• Use the entire surface ("DUAL" setting) of
the left front surface cocking area for best
results.
• When canning for long periods of time, allow
elements and the surrounding surfaces to
cool down.
• Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of
cooktops, especially ceramic glass.
Canners with rippledor ridged bottoms do
not allow good contact with the surface.
• Center the canner over the largest surface
cooking area. Do not extend more than 1 inch
(2.5 cm) outside the surface cookingarea.

Caring for your cooktop
This cooktop is designed for easy care.
However, ceramic glass cooktops need
to be maintained differently than standard
electric coil elements. Foods spilled directly
on the cooktop will not burn off as on coil
elements. Because of this, the surface
should be dust-free and soil-free before
heating.
Your cooktop has been prepolished at
the factory for improved protection and
cleanability. The Cooktop Polishing Creme,
a paper towel or a sponge is all you need to
clean your cooktop. For proper cleaning
methods, please review the =How to keep
your cocktop looking like new" chart. Follow
this chart after each use to ensure top
performance and to preserve that uniquely
elegant look.
NOTE: Let cooktop cool before cleaning.
