Canning is not recommended with any
of the Amana smoothtop ranges or

large cookware required to can.
The heat generated by the canning
cookware overheats both the elements

may cause the smoothtop to crack,
cause fifilure of the heating elements,
and may cause overheating of the
surrounding walls.
Damage incurred by canning, or
attempting to can, using the smoothtop
