USING THE GAS SURFACE BURNERS
HOW TO SELECT FLAME SIZE
For safe handling of cookware, never let the
flames extend up the sides of the 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
USING A WOK
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.
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.
STOVE-TOP GRILLS
Do not use stove top f._
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.
