Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches.
This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking
area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not
extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking
area or element.
■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or
surface burners at the same time.
■ On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners.
■ For more information, contact your local agricultural
department. Companies that manufacture home canning
products can also offer assistance.
Cooktop Controls - Touch-Activated
Custom Control Temperature Management System
The electronic touch controls offer a variety of heat settings for
optimal cooking results. When melting foods such as chocolate
or butter, the surface cooking area can be set to MELT & HOLD
for very low temperature operation.
To keep cooked foods warm or to heat serving dishes, the
surface cooking area can be set to KEEP WARM.
For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch-activated
controls can be set to HI when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid
boil. Touch the “-” pad to immediately reach the HI setting.
NOTE: This cooktop automatically adjusts for 208V operation
without affecting cooking performance.
To Use:
1. Touch ON/OFF.
2. Touch the “+” or “-” pad to increase or decrease power.
3. To choose a power level between HI and MELT & HOLD,
touch and hold either pad until the desired level has been
reached.
4. When finished cooking, touch ON/OFF to turn surface
cooking area(s) off individually, or touch ALL OFF to turn all
elements off at the same time.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
