Canningshouldbe done on the Coil SurfaceUnits or the RadiantUnits only.

Potsthatextendbeyond1inchof thesurfaceunitarenot recommendedformostsurfacecooking.However,when canningwitha water-bathor pressurecanner,larger- diametercookwaremaybe used.Thisisbecauseboiting watertemperatures(evenunderpressure)arenot harmfulto cooktopsurfacessurroundingthesurfaceunit.

HOWEVER,DO NOTUSE LARGEDIAMETER CANNERSOR OTHERLARGEDIAMETERPOTS FOR FRYINGOR BOILINGFOODSOTHER THANWATER.Most syrupor saucemixtures—and all typesof frying-cook at temperaturesmuch higher than boilingwater.Suchtemperaturescould eventuallyharmcooktopsurfacessurroundingthe modulesurfaceunits.

Afteryou have adjustedthe controls,it is very importantto make sure the prescribedboil or pressurelevelsare maintainedfor the requiredtime.

RADMNTGLASSCAU~ONS:

Glasssurfaceunitshavetemperaturelimitersthat help preventthemfrom gettingtoo hot. If the bottomof yourcanneris not flat, the surfaceunitcan overheat, triggeringthe temperaturelimitersto turnthe unit off for a time.This will stopthe boilor reducethe pressurein the canner.

3.When canning,use recipesand proceduresfrom reputablesources.Reliablerecipesand procedures are availablefrom the manufacturerof your canner; manufacturersof glassjars for canning,such as Bdl and Kerr; and the UnitedStatesDepartmentof AgricultureExtensionService.

4.Rememberthat canningis a processthat generates large amountsof steam,To avoidburnsfrom steam or heat, be carefulwhencanning.

NOTE:If yourhousehas low voltage,canningmay take longerthanexpected,eventhoughdirections have been carefullyfollowed.

The processtime will be shortenedby:

(1)using a pressurecanner,and

(2)startingwith HOTtap water for fastest heatingof largequantitiesof water.

Sinceyou mustmake sureto processthe canningjars for theprescribedtime,withno interruptioninprocessing time, you cannotcan on glass surfaceunitsif the bottomof yourcanneris not flat enough.
