6. Gently clean igniter, including over and under the edge of the 

metal cap and base with a damp cloth.

7. Reassemble center burner. Align the locator pin with the 

locator hole in the outer burner cap to ensure proper 
assembly.

8. Replace the inner burner cap

NOTE: The brass parts of the center burner will change color 
with use. This is normal.

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

alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the 
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

Position burner grate feet in the round grooves at the front and 
back of the cooktop. The position of the feet on each burner 
grate is different to ensure proper placement.

Locator pins and matching grooves are also located on each 
burner grate to ensure proper placement.

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.

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. 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.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material 
characteristics.
