Whirlpool RC8200XK Cooktop User Manual


 
Accessory Canning Kit (Part No. 242905)
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 cooktop.
If you plan to use the cooktop for canning, we recommend the installation of a
Canning Kit. Order the kit from your Whrr!pool Dealer or Tech-Care Service Company
Use only flat-bottomed utensrls for best results and to prevent damage to the
range. Specialty items with rounded or ridged bottoms (woks, ridged bottom canners
or tea kettles] are not recommended. See the “Cooking Guide” for important utensil
information.
SEE THE “COOKING GUIDE” FOR IMPORTANT CANNING INFORMATION
