SURFACE CONTROLS
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when 
home canning with your appliance:
Use only quality flat bottom canners when home 
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges 
that radiate from the bottom center when home 
canning. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom 
surface is flat.
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 and to center 
canners on the burner grates.
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.
Check with the USDA (United States Department of 
Agriculture) 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 tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. 
Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural 
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.
Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the 
units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to 
avoid canning on the same burner unit all day.
Element on indicator lights
Your range is equipped with one or more element on 
indicator lights located on the control panel just above the 
surface control knobs (See 
). The element on 
indicator light will glow when a surface element is turned on. 
A quick glance at this indicator light after cooking is an easy 
check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.
Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two 
different surface cooking elements at the same time 
unless the utensil is designed for that purpose. This can 
cause uneven heating results. This can also cause the 
ceramic cooktop to fracture (for ceramic cooktop models 
only).
IMPORTANT
Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use 
extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to 
vent steam away from you.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are 
destroyed and the jars are sealed completely. When 
canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but steady boil 
must be maintained continuously for the required time.
