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 two 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.
OVEN USE
The normal operation of the range will include several noises that
may be heard each time the bake or broil burners ignite during the
cooking cycle:
■
Gas valves may make a “popping” sound when opening
or closing.
■
Igniters will “click” several times until a flame is sensed.
■
A “poof” sound is heard when a bake or broil burner ignites.
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
