cooking area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not centered correctly, trap heat and can cause damage to the cooktop.

•Do not place your canner on two surface cooking areas at the same time.

•The type of material the canner is made of deter- mines the length of heating time. Refer to the “Characteristics of cookware materials” chart later in this section for more information.

•When canning for long periods of time, allow elements and the surrounding surfaces to cool down.

•Alternate use of the surface cooking areas between batches or prepare small batches at a time.

•Start with hot water, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure canner.

•On coil element model, keep your reflector bowls clean so that they will always reflect heat well.

•For up-to-date information on canning, contact your local U.S. Government Agricultural Depart- ment Extension Office or companies who manufacture home canning products.

Optional canning kit

(Coil element model)

Most water-bath or pressure canners have large diameters. If you do canning with them at high heat settings for long periods of time, you can shorten the life of regular coil elements. This can also damage the cooktop. If you plan to use the cook-top for canning, we recommend the installa- tion of a Canning Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from your dealer or authorized service company.
