Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball® and Kerr® and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

Troubleshooting Tips

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the cooktop.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Do not use round bottom woks. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
