Observe the Following Points in Canning

Safety

Right!

Wrong!

Note: Flat-bottomed canners are required for glass cooktops.

Pots that extend beyond 1″ of the surface unit’s circle are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface units.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE- DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE-DIAMETER POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—and all types of frying—cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm the glass cooktop surfaces.

Be sure the canner fits over the center of the surface unit. If your cooktop or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use smaller- diameter pots for good canning results.

Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) because they don’t make enough contact with the surface units and take a long time to boil water.

When canning, use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures are available from the manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as Ball® and Kerr® brand; and the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

Remember that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam or heat, be careful when canning.

NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may take longer than expected, even though directions have been carefully followed. The process time will be shortened by:

(1) using a pressure canner and

( 2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating of large quantities of water.

CAUTION:

■Safe canning requires that harmful microorganisms are destroyed and that the jars are sealed completely. When canning foods in a water-bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained for the required time. When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be maintained for the required time.

■After you have adjusted the controls, it is very important to make sure the prescribed boil or pressure levels are maintained for the required time.

■Since you must make sure to process the canning jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption in processing time, do not can on any cooktop surface unit if your canner is not flat.

JSP42, JSP47 specifications

The GE JSP47 and JSP42 are two of the latest advancements in the realm of high-efficiency heat pump water heaters. Designed for both residential and commercial applications, these models embody the perfect combination of efficiency, performance, and user-friendly features.

Starting with the GE JSP47, this model offers a remarkable 47-gallon capacity, suitable for households with varying hot water needs. One of its standout features is its Energy Factor (EF) rating of up to 3.75, which translates to significant energy savings over traditional electric water heaters. The JSP47 utilizes advanced heat pump technology, which extracts heat from the surrounding air and transfers it to the water. This process not only makes the unit extremely energy-efficient but also environmentally friendly, as it minimizes greenhouse gas emissions.

The JSP42, on the other hand, presents a slightly smaller capacity of 42 gallons, making it an excellent choice for smaller homes or those with less demanding hot water requirements. Despite its size, the JSP42 features similar technologies that enhance its efficiency and performance. With an impressive EF rating and a similar heat pump system, both models incorporate smart technology that optimizes performance based on the user's hot water consumption patterns.

Both the JSP47 and JSP42 are equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to monitor and control their water heater remotely through a dedicated smartphone app. This feature enhances convenience and provides real-time data on energy usage, contributing to better energy management and cost savings.

In terms of installation, both models boast a compact design and can be installed in a variety of locations, including garages, basements, and even closets. Furthermore, the units are engineered with noise reduction in mind, significantly minimizing operational noise compared to traditional water heaters.

Safety is a top priority for GE, and both the JSP47 and JSP42 include built-in safety features such as automatic shut-off and leak detection systems. These features work together to provide peace of mind, ensuring that users can trust their hot water supply without concerns for potential hazards.

In summary, the GE JSP47 and JSP42 water heaters are exemplary models that highlight GE’s commitment to cutting-edge technology, energy efficiency, and user comfort. With their advanced features, high energy factor ratings, and smart connectivity options, these heat pump water heaters stand out as ideal solutions for modern residential and commercial hot water needs.
