Home Canning

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.

Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners at the same time.

On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.

For more information, contact your local agricultural department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

2.Touch the “+” or “-” pad to increase or decrease power.

3.To choose a power level between HI and MELT & HOLD, touch and hold either pad until the desired level has been reached.

4.When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn surface cooking area(s) off individually, or touch ALL OFF to turn all elements off at the same time.
