Home canning information
To protect your range:
l
Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results.
l
For best results, use the largest surface unit.
Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered
over the surface unit and which does not extend
more than one inch outside surface unit area.
Large diameter canners/pans, 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 build-up will damage
the cooktop.
l
Start with hot water. This 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.
Optional canning kit
The large diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can shorten the
life of regular surface units and cause damage to
the cook-top.
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 Roper
dealer or authorized Roper service company.
Positioning racks and pans
For baking/roasting with one rack, the rack
should be placed so the top of the food will be
centered in the oven. Always leave at least
1 l/z
to
2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan
and the oven walls and other pans.
For proper cooking, follow these guidelines
for specific foods:
l
Angel and bundt cakes, yeast breads, frozen
pies, large roasts and turkeys-place rack on
lowest level.
l
Casseroles, muffins, most quick breads and
meats-place rack on second or third level from
bottom.
l
Cookies, biscuits, cakes and non-frozen pies-
place rack on second or third level from bottom.
When baking on two racks, arrange racks on
bottom and third level from bottom.
NOTE: For recommended rack placement when
broiling, see “Broiling rack position chart” on
page 14.
Personal Injury Hazard
l
Always position oven rack(s) in desired
location before turning oven on. Be sure
the rack(s) is level.
l
If rack(s) must be moved while oven is
hot, use potholders or oven mitts to
protect hands.
Failure to follow the above precautions
may result in personal injury.
