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 Agri-
culture) Web site and be sure to read all the infor-
mation they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only a completely fl at bottom canner with
no ridges that radiate from the bottom cen-
ter when home canning. Heat is spread more
evenly when the bottom surface is fl at. Use a
straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• 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 can-
ners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops
and to center canners on the burner grates.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil
more quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when fi rst bringing
the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved,
reduce heat to lowest possible setting to main-
tain that boil.
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions care-
fully. Check with your local Cooperative Agri-
cultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of
glass jars for the latest canning information.
• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on
high heat for an extended amount of time.
Using a Griddle (not included)
Use non-stick cooking spray or oil as needed. Slow-
ly preheating the griddle ensures even heat distri-
bution for best cooking results.
Before fi rst use:
• Wash Griddle in hot soapy water. Rinse and
then dry completely.
After each use:
• Store in a dry place and keep uncovered.
• After each use, clean with a sti brush and hot
water.
Using the Griddle:
• Place the griddle centered over the left side gas
burners.
• Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to
medium low setting. Slow preheat ensures even
heat distribution during the cooking process.
• DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI setting. Pre-
heating on HI may warp the griddle and pre-
vent even heat distribution.
