Home Canning Canning can be performed on a glass smoothtop cooking surface or traditional coil element cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool. ■■ Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than 1/2" (13 mm) beyond the surface cooking area or element. ■■ Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas or elements at the same time. ■■ On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to avoid damage to the cooktop and elements. ■■ For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance. OVEN USE Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off by the oven. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room. Aluminum Foil IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner. For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely. Positioning Racks and Bakeware IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Bakeware To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another. Racks ■■ Position racks before turning on the oven. ■■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them. ■■ Make sure racks are level. To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide. 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following table. Flat Rack Position* Type of Food 7 6 3 or 4 2 1 Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers, steaks Broiled meats, poultry, fish Most baked goods, casseroles, frozen foods Roasted meats Large roasts or poultry For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Preheat the oven for 2 minutes. Side 1 should cook for approximately 21/2 to 31/2 minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling. * If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, the recessed ends must be placed in the rack position above the desired position of the food. See the following illustration. 14
