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:
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.
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
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 |
| |
wok. They are available at |
| |
your local retail store. |
| |
● Do not use woks that have | ‘.::: .x ..’ | |
support rings. Use of these | e | |
types of woks, with or | ||
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.
