Maytag W10667173A User Manual

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material 
characteristics.

Use flat-bottomed cookware for best cooking results and energy 
efficiency. The cookware should be about the same size as the 
cooking area outlined on the cooktop. Cookware should not extend 
more than ½" (1.3 cm) outside the area.

Canning can be performed on a glass smooth top cooking surface 
or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods, 
alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between 
batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

■

Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or 
element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend 
more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or 
element.

■

Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at 
the same time.

■

On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to 
avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.

■

For more information, contact your local agricultural extension 
office, or refer to published home canning guides. Companies 
that manufacture home canning products can also offer 
assistance.

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few 
times, or when it is heavily soiled.

certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-
ventilated room.
