Using The Gas Surface Burners - LG LSCG306ST Service Manual

USING THE GAS SURFACE BURNERS

HOW TO SELECT FLAME SIZE
• NEVER let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware for safe
handling of 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.
COOKWARE
• Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly.
Most of the 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.
• 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.
• 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 the
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.
USING A WOK
• 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.
• We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller flat-bottomed wok.
Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. They are available at
your local retail store.
• Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
STOVE-TOP GRILLS
• Do not use stove top grills on your surface burners. If you use the
stove top grill on the surface 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.
