Home canning informaation
To protect your range:
l
Use
flat-bottomed canners/pans for best
results.
l
Use the largest surface unit for best
results. 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. Largle diameter
canners/pans, if not property centered, trap
heat and can cause damage to the
cooktop.
l
Do not place canner on two
surface units
at the same time. Too much heat will build
up and will damage the cooktcp.
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 cooktop.
If you plan to use the cook-top for canning,
we recommend the installation of a Canning
Kit. Order the kii (Part No. 242905) from
your Whirlpool dealer or authorized
WhirlpoolSM service company.
Positioning racks and pans
For baking/roasting with one
wrack, place
the rack so the top of the food will be
centered in the oven.
