Home Canning Information
To Protect Your Range:
1.
Use flat-bottomed
canners
for best results. Do not use canners
with dented
or ridged
(porcelain
enamel-ware]
bottoms. They do not make good
contact
with the surface unit and cause severe over-heating
which
damages
the cooktop.
2. For best results, use a canner
which can be centered
over the surface unit.
Large diameter
canners,
if not properly
centered,
trap heat and can
cause damage
to the cooktop.
3. Do not place
canner
on two surface units at the same time. Excessive
heat
build-up
will damage
the cooktop.
4. Alternate
surface units. This allows the surface units to cool down between
batches.
5. 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.
6.
Keep reflector
bowls clean
for best heat reflection.
7. To prolong
the life of the elements:
l
Prepare
small batches
at a time.
l
Do not use elements
for canning
all day.
Optional Canning Kit (Part
NO.
242905)
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 cooktop.
If you plan to use the cooktop
for canning,
we recommend
the installation
of a
Canning
Kit. Order the kit from your Whirlpool
dealer
or authorized
WhirlpoolSM
service
company.
