Burn, Fire, Explosion and

Product Damage Hazard

lBurner flame should not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. The flame can burn you and cause poor cooking resutts.

lBe sure all control knobs are turned to OFF when you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a burner is accidentally left ON.

lIf the flame should go out while cooking, or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait five minutes for the gas odor to disappear before relighting burner. If gas odor is still present, see safety note on page 3. Failure to follow these precau- tions could result in explosion or fire.

lDo not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot surface burner. The utensil can overheat and may damage the utensil or cooking product.

Cookware tips

There is no one brand of cooking utensil that is best for all people. Knowing something about pan materials and construction will help you select the right cooking utensils for your needs.

NOTE: For beat rerutts and greater fuel

efficiency, use only flat-bottomed utensils that make good contact with the surface burners. Utensils with rounded, warped, ridged (porce- lain enamel-ware) or dented bottoms could cause severe overheating, which damages the utensil and/or surface burner.

Woks, canners and teakettles with flat bottoms suitable for use on your cook-top are now available in most stores that sell housewares.

lThe pan should have straight sides and a tight- fitting lid.

l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness) pans that are fairly lightweight.

l The pan material (metal or glass) affects how fast heat transfers from the surface burner through the pan material and how evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.

lHandles should be made of a sturdy, heat- resistant material and be securely attached to the pan.

lPans should be easy to clean. Check to be sure there are no crevices, rough edges or areas where food might collect.

lBe sure pans do not tip, whether they are full or empty.

lUse utensils only as they were intended to be used. Follow pan instructions. This is very important for glass cookware because some should be used only in the oven. Other pans are marked as flameware and may be used on the surface burners.
