■ Medium or heavy thickness is best for
most cooking tasks.
Cast iron

after cooking.
Earthenware

Stainless steel

For best results, the cookware should be centered above the
burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should
be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently
used areas to cool.
■ Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
■ Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
■ 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.

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 well-
ventilated room.
