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. Canners should not extend more than
½" (1.25 cm) outside the cooking area.
■ 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 U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office. Companies that
manufacture home canning products can also offer
assistance.
Cooktop Controls
The cooktop controls can be set anywhere between HI and LO.
Push in and turn to setting.
Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
Single and Dual-Size Elements
The Dual-Size Elements offer flexibility depending on the size of

outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware,
large quantities of food and home canning.

SINGLE zone anywhere between LO and HI.
2. Turn knob to OFF when finished.
To Use DUAL:
1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise from the OFF
position to the DUAL zone anywhere between LO and HI.
2. Turn knob to OFF when finished.
