After Lighting a Burner

•After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame

°Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one you want to use.

•Do not operate a burner for an extended pedod of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

°Be sure the burners and grates are coot before you

place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them

How to Select Flame Size

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°

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 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 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 result&

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some ceokware 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 This Way

(on models with sealed burners)

We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller

flat-bottomed wok Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the

grate. Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. They are available at your local retail store°

Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support ring_ Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly,

resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standard&

This could be dangerous to your health.

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 standards, This can be hazardous to your health°
