Use a Lid That Fits Properly
•
A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking
time.
Specialty Cookware
Pans that span 2 burners, i.e. griddles, roasters and fish
poachers, may be used when placed front to back. Adjust
flame equally to cook evenly.

Figure 11: Cleaning the Cooktop
Use a Wok with a flat bottom.
Canners and pressure cookers must meet the same
requirements as described above. After bringing contents
to a boil, use lowest heat setting possible to maintain a boil
or pressure (for pressure canners/cookers).
•
Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job. Use
clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.
•
Rub stainless steel finishes in the direction of the grain.
Wipe area dry to avoid water marks.
•
Before cleaning, be certain the burners are turned off
and the grates and burners are cool.
•
Do not clean removable cooktop parts in any self-
cleaning oven.
•
After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions
before using cooktop.
•
For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean
and dry.
•
Keep the ignitor ports clean for proper lighting
performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean
these when there is a boilover or when the burner does
not light even though the electronic ignitors click.
•
Do not use flammable cleansers such as lighter fluid or
WD-40.
CAUTION:
All igniters spark when any single burner is
turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when
the cooktop is in use.
