Home canning information
To protect your range:
l
Use flat-bottomed canners for best results. Do
not use canners with dented or ridged (porce-
lain enamel-ware) bottoms. They do not make
good contact with the surface unit and cause
severe overheating which damages the
=-)P-
l
For best results, use the largest surface unit.
Also, use a canner which can be centered over
the surface unit. Large diameter canners, if not
properly centered, trap heat and can cause
damage to the cooktop.
l
Do not place canner on twu 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
ref &ion.
l
To prolong the life of the elements:
-Prepare small batches at a time.
-Do not use elements for canning all day.
