Setting Proper Surface Burner Flame Size
For most cooking - start on the highest control setting and then turn to a
lower one tocomplete the process. Use the recommendations below as a
guide for determining proper flame size for various types ofcooking. The size
and type of utensil used and the amount offood being cooked will influence the
setting needed.

*Flame Size
High Flame

Low Flame
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling.
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming.
Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
Incorrect
Never extend the flame beyond the
outer edge of the utensil. A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases the risk of being burned
by the gas flame.
For deep fat frying - use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If
the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be
undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food
wilt neither brown nor cook properly.
*Note: Settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aluminum
pans, Settings may vary when using other types of pans. The color ofthe
flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and
hardly visible in a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady and
sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
Using the Wok Stand
The Wok Stand provided with your range is designed to allow round-bottomed
woks to be used. It is recommended that you use a 14 inch maximum
diameter (35.5 cm) Wok. The Wok Stand MUST be used on either the right or
left FRONT burner positions. Cooking with a Wok using the Wok Stand on the
rear burner positions may damage the control panel of the range. And it is
recommended that you use the right front POWER burner for best
performance. If properly positioned, the Wok Stand will not slide off the grate.
To Properly Position the Wok Stand:
With the grate in position over the burner, set the Wok Stand on top of the
grate positioningthe angled notch in the Wok Stand towards the rear of the
range (See Fig 1). Turn the Wok Stand, as shown, untilthe grate fingers fit into
the slots on the bottom of the stand (See Fig. 2).
Always use potholders to
remove the wok stand from the grate.
Allow the wok stand to cool before
removing. Do not set hot wok stand on
surfaces that cannot withstand high
heat; such as countertops.
Be sure the Wok Stand
is positioned correctly and stable before
use to prevent hot spills and possible
burns.
