COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.
Top-of-Range Cooicware
Aliimmuuoa: Medlum-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly and evenly.
Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skill ec. Use
saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cool-dng with
mtmmum amounts of ivater.
Cast-Iron! If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results,
Ettamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of
some cookware may melt. Follow cookware
manufacturers 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.
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 arc used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Wok This Way
(on models with sealed burners)
We recommend that you use
a flat-bottomed wok. They
are available at your local
retail store.
A traditional round bottom wok can be used with
Wok Holder accessory, model JXWK which can be
ordered from your appliance dealer. The Wok Holder
fits on top of the range grate to provide support and
proper air circulation for traditional round bottom
woks only Do not use flat bottomed woks with the
Wok Holden
Do not use a wok on any
other support ring. 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 unless you are using
the Wok Holden You could be seriously burned if the
wok tipped over.
Stove Top Grills
(on models with sealed burners)
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.
