cooktop, it has been
designed to be used on
the large burners only,
with burner settings in the
medium to low range on

ing food at a low tempera-

minum to evenly spread the heat over the bottom of

The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure
canners combined with high heat settings for long
periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop
and/or surrounding areas.
To protect your cooktop:
,, Center the canner over the surface burner.
,_Do not let the canner extend beyond the grate
edges.
®Start with hot water, cover with a lid and bring to a
boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or
required pressure levels in a pressure canner.
