canning
information
To protect
your range:
l
Use flat-bottomed
canners/pans
for best
resufts.
l
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.
l
Do not place canner on two surface units at
the same time. Too much heat will build up and
will damage the cooktop.
l
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.
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 cook-top.
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.
l
To prolong the Me of the elements:
- Prepare small batches
at a time.
- Do not use elements
for canning all day.
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
Frozen pies, large
roasts, turkeys
Angel and bundt cakes,
most quick breads, yeast
breads, casseroles,
meats
Cookies, biscuits, muffins,
cakes, nonfrozen pies
2nd level from
bottom
l-4
2nd or 3rd level
from bottom
When baking
on two racks, arrange racks on
bottom and third level from bottom.
NOTE: For recommended
rack placement when
broiling, see "Broiling rack position chart" on
page 14.
Personal
Injury Hazard
l
Always position oven rack(s) in desired
location before turning oven on. Be sure
the rack(s) is level.
l
If rack(s) must be moved while oven is

protect hands.
Failure to follow the above precautions
may result in personal injury.
