Cookware

material

types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly

heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan

bottom. The most popular materials available are:

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food

will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware

resists staining & pitting).

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily (See

Aluminum).

Stainless

- Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking

results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast Iron

- A slow heat conductor however will retain heat

very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature

reached.

Porcelain-enamel

on metal - Heating characteristics will

vary depending on base material.

Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Element

ON indicator

light(s)

Your range is equipped with one or more Element On

indicator light(s) that will glow on your range.

The Element On indicator light is located on the control

panel just above the surface control knobs (See Fig. 1) and

will glow when a surface element is turned ON. A quick

glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy check

to be sure ALL surface controls are turned OFF.

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) website and be

sure to read all the information they have available as well

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 (see

"Cookware material types" in the Before setting

surface controls section).

• 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 I 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 elements at the same time. This can

cause uneven heating results. This can also cause the

ceramic cooktop to fracture (for Ceramic cooktop models
