USING YOUR RANGE

Home canning information

To protect your range:

• Use flat-bottomed canners/pans for best results.

• For best results, use the largest surface unit.

Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered

over the surface unit and which does not extend

more than one inch outside surface unit area.

Largo diameter canners/pans, if not properly

centered, trap heat and can cause damage to

the cooktop.

• Do not place canner on two surface units at the

same time. Excessive heat build-up will damage

the cooktop.

• 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.

• Keep reflector bowls clean for best heat

reflection.

• To prolong the life of the elements:

-Prepare small batches at a time.

- Do not use elements for canning all day.

Optional canning kit

The large diameter of most water-bath or

pressure canners combined with high heat

settings for long periods of time can shorten the

life of regular surface units and cause damage to

the cooldop.

If you plan to use the cooktop for canning, we

recommend the installation of a Canning Kit.

Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from your Roper

dealer or authorized Roper service company.

Positioning racks and pans

For baking/roasting with one rack, the rack

should be placed so the top of the food will be

centered in the oven. Always leave at least 1 '/2 to

2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan

and the oven walls and other pans.

For proper cooking, follow these guidelines

for specific foods:

• Angel and bundt cakes, yeast breads, frozen

pies, large roasts and turkeys-place rack on

lowest level.

• Casseroles, muffins, most quick breads and

meats-place rack on second or third level from

bottom.

• Cookies, biscuits, cakes and non-frozen pies-

place rack on second or third level from bottom.

When baking on two racks, arrange racks on

bottom and third level from bottom.

NOTE: For recommended rack placement when

broiling, see "Broiling rack position chart" on

page 14.

^WARNING

Personal Injury Hazard

• Always position oven rack(s) in desired

location before turning oven on. Be sure

the rack(s) is level.

• If rack(s) must be moved while oven is

hot, use potholders or oven mitts to

protect hands.

Failure to follow the above precautions

may result in personal injury.
