Cooking tips

Canning
CAUTION: Be careful when raising or
lowering the downdraft. Be sure pots,
pot handles and other objects are clear of the
downdraft and cannot be struck or tipped by
the downdraft being raised.
NOTE: There is a slight trim overhang at each
end of the vent.
• To avoid injury, be sure fingers are clear of
the downdraft cover when it is being lowered.
• Keep hands and fingers away from all
downdraft parts.
The high air movement of this downdraft
system can increase the cooking times for some
foods. It may take longer to reach high cooking
temperatures if the downdraft is turned to high
right away. Adjust the fan speed for best
cooking results.
For best results when heating oil for deep frying
or when boiling water, use the front surface
units or wait until the water is boiling or the oil
is at frying temperatures before turning on the
downdraft.
The downdraft may not completely capture all
the steam from pans on the front burners.
When canning foods in a water-bath canner,
a gentle but steady boil must be maintained
continuously for the required time.
When canning foods in a pressure canner, the
pressure must be maintained continuously for
the required time.
Be careful when raising or lowering the downdraft.
Use of the blower at HI speed when canning
may reduce the temperature enough to stop
boiling. While canning, we recommend using
the downdraft at LO speed and using the front
surface unit.
