To Light a Burner

USING YOUR COOKTOP

(continued)

OFF

HIGH

LIGHT

LO

Push the control knob in and turn it counterclockwise to the desired position from HIGH to LO.

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

To turn a burner off, turn the knob clockwise, as far as it will go, to the OFF position.

•The center and 2 rear burners are best for smaller pans and cooking operations requiring carefully controlled simmering conditions. The 2 front burners are the high power burners for larger pans and fast boiling operations.

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

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

•Be sure the burners and grates are cool 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.

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 heat 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 for 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 2 types of glass cookware—those for oven use only and those for surface 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 cooktops.

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 generally work satisfactorily if they are used at medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.
