The grates located on the left and right side of the cooktop 
contain grooves. These grooves must always face inward toward 
the control knob panel to hold the grates in place. On some 
models, the middle grate must be placed in position first, 
followed by the left and right grates.

The locator pin on the grate must be positioned in the burner cap 
hole to hold the grate in place.

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
