Home Canning Tips
Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.
Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.
To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when
canning.
Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources.
These are available from manufacturers such as Ball
®
and Kerr
®
and the Department of Agriculture Extension
Service.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water
bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time
required to bring the water to a boil.
Temperature Limiter on Radiant Glass Cooktops
Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from
getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the surface units off
for a time if:
the pan boils dry.
the pan bottom is not flat.
the pan is off-center.
there is no pan on the unit.
For Models With a Radiant Glass Cooktop
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a
smooth glass surface.
NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is
used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new
parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a
short time.
NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is
normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot
or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as
the glass cools to room temperature.
The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your
selected control setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware on the glass surface
even when the cooktop is cool.
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass
cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To
avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units
when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the
surface unit until it has cooled completely.
Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using
the cleaning cream or full-strength white vinegar.
Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on
the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this film.
Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they
drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.
