Deep Fat Frying
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food.
Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high temperatures.
Keep the range and hood clean from grease.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at your local retail store.
Pots that extend beyond one inch of surface unit's
drip pan are not recommended for most surface cooking.
However, when canning with water-bath or pressure
canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is
because boiling water temperatures (even under
pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces
surrounding the surface units.
Observe the Following Points in Canning
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the
surface unit. If your range or its location does not
allow the canner to be centered on the surface unit,
use smaller diameter pots for good canning results.
2. For best results, use canners with tlat bottoms.
Canners with jlanged or rippled bottoms (often
with the surface unit and take a long time to
RIGHT
Flat-bottomed canners are recommended.

HOME CANNING TIPS
WRONG
Do not use woks that
have support rings.
Use of these types of
woks, with or without
the ring in place, can
be dangerous. Placing
a
surface unit will cause
build-up of
damage [he porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such
woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned
if the wok tipped over.
HOWEVER. DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER
CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS
FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER THAN
WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures-and all types
boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually
harm cooktop surfaces surrounding surface units.
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from
reputable sou~ces. Reli~ble recipes and procedures
are available from the manufacturer of your canner;
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as
Agriculture Extension Service.
Remember that canning is a process that generates
large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam
or heat, be careful when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may
take longer than expected, even though directi~~ns
have been carefully followed.
