To achieve optimum cooking performance use cookpots with fiat bottoms and tight fitting
covers. Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. This instruction is based on safety considerations. Adjusting the size of the
flame to fit the size of the cookware also helps to save fuel.
CAUTION: Do NOT allow large pans to contact or extend over the control knobs. Heat
trapped between large pans and control knobs could possibly cause damage to the
control knobs.
Important:
Leave a minimum of 1 1/2" between side of pan and surrounding surfaces,
such as countertop backsplash or side walls, to allow heat to escape to avoid possible
damage to these areas.
• Aluminum cookware heats evenly and quickly. A slightly larger flame size can be
used. Theflame can be adjusted so it comes to the edge of the cookware. However,
the flame should NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the bottom of the
cookware.
• Stainless steel cookware with copper or aluminum cores heat evenly and fairly
quickly. The flame size should be adjusted to extend only halfway between center
and edge of the cookware bottom for best results.
• Cast iron cookware heats slowly.
• Check manufacturer's recommendations before using porcelain on steel, porcelain
on cast iron, glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookpots.
If the cookware is covered, less fuel will be needed; therefore, a lower flame size can
be used.
Note: Food will not cook any faster when more than the amount of heat needed to
maintain a gentle boil is used.
