USING THE COOKTOP: Surface Burners Surface Burners (Cont.) Tri-Ring Burner (some models) Dual Oval Burner (some models) For large cookware, activate all rings by setting set the burner between Hi and Med. For small cookware or low heating applications, only activate the inner rings by setting the burner between Lo and Sim. For small cookware, only activate the round burner. When using a griddle, activate both the oval and round burner sections. Side View Of The Tri-Ring Burner Knob Side View Of The Dual Oval Burner Knob 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 tightfitting 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: Under some conditions, the enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow the 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 the cookware manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges. Stove Top Grills Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable standards. This could be hazardous to your health. Do not use stove top grills Using a Wok Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 inches or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on the grate. 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 hazardous to your health. Use a flat-bottomed wok. 49-85222 11
