10 OPERATION
Selecting Flame Size
NEVER let the flames extend up the sides of the
cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, while reducing the
heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame size
on a gas burner should match the cookware used.
Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will
not result in faster heating of the cookware and
could be hazardous.
Cookware
• Aluminum
Medium-weight cookware is recommended
because it heats quickly and evenly. Most of the
foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use
sauce pans 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 usually work
satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat
as the manufacturer recommends.
• 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 the 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.
Using a Wok
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 can be a health hazard.
Use a 14 inch or smaller flat bottom wok. Make
sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate.
Woks are available at a local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Stove-Top Grills
Do not use stove top grills on the surface burners.
Using the stove top grill on the surface burner will
cause incomplete combustion and can result in
exposure to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards.
This can be a health hazard.
Using the Griddle
The enamel-coated griddle provides an extra -
large cooking surface for meats, pancakes or other
food usually prepared in a frying pan or skillet.
NOTE
• The griddle will discolor over time as it becomes
seasoned with use.
How to Place the Griddle
• The griddle can only be used on the left side
grate.
• The griddle must be properly placed on the
grate.
• When the correct side is facing the front, the
tabs on the underside of the griddle sit properly
