USING YOUR COOKTOP

Using the surface burners (cont.)

Using the control knobs

Your cooktop comes with electric ignitors. Electric

ignitors automatically

light the burners each

time you turn the

control knobs to LITE.

•Place a filled pan on

the burner grate before

turning on the surface

burner. Do not operate

a burner for extended

periods of time without

having cookware on

the grate.

•Push in the control knob and turn it counter-

clockwise to the LITE position. The clicking

sound is the ignitor sparking. Make sure the

burner has lit.

•To stop the clicking sound after the burner lights,

turn the control knob to the cook setting you

want. You can set the control knob anywhere

between HI and LO.

NOTE: All four electric ignitors will click at the same

time. However, the burner with the control knob

turned to LITE is the one that will ignite.

NOTE: Do not leave empty cookware, or cookware

which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The

cookware could overheat causing damage to the

cookware or cooking product.

Burner heat settings

Use the following chart as a guide.

Energy saving tips

•When heating large quantites of liquid for foods

such as pasta or soup, cover with a lid to help

shorten cooking time.

•Preheat your pots and pans only when

recommended and for the shortest time possible.

•Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn

the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.

•To start food cooking.

•To bring liquid to a boil.

•To hold a rapid boil.

•To fry chicken or pancakes.

•For gravy, pudding and icing.

•To cook large amounts of

vegetables.

•To keep food cooking after

The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and how

evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.

• Use for all types of cooking.

• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.

• Good for browning and frying.

• Maintains heat for slow cooking.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

Ceramic or

ceramic glass • Heats slowly and unevenly.

• Use on low to medium settings.

• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.

• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.

Earthenware • Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the

manufacturer.

• Use on low settings.

Porcelain enamel-on-steel or

enamel-on-cast iron • See cast iron and stainless steel.

Stainless steel • Heats quickly but unevenly.

•

A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides

even heating.

• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

USING YOUR COOKTOP

In case of a prolonged power

failure

You can manually light surface burners. Hold a lit

match near a burner and turn the control knob to

the LITE position. After the burner lights, turn the

control knob to the setting you want.

Home canning information

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure

canners combined with high heat settings for long

periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.

To protect your cooktop:

•Center the canner over the surface burner. Do

not extend more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) outside the

burner area.

•Do not place your canner on two surface burners

at the same time.

•Start with hot water, cover with a lid and bring to

a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or

required pressure levels in a pressure canner.

•

Refer to your canner manual for specific

instructions.

For up-to-date information on canning in the

United States, contact your local U.S. Government

Agricultural Department Extension Office or

companies who manufacture home canning

products. In Canada, contact Agriculture Canada.

Using the right cookware makes a

big difference

•The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides,

and a well-fitting lid.

•Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)

cookware.

•The pan material (metal or glass) affects how

quickly and evenly the pan heats.

•When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to

make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.

•To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are

centered on the grates.
