SURFACE BURNERS (cont.)
Types of Surface Burners
Dual-Flame Stacked Burner:
Use this burner for general cooking purposes.
Size cookware appropriately to the flames.
Dual-Flame Stacked Burners
Dual-Flame Stacked burners on your range have two sets
of flames stacked one on top of the other; the dual-flame
burners have a lower (simmer) flame and a upper (main)
flame.
When a burner is turned on, the lower flame will always
light and stay on.
Simmering:
The stacked burner design provides a wide range of heat
settings with which to simmer. Depending on the type and
quantity of food, and pan size, the flame can be adjusted to
suit your specific need.
Multi-Ring Burner
The Multi-Ring Burner has an inner and
outer ring of flame. For large cookware,
activate all rings by setting the burner
between Hi and Med.
For small cookware or low heating
applications, only activate the inner
rings by setting the burner between Lo
and Sim.
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.
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 or as the manufacturer recommends.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.

Multi-Ring Burner:
Use this burner for large cookware or
for simmering applications.
Cooking:
Settings from LO to MED will use both upper and lower
flames. Use HI for larger diameter cookware.
HI is intended to sear foods quickly and boil large
quantities of water.
Dual Stack burners are supplied with black enamel caps
and brass inserts that sit in the center. The inserts may be
removed depending on consumer preference.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of some
cookware may melt. Follow the 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 the cookware manufacturer's directions
to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
