CAUTION
• Turn off all cooktop elements before starting to
avoid getting a false result.
• The indicator is not available if more than two
cooktop elements are in use.
NOTE
• The cookware compatibility indicator is based on
the manufacturer's internal standards and is for
reference only.
• The indicator may vary depending on the usage
environment, power voltage and cookware
temperature.
• The indicator may vary from element to element
even for the same type of cookware.
• For efficient cooking, use cookware with an
indicator of 9 or above.
Indicator

4 - 8

• If the indicator is low, check the base material,
size and shape of the cookware. Cookware with a
low indicator, even if it has an IH mark, may heat
less efficiently or make noise when heated. This
is normal, and the cookware can still be used
safely.
Home Canning
CAUTION
• Canning can generate large amounts of steam.
Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Raise the
lid so that steam is vented away from you. Safe
canning requires that harmful micro-organisms
are destroyed and jars are sealed completely.
When using a water bath canner, maintain a
gentle but steady boil for the required time.

Read and observe the following precautions when
home canning. Read the information on the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website
and follow the recommendations there for home
canning procedures.
• Use only quality, flat-bottomed canners when
home canning. Use a ruler to check the bottom
of the canner for flatness.
• Canners with ridges that radiate from the
bottom center are not suitable for use on a
ceramic glass cooktop.
• The diameter of the canner should not exceed
the maximum cooking element markings by
more than one inch. Use smaller diameter
canners on ranges with ceramic-glass or open-
coil-electric cooktops.
• Start with hot tap water to boil water more
quickly. Bring water to an initial boil using the
highest heat setting. Once the water is boiling,
reduce the heat as much as possible while
maintaining the boil.
• It is best to can small amounts and keep the
canner light enough to lift.
• Do not leave the water bath or pressure canners
on high heat for extended periods.
• Alternate surface elements between each batch
to allow the elements and surrounding surfaces
to cool down. Do not can using the same
element all day.
