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.

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 above the burner. 

■

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.

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.
