Whirlpool RC8200XK manual Accessory Canning Kit Part No, Before calling for assistance

Accessory Canning Kit (Part No. 242905)

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure canners combined with high heat settings for long periods of time can shorten the life of regular surface units and

cause damage

to the

cooktop.

If you

plan

to use the

cooktop

for canning,

we

recommend

the

installation

of a

Canning Kit. Order the kit from your Whrr!pool Dealer or Tech-Care Service Company

Use

only

flat-bottomed

utensrls

for best

results

and

to

prevent

damage

to the

range. Specialty

items

with

rounded

or ridged

bottoms

(woks,

ridged

bottom canners

or tea kettles]

are

not

recommended.

See the

“Cooking

Guide”

for

important

information.
