•Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of cooktops, especially ceramic glass. Canners with rippled or ridged bottoms do not allow good contact with the surface.

•Center the canner over the largest surface cooking area. Do not extend more than one inch outside the surface 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 determines 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.

and bring to a boil; then reduce heat to

maintain a boil or required pressure levels

in a pressure canner.

• On coil element models, keep your

reflector bowls clean so that they will always

reflect heat well.

Optional canning kit

(Coil element models)

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 cooktop for canning, we recommend the installation of a Canning Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from your dealer or authorized service company.
