Ina move to ensure consumer safety, Electrolux and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) have reannounced a recall of several models of its stoves due to safety hazards. This is a massive recall that affects hundreds of thousands of units across the United States and Canada.

Below, the product liability lawyers at Kherkher Garcia provide a comprehensive overview of the recall, including what models are affected, the reasons behind the recall, and the steps consumers need to take.
This reannouncement aims to reach any consumers who may have missed the initial notice and to ensure that all affected units are repaired or replaced.

Canning and Oversize Cookware
All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the element.
When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.
Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smoothtop surfaces.
When canning, use the High heat setting only until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.
Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be damaged.
Well, you can cook up the guava into refrigerator jam (you make the jam and keep it in the refrigerator instead of the pantry shelf) or you could cook it up into syrup (using the plum syrup recipe below) and then freeze it. Or you could buy an inexpensive mini- gas burner and can jam that way. I hope that helps.
Heat buildup can ad to issues on flat tops stove , but my understanding is there is more to it than that. While they do make pressure canners that recommend they can be used of Flat top stoves, AKA Ceramic surface flat tops, it is the weight of the canner filled that is the concern; more than the heat build up. The heat is important from the canned food perspective, but the weight of water and filled jars, plus the weight of the canner itself, dependent on the size of the canner is the major issue from my understanding. There is a weight limit on the stove top itself, regardless of the heat issue. Setting heavy items on the stove top even with the heat off can break or crack the stove top. Once you have a crack, like a car windshield the whole thing can shatter on day when you least expect it.
Perhaps you could call the major manufacturers directly to see what models they have available? Having a coil element is not so much the problem. It is the glass top and ceramic tops cracking that can be your biggest worry. The weight and heat on the glass is just too much sometimes.
HOWEVER, you really just need to contact the maker of your brand of stove to see. It is very possible that your brand will not have a problem. That is what I would do if it were me. When you contact the stove maker, make sure they understand that you need to verify that the temperature does not fluctuate so much that you would ever go below 240 degrees F while under pressure during processing. That is key for safety. (We are talking serious concerns over botulism if that requirement is not met.)
There are pressure canners that can be used on a glass top stove, but you need to make sure that the particular model you buy states that fact. Presto does make one that is safe for glass top electric stoves.
