Cleaning the Conventional Coil Cooktop
The cooktop cartridge does not need to be removed for normal cleaning.
Never immerse cartridge in water to clean. This can damage wiring. A drain hole within
the cartridge permits drainage of normal spills into the porcelain drain pan where it will
drain into the grease container. Interior and bottom of cartridge may be wiped clean with
detergent solution if necessary.
Cartridge terminals, if dirty, may be polished with S.O.S. pad, but must be cleaned
thoroughly of soap and dried thoroughly before being inserted into the cooktop.
Heating Elements: Under normal conditions, most soil will burn off elements. The
heating elements unplug for your convenience in cleaning the drip pans. Lift slightly
and pull away from receptacle. DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER. To replace elements,
push completely into the receptacle. Make sure the elements fit flat inside the chrome
bowl.
Drip Pans: To keep the like-new appearance, clean frequently and never allow
anything to burn on twice. Remove soiled pans (first remove heating element). Clean
lightly soiled pans with soap and water or clean in dishwasher. Difficult to remove spots
can be cleaned by rubbing lightly with soapy S.O.S. pads or nonabrasive cleansers
such an Bon Ami. To help release burned on soil, soak in a solution of 1/2 cup ammonia
and 1 gallon warm water or boil in 2 quarts of water for 20 minutes. (All drip pans cannot
be boiled at once because element being used must have a drip pan in place.) Do not
use abrasive cleansers, steel wool or cleansers not recommended for use on chrome. A
bluing of the drip pans indicates improper utensil selection and/or using excessively
high heat and cannot be removed.
Stainless Steel #eaL,_: See page 12 for cleaning instructions for stainless steel
areas.

RIGHT WRONG WRONG
Canning should be done on the conventional coil element only. Canning element accessory,
Model A145, makes it possible to use large oversized, flanged or rippled bottom utensils with
conventional coil cartridge.
Follow These Procedures When Canning
• Bring water to boil at HI setting; after boiling has begun, reduce heat to lowest setting
that will maintain boiling.
• Make certain canner fits over center of surface unit and is not supported by the rim of
the cartridge. If it cannot be centered properly, use a smaller diameter utensil.
• Flat-bottomed canners give the best canning results. Canners with other than flat
bottoms, such as flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamel ware) should not
be used.
• Usecanningrecipesfromareputablesourcesuchasthemanufacturerofyourcanner,
manufacturers of canning jars and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Extension
Service.
• Remember that canning is a process that creates large amounts of steam. Be careful
and follow equipment instructions to avoid burns from steam or hot utensils.
• Remember that if your area has low voltage at times, canning may take longer than
indicated by the directions.
