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.

l Do not place canner on two surface units at the same time. Excessive heat buildup will damage the cooktop.

l Start with hot water. Th’is 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.

l To prolong the life of the elements: -Prepare small batches at a time.

-Do not use elements for canning all day.
