Home canning information
To protect your range:
• Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best
resuKs.
• Use the largest surface unit for best
results. Also, use a canner/pan which can
be centered over the surface unit and
which does not extend more than one inch
outside surface unit area. Large diameter
canners/pans, if not properly centered, trap
heat and can cause damage to the
cooktop.
• Do not place canner on two surface units
at the same time. Too much heat will build
up and will damage the cooktop.
• Start with hot water. This reduces the
time the control is set on high. Reduce
heat setting to lowest position needed to
keep water boiling.
• Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat
reflection.
• To prolong the life of the elements:
- Prepare small batches at a time.
- Do not use elements for canning all
day.
Optional canning kit
The large diameter of nvDst 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.
Rack placement for specific foods:
FOOD RACK POSITION
Frozen pies, large
roasts, turkeys Lowest level or
2nd level from
bottom
Angel and bundt
cakes, most quick
breads, yeast
breads, casseroles,
meats
2nd level from
bottom
Cookies, biscuits,
muffins, cakes,
nonfrozen pies 2nd or 3rd level
from bottom
NOTE: For recommended rack placement
when broiling, see “Broiling rack position
chart” on page 13.
^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
