How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
The flame size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using.
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF
COOKWARE NEVER LET
THE FLAME EXTEND UP
THE SIDES OF THE
COOKWARE. Any flame
larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and
only serves to heat the handle,
Top-of-Range Cook'ware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommend-
ed because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods
brown evenly in an aluminum ski!leL Use saucepans
with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water,.
Cast iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give sat-
isfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of
some cookware may melt.. Follow cookware manufac-
turer's recommendations for cooking method&
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 con-
ducts 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 manufactur-
er's directions to be sure it can be used on gas
range&
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating
properties and is usually combined with copper, alu-
minum or other metals for improved heat distribution,,
Combination metal skillets generally work satisfactori-
ly if used at medium heat as the manufacturer recom-
mends,.
Wok Cooking (on models with sealed burners)
We recommend that you
use only a flat-bottomed
wok,. They are available
at your local retail store
Do not use woks that ............
have support rings. Use '_ii_!_!i111_.
of these types of woks,
with or without the ring in
place, can be dangerous.
Placing the ring over the .............. ':_;;:;_;;_
burner grate may cause
the burner to work improperly resulting in carbon
monoxide levels above allowable current standards,
This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to
use such woks without the ring. You could be serious-
ly burned if the wok tipped over.
Stove Top Grills (onmodels with sealed burners)
Do not use stove top grills .4_i!iii_,,. -,_',_
