Circuit Protection
As a protection against surcharge, a 15 amp, 120 volt fuse is provided for each of the electric outlet(s) (2 max.) located on top of
the control panel. To access the fuse(s) raise the control panel cover. Models with no electric outlet have no fuse.
Indicator
Light
Some models have an indicator light for each heating unit, other models have an indicator light for each pair of heating units. Some
models have indicator lights only with the warmer zone and warmer drawer.
The indicator light glows as soon as a heating unit is turned on. Check if the indicator light glows when the control knob of the
individual heating unit isturned on. If the knob is set to a very low temperature setting, the indicator may glow and yet, the heating
unit may not be heating at all. If this happens, turn the knob to a higher setting until the heating unit comes on.
When cooking isfinished, a glance at the indicator lights is an easy check to be sure all the control knobs have been turned to OFF.

NOTE: When the oven is in a baking, convection baking, broiling or self-cleaning operation, a cooling fan may automatically
turn on and off to cool internal parts. It is normal and the fan may continue to run even after oven is turned off.
Canning Tips & Infor-
mation
Canning can generate
large amounts of steam. Use extreme
caution to prevent burns. Always raise
the lid to vent steam away from you.
1.
Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your local
Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars for the
latest canning information.
2.
Use flat-bottomed
canners only. Heat is spread more evenly when the bottom
surface is flat.
3.
Center canner on the surface element.
4.
Start with hot water and a high heat setting to reduce the time it takes to bring
the water to a boil; then reduce the heat setting as low as possible to maintain a
constant boil.
5.
It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Prevent damage to cooktop:
1.
Do not use water bath or pressure canners that extend more than one inch
beyond the edge of the surface element.
2.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an extended
amount of time.
3.
Alternate
surface elements between each batch to allow the units and
surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid canning on the same element all
day.
Safe canning requires that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed
and the jars are sealed completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle
but steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required time.
