Radiant Glass Cooktop
Home Canning Tips
USING THE COOKTOP:5DGLDQW*ODVV&RRNWRS+RPH&DQQLQJ7LSV
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a
smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is
used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new
parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a
short time.
NOTE: This cooktop has Rapid Response surface units.
The cooktop will automatically heat up or cool down
to the desired power level setting in the quickest time
possible. While the surface units are on, you may not
see them glow red during certain heat up or cool down
conditions.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of
surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on,
surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when
touching the cooktop.
%HVXUHWKHFDQQHULVFHQWHUHGRYHUWKHVXUIDFHXQLW
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when

Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cooktop
is cleaned immediately. However, do
not let these pots boil dry. Overheated
