canning
information
l
Use flat-bottomed
canners
for best results.
l
Use the largest surface
unit for best results.
Also, use a canner/pan
which can be centered
over the surface unit and which does not
extend more than one inch outside surface unit
area. Large diameter canners/pans,
if not
properly centered, trap heat and can cause
damage to the cooktop.
l
Do not place canner on two surface units at
the same time. Too much heat will build up and
will damage the cooktop.
l
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.
l
Keep reflector
bowls clean for best heat
reflection.
l
To prolong the life of the elements:
- Prepare small batches
at a time.
- Do not use elements
for canning all day.
Optional
canning
kii
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 kii (Part No. 242905) from your
Whirlpool dealer or authorized Whirlpools"
service company.
Positioning
racks and pans
For baking/roasting
with one rack, place the
rack so the top of the food will be centered in the
oven.
