with a support ring. The porcelain-coated cast iron wok support ring must be purchased separately. • Canners and Stock Pots - Select one with a base diameter that extends no more than 2 inches (51mm) beyond the grate. Standard Size Water Bath Canner 21 to 22 quarts (19.95 to 20.9 liters), with an 11 to 12 inch base (279 to 305 mm) and a 9 to 11 inch depth (229 to 279 mm). Standard Size Pressure Canner 8 to 22 quarts (7.6 to 20.9 liters), with an 8 to 11 inch base (203 to 279 mm) and a 6 1/2" to 12 inch depth (165 - 305 mm). Canning Tips: • A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave, convex or rippled base. • When using two canners at the same time, use staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners. A flame needs the right amount of air for complete combustion. • Use a cover on a canner when bringing the contents to a boil. • Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure. • Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take precautions to prevent burns. Cooking Recommendations Suggestions For Using the Recommendations Use the chart on page 16 through page 19 as a guide. The settings you use will vary depending on the pans selected and the starting temperature of the food. On the chart, the "Finish Setting" has been separated for the standard and ExtraLow burners. There may or may not be a change between the two burner settings. The ExtraLow setting can be either a cooking or a holding setting. Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time for the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.

Canners and Stock Pots
– Select one with a base
diameter that extends no more than 2 inches (51mm)
beyond the grate.
Standard Size Water Bath Canner
21 to 22 quarts (19.95 to 20.9 liters), with an 11 to 12 inch
base (279 to 305 mm) and a 9 to 11 inch depth (229 to 279
mm).
Standard Size Pressure Canner
8 to 22 quarts (7.6 to 20.9 liters), with an 8 to 11 inch base
(203 to 279 mm) and a 6 1/2" to 12 inch depth (165 - 305
mm).
Canning Tips:
A flat base pan is preferred to one with a concave,
convex or rippled base.
When using two canners at the same time, use
staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners. A
flame needs the right amount of air for complete
combustion.
Use a cover on a canner when bringing the contents to
a boil.
Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use the
lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or pressure.
Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take
precautions to prevent burns.
