A:AnswerThank you for checking on this with us. Canning should be done on surface units only. Normally, pots that extend beyond one inch of the cooking element's trim ring are not recommended for most surface cooking; however, when canning with a water-bath, pressure canner, or pressure cooker, larger diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units. Observe the following points in canning: Do not use large diameter canners or other large diameter pots for frying or boiling foods other than water. Flat bottomed canners must be used. When canning, use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from canning jar manufacturers and county extension offices. Remember that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam and heat. Use extreme caution.
A:AnswerThis range model does not have the self-clean feature. The oven has to be cleaned manually, however, the smooth surface and rounded corners make clean-up quick and easy.
A:AnswerI wish I could replace the sensor burners. when you are trying to boil a large pot of water with pasta, etc. the sensors turn down and the water stops boiling. Therefore I keep switching from burner to burner to keep the water boiling. Can I replace sensor burners with regular one?

A:AnswerIt is not possible to determine the life expectancy of an appliance, even an approximate age. There are many variables involved that include frequency of use, type of use, location of appliance (ex. high humidity; near the ocean; etc.), as well as the way you care for or maintain the appliance.
A:AnswerNo, The little button in the center of the coils is a temperature sensor.
If the pan gets to hot the coils will cool down untill the stove thinks it safe to heat up again (about 30 seconds to a minute ) Its a safety feature to prevent a fire.
If there is no pan on the burner it will stay hot untill you turn it off at switch.
