OPERATION
Setting the Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
Match the flame size on a gas burner to the cookware
being used for fastest heating.
CAUTION
Never let the flames extend up the sides of the
cookware.
NOTE
•
The flames on the surface burners may burn
yellow in the presence of high humidity, such as
a rainy day or a nearby humidifier.
•
After LP gas conversion, flames can be bigger
than normal when you put a pot on the surface
burner.
•
When turning a surface burner from high heat
to simmer quickly, make sure the flames stay
lit. See page 28 to adjust the burner flames, if
necessary.
In Case of Power Failure
If you experience a power outage, you can carefully
light the gas surface burners on the range with a
match. Gas burners in use when the power goes out
will continue to operate normally.
1
Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in the
control knob.
2
Turn the control knob to the 1 position.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when lighting burners with
a match. Doing so can cause burns and other
damage.
Cookware for Gas Burners
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.
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 work satisfactorily if they
are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Enamelware
Under some conditions, the
enamel of this 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.
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.
Extra Low Simmer (On Some Small
Burners)
•
Extra Low Simmer is available on some small
burners, depending on your model. The function
is available on the small burners marked with an
asterisk below. On these burners, the S1 to S3
settings are for Extra Low Simmer and the S4
setting is for a continuous simmer. The Simmer
setting on the other small and large burners applies
heat to food continuously.
