u_Surface unit
• Use the largest surface unit for best
results. Also, use a canner/pan which can
be centered over the surface unit.
• Start with hot water. This reduces the
time the control is set on high. Reduce
heat setting to lowest position needed to
keep water boiling.
• Refer to your canner manual for specific
instructions.
Positioning racks and pans
General guidelines
• Always position oven rack(s) in desired
location before turning oven on.
• To move rack(s), lift rack(s) at front and
pull out.
• Be sure the rack(s) is level.
• If rack(s) must be moved while oven is
hot, use pot holders or oven mitts to
protect hands.
• For baking/roasting with one rack, place
the rack so the top of the food willbe
centered in the oven,
• When baking on two racks, arrange
racks on the bottom and third level from
the bottom.
