SETTING SURFACE BURNERS
Setting the Simmer Oval Burner
The simmer oval burner is specifically designed for use with
a griddle, and can be used for simmering sauces or foods in
most pots or pans. There are two knobs which control the
separate functions of the simmer oval.
To turn on the full simmer oval use the control knob located
to the left of the oven mode knob. There is an oval icon
marking above the knob.
To access the center burner only, turn the control knob
located to the right of the oven temperature control knob.
Important: Both the simmer oval control and the center
control may be turned on at the same time.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning.
• Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed
1 inch beyond the surface element markings or burner.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
• Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time unless
the cooktop is designed for such a purpose.
