Home canning information

To protect your range:

l Use flat-bottomed canners for best results. Do not use canners with dented or ridged (porce- lain enamel-ware) bottoms. They do not make good contact with the surface unit and cause severe overheating which damages the cooktop.

l For best results, use the largest surface unit. Also, use a canner which can be centered over the surface unit. Large diameter canners, if not properly centered, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.

lDo 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.

lTo 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 cooktop.

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