In Case of a Power Failure
- In the event of a power failure, the oven is inoperablem and no attempt should be made to operate it.
- However extreme caution, hold a lit match near the ports beneath the surface burner cap, then slowly turn the knob to the LITE position. Once lit, surface burners will continue to operate normally.
Surface Burners
Selecting a Flame Size
- Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When rapid heating is desired, the flame size should match the size of the cookware you are using.
- Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may be hazardous.
Using the Surface Burners
NOTES:
- Time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb the heat. Damage to the product may occur.
- Place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials on them.
- Your rangetop has sealed gas burners that offer convenience, cleanability and flexibility for a wide range of cooking applications.
- The smallest burner is the simmer burner. A simmer burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking performance for foods such as delicate sauces that require low heat for a long cooking time.
- The extra-large burner is designed to quickly bring large amounts of liquid to a boil.
Aluminum:
- Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown 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.
Enamelware:
- Follow the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass:
- Oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking 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.
Using a Wok
- Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate 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.
Oven Cooking Guide
Griddle (on some models)
Using Your Cast Iron Griddle
- The ribbed side of the reversible griddle can be used for food normally grilled.
- Your griddle provides an extra-large cooking surface for meats, pancakes and other foods usually prepared in a skillet. Before first use, rinse with hot water and dry
Griddle Precautions:
- Cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent “baked on” food soil as it can be a fire hazard. Clean under the griddle with hot, soapy water as soon as it is cool.

+ When air frying foods with sauce. it is recommended to apply the sauce at the end of cooking.
+ If foods are browning too quickly. try a lower rack position or lower oven set temperature.
+ For packaged foods. use traditional oven cooking instructions for set temperature and expected cook time.
+ It is not necessary to flip or stir food during cooking
+ Arrange food in a single layer on the pan. do not overload the pan.
+ Always check internal food temperature to confirm minimum safe temperatures have been reached.
Minimum safe food temperatures can be found on packages and at IsIltDoneYet.gov.
