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.
■ For more information, contact your local U.S. Government
Agricultural Department Extension Office. In Canada, contact
Agriculture Canada. Companies that manufacture home
canning products can also offer assistance.
Cooktop Controls
The cooktop controls can be set to 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
the cookware. Single size can be used in the same way as a
regular element. The dual size combines both the single and
outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware,
large quantities of food and home canning.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
