SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Home Canning

Be sure to read and observe all the following points when

home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA

(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be

sure to read all the information they have available as well

as follow their recommendations for home canning

procedures.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled

after they have been turned off. The glass surface may

still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is

touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and

pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on

top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt

or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could

catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.

CAUTION

Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.

Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom (see

“Cookware material types” in the Before setting

surface controls section).

Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no

ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home

canning using a ceramic cooktop.

• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not

exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element

markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller

diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass

cooktops.

Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more

quickly.

Use the highest heat seating when first bringing the water

to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest

possible setting to maintain that boil.

IMPORTANT

NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 different

surface cooking areas at the same time. This may cause

the ceramic cooktop to fracture.

IMPORTANT

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can

melt to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop.

If these items melt on the cooktop they will damage the

ceramic cooktop.
