USING THE GAS SURFACE BURNERS

HOW TO SELECT FLAME SIZE

For safe handling of cookware, never let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware.

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.

Flames 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 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.

USING A WOK

We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller flat- bottomed wok.

Make sure the wok	Use a flat-bottomed wok
bottom sits flat on
the grate. They are
available at your
local retail store.

Only a flat-bottomed wok should

be used.

Do not use a wok

support ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards.

This can be hazardous to your health.

STOVE-TOP GRILLS

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.
