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:
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
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.

Stove Top Grills (on models with sealed burners) | Wok This Way (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.
We recommend that you use a
A traditional round bottom wok can be used with Wok Holder accessory, model JXWK which can be ordered from your appliance dealer. The Wok Holder fits on top of the range grate to provide support and proper air circulation for traditional round bottom woks only. Do not use flat bottomed woks with the Wok Holder.
Do not use a wok on any other support ring.
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 unless you are using the Wok Holder. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
