After Lighting a Burner
• After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust
the flame
o Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one
you want to use
• Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time
without cookware on the grate The finish on the grate
may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
° Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other
materials on them
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
The flame size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF
COOKWARE NEVER LET THE
FLAME EXTEND UP THE
SIDES OF THE COOKWARE.
Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is
wasted and only serves to heat the handle.
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 Holder.
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 Holder, You could be seriously burned if the
wok tipped over.
Top-of-Range Cool<ware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookwafe 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,
Castolron: 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 cookwarei4hose
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 are used with medium heat as the manufacturer
recommends.
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 a_lowab_e
current standards. This can be
hazardous to your health,
