unit. Sincecanninggenerateslarge
amountsofsteam, be carefulto
avoidburns from steamor heat.
Canningshouldonly be doneon
surfaceunits.
Q. Can I cover my drip
pans with
foil?
A.
No. Clean as recommendedin
CleaningGuide.
A. Cookwarewithoutflat surfaces
isnotrecommended. The lifeof
yoursurfaceunitcan be shortened
and the rangetopcan be damaged
from thehigh heatneededforthis
typeofcooking.
Q. Whyam I notgettingthe heat
1need from my units even though
I have the knobs on the right
setting?
A. After turning surfaceunit off
and makingsure itis cool, checkto
make surethat yourplug-inunits
are securely fastenedintothe
surface connection.
A. Becausethe s~lrfaceunitis
notflat. Makesurethat
the“feet”
onyourCalrod@unitsare.sitting
tightlyin the rangetop indentation
andthe reflectorring isflaton the
rangesurface.
Q. whyis theporcelainfinishon
my cookware

A. If yousetyourCalrod” unit
higherthan requiredforthe
cookwarematerial, andleaveit, the
finishmaysmoke,crack, pop, or
burn dependingonthe potor pan.
Also, a too highheat forlong
periods, and smallamountsofdry
food, maydamagethe finish.
In surfacecooking of foodsother
than canning, the use of large-
diameter pots (extendingmorethan
l-inch beyondedgeoftrim ring) is
notrecommended, However,when
canning with water-bathor
pressure canner, large-diameter
pots maybe used. This isbecause
l~oilingwatertemperatures (even
under pressure) are not harmfulto
cooktop surfi]cessurrounding
heating unit.
observeFollowingPoints
incanning
1. Bring water to boilon HIGH
heat, then after boilinghas begun,
adjust heat to lowestsettingto
maintain boil (savesenergy and
best uses surface unit.)
2. Be sure canner fits overcenter
of surface unit, If your range does
not allowcanner to be centered on
surface unit, use smaller-diameter
pOtSfor goodcanningresults.
3.
Flat-bottomed canners give best
canning results. Be sure bottom of
canner is flat or slightindentation
fits snugly over surface unit.
Canners with flanged or rippled
bottoms (often foundin enamelware)
are not recommended.

4. When canning,use recipesfrom
reputablesources. Reliablerecipes
are availablefrom the manufacturer
ofyour canner; manufacturers of
glassjars for canning, such asBall
and Kerr; and the United States
Department ofAgriculture
Extension Service.
5. Remember, in followingthe
recipes, that canningis a process
that generates large amountsof
steam. Be careful while canning to
preventburns from steam or heat.
NOTE: If your range is being
operated on lowpower (voltage),
canning may takelonger than
expected, eventhough directions
havebeen careful~yfollowed. The
process may be improved by:
(1)using a pressure canner,
and
(2)
for fastestheating of large
water quantities, begi~~with
HOT tap water.

Q. when broiling, is it necessary
to alwaysuse a rack in the pan?
A..Yes.Usingthe rack suspends
