OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USING THE GAS SURFACE BURNERS
HOW TO SELECT FLAME SIZE
NEVER let the flames extend up the sides of the
cookware for safe handling of cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. When
fast heating is desired, the flame size on a gas burner
should match the cookware you are using. Flames larger than the
bottom of the cookware will
not result in faster heating
of the cookware and could
be hazardous.
TOP-OF-RANGE COOKWARE
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended
because it heats quickly and evenly. Most of the foods
brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with
tightfitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of
water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating
properties and is usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution.
Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer
recommends. Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of
some cookware may melt. Follow cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those for
oven use only and those for top-ofrange cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either
surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and
cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
USING A WOK
DO NOT use a wok support
ring. Placing the ring over
the burner or grate may
cause the burner to work
improperly, resulting in
carbon monoxide levels
above allowable standards.
This can be hazardous to
your health.
Only a flat-bottomed wok
should be used.
We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller
flatbottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on
the grate. They are available at your local retail store.
STOVE-TOP GRILLS
DO NOT use stove top
grills on your surface
burners. If you use the
stove top grill on the
surface burner, it will
cause incomplete
combustion and can result
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable
current standards.
This can be hazardous to your health.
