Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
• Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking
area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not
extend more than _/2"(1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking
area or element.
• Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or
surface burners at the same time.
• On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.
On coil element models, the installation of a Canning Unit Kit
is recommended. If a kit is not installed, the life of the coil
element will be shortened. See "Assistance or Service" for
ordering instructions.
For more information, contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office. 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 or grates. 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 afactor 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.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the
broiler.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.
• Suitable for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for
most cooking tasks.
Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or • Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Ceramic glass • Heats slowly, but unevenly.
• Ideal results on low to medium heat
settings.
Copper • Heats very quickly and evenly.
Earthenware • Follow manufacturer's instructions.
• Use on low heat settings.
Porcelain • See stainless steel or cast iron.
enamel-on-

iron
Stainless steel • Heats quickly, but unevenly.
• A core or base of aluminum or copper
on stainless steel provides even
heating.

OVENUSE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-
ventilated room.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or
cookware.
• On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover
the oven bottom vents.
• Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to
move freely for best cooking results.
• To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1/2"(1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or
bottom.
RACKS
Position racks before turning the oven on. Do not move racks
with bakeware on them. Make sure racks are level. For best
performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack so the top of food
will be centered in the oven. To move a rack, pull it out to the stop
position, raise the front edge, then lift out.

BROILER
The broiler is located below the oven door. The broiler pan and
grid slide out for easy access. Always broil with the broiler and
oven doors closed.
• To avoid damage to the broiler, do not step on or apply
weight to the broiler door while it is open.
• Do not preheat broiler before use. Completely close broiler
door during broiling.
• Do not use broiler cavity for storage.
• Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance.
It is designed to drain juices and help avert spatter and
smoke.
• For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to avert curling.
• Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
• After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
To Broil:
1. Open the broiler door and take out the broiler pan and grid.
2. Place food on the grid so grease can drain down into the
lower part of the broiler pan.
3. Place the pan on the broiler rack and close the broiler door.
4. Push in and turn the oven control knob to broiler position. The
temperature can be lowered at anytime during the broiling by
turning the oven control knob to the desired temperature.
5. Push in and turn oven control knob to OFF position when
finished.
BROILING CHART

cuenta. P6ngase en contacto con un tecnico de reparaci6n
competente.
AI preparar enlatados durante per(odos prolongados, alterne el
uso de las Areas de cocci6n exteriores, elementos o quemadores
exteriores entre cada Iote. Esto da tiempo para que las Areas
usadas recientemente se enfrfen.
• Centre el envasador en la parrilla o el Area o elemento de
cocci6n exterior mas grande. En las superficies de cocci6n
electricas, los envasadores no deben extenderse mas de
1/2"(1,3 cm) fuera del Area o elemento de cocci6n.
• No coloque el envasador sobre dos Areas de cocci6n
exteriores, elementos o quemadores exteriores a la vez.
• En modelos con ceramica vitrificada, use Qnicamente
envasadores de fondo llano.
En modelos con elementos en espiral, se recomienda la
instalaci6n de un equipo para envasar. De no instalarlo, la
duraci6n del elemento en espiral se acortara. Vea la secci6n
"Ayuda o servicio tecnico" para obtener las instrucciones de
c6mo pedirlo.
Para mayor informaci6n, p6ngase en contacto con la U.S.
Government Agricultural Department Extension Office
(Oficina de Extensi6n del Departamento de Agricultura del
Gobierno de los EE.UU.) de su Iocalidad. Las compad(as que
fabrican productos para enlatado casero tambien 3ueden
ayudarle.
IMPORTANTE: No deje utensilios de cocina vacios encima de un
Area de cocci6n exterior, elemento o quemador exterior caliente.
Los utensilios de cocina ideales deben tener un fondo piano,
lados rectos, una tapa que encaje bien y el material debe ser de
un espesor mediano a grueso.
Las superficies asperas pueden arar_ar la superficie de cocci6n o
las parrillas. El aluminio y el cobre pueden emplearse como
nQcleo o base en los utensilios de cocina. Sin embargo, al ser
usados como base, pueden dejar marcas permanentes en la
superficie de cocci6n o las parrillas.
El material de los utensilios de cocina es un factor que repercute
en la rapidez y uniformidad en que se transmite el calor, Io cual
afecta los resultados de cocci6n. Un acabado antiadherente
tiene las mismas caracteristicas de su material base. Por
ejemplo, utensilios de aluminio con un acabado antiadherente
tendran las propiedades del aluminio.
No deben usarse utensilios de cocina con superficies
antiadherentes debajo del asador.
Use el siguiente cuadro como guia respecto alas caracterfsticas
del material de los utensilios de cocina.
