For best results, the cookware should be centered above the burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.
HomeCanning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
■Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
■Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
■For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office, or refer to the USDA Home Canning Guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.
OVEN USE
The normal operation of the range will include several noises that may be heard each time the Bake or Broil burners ignite during the cooking cycle:
■gas valves may make a “popping” sound when opening or closing
■igniters will “click” several times until a flame is sensed
■a “poof” sound is heard when a Bake or Broil burner ignites
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled.
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.

Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature because opening the oven door may cause element cycling to give incorrect readings.
