Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning using your appliance.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not
exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element
markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller
diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass
cooktops.
• When using two canners at the same time, stagger the
canners on the left and right sides of the cooktop. This
will help distribute the heat generated more evenly.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2
different surface cooking areas at the same time. This
may cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.
Home Canning
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass
cooktop. If these items melt on the cooktop they will
damage the ceramic cooktop.
• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These
items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or
wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to
the surface elements.
Be sure to review the latest online information for home
canning. Some suggestions might be the
U.S. Department
of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service
or the
National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP).
