Can I can?
Canning is not recommended with any
of the Amana smoothtop ranges or
cooktops due to the intense heat and
large cookware required to can.
The heat generated by the canning
cookware overheats both the elements
and the smoothtop of the cooMop. This
may cause the smoothtop to crack, cause
failure of the heating elements, and may
cause overheating of the surrounding
walls.
Damage incurred by canning, or
attempting to can, using the smoothtop
cooktop is not covered under warranty.
