How to set
the controls
Push the knob down and turn in either
direction to the setting you want. When the
control is in any position other than OFF, it
may be rotated without pushing it down.
At both OFF and HI the control "clicks" into
position. You may hear slight "clicking" sounds
during cooking, indicating the control is
keeping the power level you set.
The controls _br the radiant sur_hce elements
can be set anywhere between LO and HI for
an unlimited number of heat settings. With the
infinite switch the elements cycle on and off to
maintain your selected control setting.
The ON indicator light will glow when an),
surthce element is on.
Cooktop temperatures increase with the
number of surlitce elements that are on.
With 3 or 4 elements turned on, cooktop
temperatures are high, so be carehfl when
touching it.
A HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow
when any radiant element is turned on and
will remain on until the surfhce is cooled to
approximately 150°K

Cookware Tips
Radiator Coohto/)
The following information will help you choose
cookware which will give good performance.
Stair, less Steel: *vcomm_q_ded
Aluminum: hea_Twe_@t *vcomm(q_ded
Good conductivity. Aluminum residue
sometimes appears as scratches on the cooktop
but can be removed if cleaned immediately.
Beca use of its low melting poin t, thin weigh t
ahlFninuFn sho'dld not be used.
Copper: *vcomme_zded
Copper Bottoms: usablt; but not _vcommem&d
Pans with copper bottoms may leave residue
appearing as scratches. Remove any residue
immediately after use. Do not let a pot boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to the glass
cooktop and leave a permanent stain if it is
not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel-Covered Cast Iron:
cPco_lz_ll#?zdcq[
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended ti)r cast-iron cookware that is
not completely covered with smooth porcelain
enamel, since it may scratch the glass ceramic
cooktop.
Glass-Cera_nic: usabh,, bid _zot*v(omme_zch,d
Poor perfiwmance. May scratch the sur_hce.
Stonewaxe: usable, but not r_commem&d
Poor pertbrmance. May scratch the sm'lhce.
Use pans that match the diameter of the
surthce element. Cooking per_brmance will not
be as good if the cookware is either smaller or
larger than the surthce element.
Panswith rounded, curved, ridged or warped
bottoms are not recommended.
Checkpansforflatbottomsby
usingastraightedge.

• Place only dry pans on the sm'ti_ce elenmnts.
Do not place lids on the sm'ti_ce elemei_ts,
particularly wet lids.
• Do not use woks that have support rings.
This type of wok will not heat on glass
sm'liace elemelatS.
• X4'e recommend that wm use only a fiat-
bottomed wok. Thev are available at vom"
local retail store. The bottom of the wok
should have the sanle dianleter as the surface
element to ensm'e i_roper contact.
• Some special cooking procedm'es require
specific cookware such as pressure cookers,
deep-fat flTers, etc. All cookware nlust have
fiat bottoms and be the correct size.
Do not place wet pans onthe
glass cooktop. Do not use woks with support rings on the glass cooktop. Use flat-bottomed woks on the glass cooktop.

Home Canning Tips

canning
Note:Flat-bottomed

forglasscooktops.
Right!
Wrong!
Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of tile surfi_ce
element's circle are not reconm_ended fin" most
surthce cooking. HoweveI; when (mining with
wate>bath or pressure cmmei; lmgei_diameter
pots may be used. This is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure) are not
ham_flfl to the cooktop SUltilces surrouudiug
tile sm_hce elements.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE I,ARGE-DIAA'IETER
CANNERS OR OTHER I,ARGE-D/AA'IETER
POTS FOR FRYING OR BOIIJNG FOODS
OTHER THAN X,\;A_TER.Most syrup or sauce
mixtm'es--and all Qpes of fl'ying---<-ook at
temperatm'es much higher than boiling wateI:
Such temperatm'es could eventually ham_ tile
glass cooktop suitilces.
1. Be sure tile cromer fits over tile center of
the sm_i_ce element. If wmr cooktop or its
location does not allow the cromer to be
centered on the sm_hce element, use smalle>
diameter pots tor good camfing results.
Do not allow the cromer to overlap the
countertop.
2. Flat-bottomed cam_ei5 inust be used. Do uot
use cam_ei5 with flanged or tippled bottoms
(ofleu touud iu eualnelware) because they
don't make enough contact with tile sm'ti_ce
elements and take a long time to boil wateI:
3. When cmming, use recipes and procedm'es
fl'om reputable som'ces. Reliable recipes and
procedm'es are awfilable fl'om tile mmmfi_cmrer
of your cromer; mantlfi_cmrelS of glass jms fin"
camfing, such as Ball and Kerr brand; and the
United States Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
4. Remember that cmming is a process that
generates lmge amounts ot steam. To avoid
burus fl'om steam or heat, be carefld when
camfing.

CAUTION:
•Safe cmufing requires that hmnuful
microorgaJlisms are des_coyed m_d that the jars
are sealed completely. When cmufing foods in a
water-bath cromer, a gentle but steady boil must
be maintained for the required time. When
cmufing foods in a pressure cromer, the pressure
must be maintained for the required thue.
•After you have adjusted the controls, it is very
huportm_t to ma_ke sure the prescribed boil or

•Since you must make sure to process the cmufing
