include a child playing with the con-
trols, a pet stepping on the control, or an object like
a spoon left on the control.
If a control key is held for more than 10 seconds,
the cooktop will sound an alert of 5 tones. If the
key is still held after the alert sound, the cooktop
will switch off. This function will also activate if the
a zone slider is continually held or adjusted for 10
seconds.

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 Agriculture)
Web site and be sure to read all the information
they have available as well as follow their recom-
mendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only a completely fl at bottom canner with
no ridges that radiate from the bottom center
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 beyond the surface element mark-
ings 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, re-
duce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain
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.
