Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube  
opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil  
and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other  
material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the  
gas tube by always using a burner cap.  
Home Canning  
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface  
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently  
used areas to cool.  
A

A. 1-1½" (25-38 mm)  
B. Burner ports  
Cookware  
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface  
cooking area, element or surface burner.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
1. Remove the surface burner grates.  
2. Remove burner cap from the burner base and clean  
according to “General Cleaning” section.  
3. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.  
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the  
broiler.  
4. 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  
trained repair specialist.  
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material  
characteristics.

OVEN USE  
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few  
times, or when it is heavily soiled.  
Bakeware  
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.  
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow  
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size  
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.  
BAKEWARE/RESULTS

On those models with bottom vents, do not block or cover  
the oven bottom vents.  
Dark aluminum and  
other bakeware with  
dark, dull and/or  
nonstick finish  
May need to reduce baking  
temperatures slightly.  
For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil  
because air must be able to move freely.  
Use suggested baking time.  
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.
