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.
•Use only quality at 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 completelyatbottomcanner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home
canning using a ceramic cooktop.
•Makesurethediameterofthecannerdoes

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 rst bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 differ-
ent surface cooking areas at the same time. This may
cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.
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.
• 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 sufciently.
• Donotplaceammableitemssuch as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These
items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or
wooden spoons could catch re if placed too close to
the surface elements.
