spark igniting the burner.	1

The lowest setting of the burner

has a small flame to provide F simmering capability. To simmer foods, set the cooktop control knob to the lowest setting that will maintain the desired simmer.

If simmering on one burner and the other burners are turned on, the gas flow of the simmering burner may have to be adjusted.

After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

You may occasionally hear the igniter ticking, even though the burner is lit. This is normal and is caused by drafts or by air disturbances from nearby objects. For safety, the burner will attempt to relight whenever it senses that the flame is distorted.

After Lighting a Burner

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

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

lamer than the bottom of the cookware is wa;ted and only serves to heat the handle.

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

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 without

the ting in place, can be,::i~;,,.”’’vj:.~..>~

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.
