Home canning information

To protect your range:

l Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results. l For best results, use the largest surface unit.

Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered over the surface unit and which does not extend more than one inch outside surface unit area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not properly centered, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.

l Do not place canner on two surface units at the same time. Excessive heat build-up will damage the cooktop.

l Start with hot water. This reduces the time the control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to lowest position needed to keep water boiling.

l Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat reflection.

l To prolong the life of the elements: -Prepare small batches at a time.

-Do not use elements for canning all day.

Optional canning kit

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 cook-top.

If you plan to use the cooktop for canning, we recommend the installation of a Canning Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from your Roper dealer or authorized Roper service company.

Positioning racks and

For baking/roasting with one rack, the rack should be placed so the top of the food will be centered in the oven. Always leave at least 1l/z to 2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan and the oven walls and other pans.

For proper cooking, follow these guidelines for specific foods:

l Angel and bundt cakes, yeast breads, frozen pies, large roasts and turkeys-place rack on lowest level.

l Casseroles, muffins, most quick breads and meats-place rack on second or third level from bottom.

l Cookies, biscuits, cakes and non-frozen pies- place rack on second or third level from bottom.

When baking on two racks, arrange racks on bottom and third level from bottom.

NOTE: For recommended rack placement when broiling, see “Broiling rack position chart” on page 14.
