Burner ports: Check burner flames occasionally
for proper size
and shape as shown above. A good flame is blue in color, not
yellow. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food,
cleaning agents or any other material to enter the burner ports.
To Clean:
IMPORTANT:
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach
or rust removers.
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to "General Cleaning" section.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do
not enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden
toothpick.
If the burner needs to be adjusted, contact a Sears
trained repair specialist.
4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins are
properly aligned with the burner cap.

The SURESIMMER
TM
burner is an adjustable heat setting for
more precise simmering and low temperature
cooking. It is the
right rear burner.
To Use:
1. Push the right rear burner control knob in and turn counter-
clockwise to "LITE," then to "LO."
Turn knob to OFF when finished.
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 1/2"(1.3 cm) outside the cooking area.
•
Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas, elements
or surface burners at the same time.
•
For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. 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, a well-
fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. 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 a factor 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.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material
characteristics.

Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, check cap
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself, but contact a trained repair specialist.
