How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
The flame size on a gas burner should match the cookware you are using.
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE NEVER LET THE FLAME
EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than
the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because
it heats quickly and evenly.
Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use
saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with
minimum amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.
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-of-range 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.
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.
Wok Cooking
(on models with sealed burners)
● We recommend that you
use only a flat-bottomed
wok. They are available at
your local retail
store.
● Do not use woks that have
‘.:::

..’
support rings. Use of these
types of woks, with or
e
without the ring in place,
~
can be dangerous. Placing the
ring over the burner grate may
cause the burner to work improperly resulting in
carbon monoxide levels above allowable current
standards. This could be dangerous to your health,
Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You
could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
Use of Stove Top Grills
(on models with sealed burners)
Do not use stove top grills
on your sealed gas burners.
If you use the stove top
grill on the sealed gas
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.
