Right!

Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of tile surfi_ce
element's circle are not reconm_ended fin" most
surthce cooking. HoweveI; when (mining with
wate>bath or pressure cmmei; lmgei_diameter
pots may be used. This is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure) are not
ham_flfl to the cooktop SUltilces surrouudiug
tile sm_hce elements.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE I,ARGE-DIAA'IETER
CANNERS OR OTHER I,ARGE-D/AA'IETER
POTS FOR FRYING OR BOIIJNG FOODS
OTHER THAN X,\;A_TER.Most syrup or sauce
mixtm'es--and all Qpes of fl'ying---<-ook at
temperatm'es much higher than boiling wateI:
Such temperatm'es could eventually ham_ tile
glass cooktop suitilces.
1. Be sure tile cromer fits over tile center of
the sm_i_ce element. If wmr cooktop or its
location does not allow the cromer to be
centered on the sm_hce element, use smalle>
diameter pots tor good camfing results.
Do not allow the cromer to overlap the
countertop.
2. Flat-bottomed cam_ei5 inust be used. Do uot
use cam_ei5 with flanged or tippled bottoms
(ofleu touud iu eualnelware) because they
don't make enough contact with tile sm'ti_ce
elements
and take a long time to boil wateI:
3. When cmming, use recipes and procedm'es
fl'om reputable som'ces. Reliable
recipes and
procedm'es are awfilable fl'om tile mmmfi_cmrer
of your cromer; mantlfi_cmrelS of

United States Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
4. Remember that cmming is a process that
generates lmge amounts ot steam. To avoid
burus fl'om steam or heat, be carefld when
camfing.

CAUTION:
• Safe cmufing requires that hmnuful
microorgaJlisms are des_coyed m_d that the jars
are sealed completely. When cmufing foods in a
water-bath cromer, a gentle but steady boil must
be maintained for the required time. When
cmufing foods in a pressure cromer, the pressure
must be maintained for the required thue.
• After you have adjusted the controls, it is very
huportm_t to ma_ke sure the prescribed boil or
pressure levels axe maintained for the required
tilue.
• Since you must make sure to process the cmufing
jars for the prescribed thne, with no interruption
ha processing time, do not can on aaV cooktop
surface element if your cromer is not flat.

Why do my
elements cycle
on and q[/7
Sm]i_ce elements will cycle
on and off to maintain
tile temperature you have selected.
_dl radiant sm_i_ce elements have a temperature
limiter that protects tile glass cooktop fl'om
getting too hot.
Tile temperatm'e limiter may cycle tile elements
off fin" a time ifi
• tile pan boils dry.
• tile pan bottom is not fiat.
• the pan is off centei:
• there is no pan on the element.
