Surface Burners (Cont.)
Surface Burner
The round burner is for general cooking purposes . Size
cookware appropriately to the flames .
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 .
Stove Top Grills
Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your
gas surface burners . A stove top grill will cause
incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide
levels above allowable standards . This could be
hazardous to your health .
Using a Wok
Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches
or less . Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate .
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 could be hazardous to your health .

If the battery is too weak to light the burners, you can
light the gas surface burners on your range with a
wooden kitchen match . Hold a lit match to the burner,
then push in and turn the control knob to the LITE

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 .
Do not use stove top grills
Use a flat-bottomed wok .

way . Surface burners in use when an electrical power
