4. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do

not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden

toothpick. If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a

trained repair specialist.

5. Replace the burner cap onto the burner base, making sure

the alignment pins are properly aligned with the burner cap.

6. Replace surface burner grates.

7. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap

alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the

burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface

burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently

used areas to cool.

■ Center the canner on the grate.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural

department. Companies that manufacture home canning

products can also offer assistance.

Cookware

IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface

cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a

well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy

thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and

copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However,

when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the

cooktop or grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is

transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has

the same characteristics as its base material. For example,

aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the

properties of aluminum.

Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the

broiler.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material

characteristics.
