BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Element On and Hot Surface Indicator Lights
When a burner is turned on the ELEMENT ON indicator 
light will glow. The HOT SURFACE indicator light will turn 
on when the burner is hot enough to cause burns and will 
remain on until the surface has cooled to a safe tempera-
ture after the burner is turned off. The ELEMENT ON 
indicator light will glow when one or more elements are 
turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when 
cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface 
elements are turned off.   
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) Web site and be 
sure to read all the information they have available as well 
as follow their recommendations for home canning proce-
dures.
Home Canning Do’s and Don’ts
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.
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.
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.
