Until you get used to the settings, use the following ar a guide. For best results, start cooking at the high setting; then turn the control knob down to continue cooking. SEll-lNG 1 RECOMMENDED USE HI l To start foods cooking. l To bring liquids to a boil.
Home canning information l Use the largest surface unit for best results. Also, use a canner/pan which can be centered over the surface unit. l 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.
For best air circulation Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking. l Place the pans so that one is not directly over the other. l For beat results, allow 1% to 2 inches (4-5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls.
