Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Host 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.
HeatproofGlass-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.
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,
Usea flat-bottomed wok,
Wok This Way
We recommend that you use o 14-inch or
smaller riot-bottomed wok. Make sure the wok
bottom sits flat on the grote. They ore
available at your local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Do not use a wok support ring. Placingthe
ring over the burner or grate may cause the
burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon
monoxide levels above allowable standards.
This could be dangerous to your health.
In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light the
gas surface burners on your range with a
match. Hold a lit match to the burner,then
push in and turn the control knob to the LITE
position. Use extreme caution when lighting
burners this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to operate
normally.
NOTE: If Gas/Control Lockout is in use at the
time of o power failure, the surface burners
cannot be lit.
