Observe the Following Points in Canning
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the
surface unit. If your cooktop or its locdtion
does not allow the canner to be centered on the
surface unit, use smaller diameter pots for good
canning results.
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use
canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often
found in enamelware) because they don't make
enough contatt with the surface units and take
too long to boil water.
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.
CAUTION:
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms
are destroyed and that the jars are sealed
completely. When canning foods in a water-bath

The cooktop surface units have temperature
limiters that prevent the glass cooktop from getting
too hot. If the bottom of your canner is not flat, the
surface unit can overheat, triggering the
temperature limiters to turn the unit off for a time.
This will stop the boil or reduce the pressure in
the canner.
Since yo!l must make sure to process the canning
jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption
