Home Canning Canning can be performed on a glass smooth top 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 ½" (13 mm) beyond the surface cooking area or element. ■■ Do not place canner on 2 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. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and wellventilated room. Electronic Oven Controls Control Display The display will flash when powered up or after a power loss. Press CANCEL to clear.

Settings Many features of the oven control can be adjusted to meet your personal needs. These changes are made using the Settings key.

Press CANCEL to exit Settings. Clock Time of Day This clock can use a 12- or 24-hour cycle. To adjust, see "12/24 Hour Clock" in this section. Check that the oven and Timer are off. To Change Time of Day: 1. Press SETTINGS once. After 3 seconds, "SET CLOCK-PUSH START TO CHANGE" will be displayed. 2. Press START to display the current setting. 3. Press "3" for AM or "6" for PM. 4. Press the number keypads to set the time of day. 5. Press START. 6. Press CANCEL to exit. Oven Temperature Offset Control IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to provide consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Most thermometers are slow to react to temperature change and will not provide an accurate reading due to this cycling. The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature can be adjusted to personalize it for your cooking needs. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or Celsius. To Adjust Oven Temperature: 1. Press SETTINGS until "TEMP OFFSET" is displayed. 2. Press START to display the current setting. 3. Press the "3" keypad to increase the temperature in 5°F (3°C) increments, or press the "6" keypad to decrease the temperature in 5°F (3°C) increments. The range is from -30°F to +30°F (-18°C to 18°C). 4. Press START to save the setting. 5. Press CANCEL to exit. 9
