KitchenAid 30-Inch 4 Burner Gas Cooktop, Architect® Series II 使用とお手入れ

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.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and 
the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning 
products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless 
otherwise noted.

To avoid damage to the product finish, do not use soap-filled 
scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Polishing Creme, 
steel wool pads, gritty washcloths or some paper towels.

Rub in direction of grain to avoid damaging.
