Check for proper burner cap placement
Visually check for proper burner cap placement before
operating any of the surface burners (See Fig.1).
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups and avoid creation of harmful
by-products, do not use the cooktop without all burner
caps properly installed to insure proper ignition and gas
flame size.
CAUTION
To avoid possible burns DO NOT touch burner caps or
surface burner grates after using any of the surface
burners. The surface burner grates, caps, and areas
around them may still be very hot. Provide sufficient
time for these areas and the parts to completely cool
before handling.
If any of the surface burner caps appears to be resting
unevenly, not centered or appears unlevel on the burner
head (Fig. 2), be sure to correct the burner cap position on
the burner head before starting the surface burner.

complete detailed information about cleaning the burner
caps and proper burner cap placement.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using the griddle
Before first use:
• Wash griddle in hot soapy water.
• Rinse and dry completely.
Using the griddle:
Remove the center burner grate (some models) and
carefully replace with the griddle.
For best results, preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on
medium or a medium low setting. Slow preheating
provides more even heat distribution during the cooking
process. Do not preheat the griddle on Hi setting.
Preheating using a Hi burner setting may warp the griddle
and prevent even heat distribution.
After each use:
• To prevent possible rusting, store in a dry place and keep
uncovered.
• After each use, clean with a stiff brush and hot water
only, then rinse.
• Dry immediately.
• Do not clean griddle in the dishwasher.

Home canning

Be sure to review all the following recommendations when
home canning using your appliance.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• 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.
• When using two canners at the same time, stagger the
canners on the left and right sides of the cooktop. This
will help distribute the heat generated more evenly.
Be sure to review the latest online information for home
canning. Some suggestions might be the U.S. Department
of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service or the
National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP).
