Home canning information
The large diameter of rrrast water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can cause
damage to the cooktop.
To protect your range:
• For best results, use a canner which can be
centered over the surface burner.
• Do not place canner on two surface burners at
the same time. Too much heat will build up and
will damage the cooktop.
• Start whh hot water. This reduces the time the
control is set on high. Reduce heat setting to
lowest position needed to keep water boiling.
Positioning racks and pans
For baldng/roasting with one rack, place the
rack so the top of the food will be centered in the

6th oven rack position
(roasting rack)
When roasting food too large to be placed in
oven with rack in lowest position, place rack on
bottom of oven.
For proper roasting, follow these guidelines:
• The rack must be level.
• Use adequate amount of liquid (meat juices or
water) so food does not get overdone.
• Do not try to pull rack out over door. Rack will
be at the same level as door when door is
opened.
^WARNING

• Always position oven rack(s) in desired
location before turning oven on. Be sure
the rack(s) is level.
• If rack(s) must be moved while oven is
hot, use potholders or oven mitts to
protect hands.
• Do not place items on the open oven door.
• Be careful when installing and removing
large food items from sixth rack position.
Food will be close to hot surfaces,
including oven bottom and sides.
Failure to follow the above precautions
may result in personal injury.
