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.
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 and well-
ventilated room.
NOTE: On some models: The convection fan will shut off when
the oven door is opened. If the oven door remains open for too
long, the heating elements will shut off until the oven door is
closed. All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook
functions, will continue to count down.
