Before Setting Surface Controls
About the surface elements
The element
temperature
rises gradually
and evenly. As the
temperature
rises, the element
will glow red.
For efficient
cooking,
turn
OFF the surface
element
just
before
cooking
is complete.
This will
allow
residual
heat
to
complete
the cooking
process.
Surface
elements
may appear
to have
cooled
after they have been turned
off. The surface
element
may still be hot and burns may occur if the
surface
element
is touched
before it has cooled
sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and
pepper shakers,
spoon holders
or plastic wrappings
on fop
of the range when
if is in use. These items could melt or
ignite. Potholders,
towels or wooden
spoons could catch fire
if placed
too close to the surface
elements.
Do not use aluminum
foil to line surface
unit drip bowls, or reflector
pans. Only use aluminum
foil as
recommended
in this manual.
Improper
installation
of these
liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
Do not place aluminum
toll or ANY
maferlal
that could
melt on the surface elements.
Make
sure reflector
pans or drip bowls are in place --
Absence
of these pans or bowls during
cooking
may
subject wiring
or components
underneath
to damage.
Element
On indicator
lights
The ELEMENT ON indicator lights are marked
on the
control
panel and will glow when a surface
cooking
element
is turned ON. A quick glance
at these indicator
lights after cooking
is an easy check to be sure ALL surface
controls
are turned OFF.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe
aii the following
points when
home canning
with your appliance.
Check with the USDA
(United
States Department
of Agriculture)
website
and be
sure to read aii the information
they have available
as weii
as follow
their recommendations
for home canning
procedures.
* 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
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
2
different
surface
cooking
areas
at the same
time.
This
will
cause
uneven
heating
results
and
may
cause
the
ceramic
cooktop
to fracture.
