How to Select Flame Size

AWARNING

Flames that are

not covered by cookware may present a risk
of burns or clothing igniton. Never let flames
extend beyond the sides of the cookware.

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust

heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame

size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you ore using.

Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware

will not result in foster heating and may 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.

Sto/n/essStee/;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.

Stove Top Grills

Do not use stove top 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.

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Wok This Way

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 could be dangerous to your health.

In Case of Power Failure

In case of a power failure, you can light the
gas surface burners on your range with a
match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then
push in and turn the control knob to the LITE
position. Use extreme caution when lighting
burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to operate
normally.

NOTE: If Gas/Control Lockout is in use at the
time of a power failure, the surface burners
cannot be lit.
