ACCESSORY CANNING KIT (Part No. 242905)
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 cooktop.
If you plan 10 use the cooktop for zanriing, we recommend the Instar! ztlor or a
Cannrng Kit. Orderthe kit from your Whrrlpool Dealer or Tech-Care Service Cor~pu~ly
