Home Canning When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool. ■ Center the canner on the grate or largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element. ■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas, elements or surface burners at the same time. ■ On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners. ■ For more information, contact your local agricultural department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance. Cooktop Controls - Touch-Activated Custom Control Temperature Management System WARNING Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.

MED- HI [8-10] ■ Hold a rapid boil. ■ Quickly brown or sear food. MED [6-7] ■ Maintain a slow boil. ■ Fry or sauté foods. ■ Cook soups, sauces and gravies. MED-LO [4-5] ■ Stew or steam food. LO-3 [SIMMER] ■ Simmer (range of simmer temperatures) KEEP WARM ■ Keep cooked foods warm. MELT & HOLD ■ Melt chocolate or butter. Fire Hazard Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to do so can result in death or fire. The electronic touch controls offer a variety of heat settings for optimal cooking results. When melting foods such as chocolate or butter, the surface cooking area can be set to MELT & HOLD for very low temperature operation. To keep cooked foods warm or to heat serving dishes, the surface cooking area can be set to KEEP WARM. For maximum element operation, all cooktop touch-activated controls can be set to HI when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Touch the "-" pad to immediately reach the HI setting. NOTE: This cooktop automatically adjusts for 208V operation without affecting cooking performance. REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot. Single, Dual and Triple-Size Elements A A. Single size A B To Use: 1.
