Optional canning kit
The large diameter of most water-bath or
pressure canners combined with high heat
settings for long periods of time can shorten
the life of regular surface units and cause
damage to the cooktop.
If you plan to use the cooktop for canning,
we recommend the installation of a Canning
Kit. Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from
your Roper dealer or authorized Roper
service company.
Positioning racks and pans
For baking/roasting with one rack,
place
the rack so the top of the food will be
centered in the oven.

^WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
• 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 pothokJers or oven mitts
to protect hands.
Failure to follow the above precautions
could result in personal injury.
For best air circulation
The hot air must circulate around the pans in the
oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.
This results in better baking.
• Place
the pans so that one is not directly over
the other.
• For best results, allow
1 to 2 inches
(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and
between pans artd oven walls. There must be
a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).
• Use
only one cookie sheet in the oven at one
time.
Use the following as a guide to determine
where to place the pans:
One pan
Place in the center of the oven rack.
Two pans
Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.
Three or four pans
Place in opposite corners on each oven rack.
Stagger pans so no pan is directly over another.
