32 OPERATION
• 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 work
satisfactorily if they are used with medium
heat as the manufacturer recommends.
• Enamelware
- Under some conditions, the enamel of this
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.
• 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.
NOTE
• Match the size of the cookware to the amount of
food being cooked to save energy when heating.
Heating 1/2 quart of water requires more energy
in a 3-quart pot than in a 1-quart pot.
Using a Wok
If using a wok, use a 14-inch or smaller flat-
bottomed wok. Make sure that the wok bottom sits
flat on the grate.
CAUTION
• 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 hazardous to your health.
Using Stove-Top Grills
Do not place stove-top grills on the burner.
CAUTION
• Do not use stove top grills on the surface
burners. Using a 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
This feature is only available on some models.
The non-stick coated griddle provides an extra-
large cooking surface for meats, pancakes or other
food usually prepared in a frying pan or skillet.
CAUTION
• Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods as grease
spillover can occur.
• The griddle can become hot when surrounding
burners are in use.
• Do not overheat the griddle. This can damage
the non stick coating.
• Do not use metal utensils that can damage the
griddle surface. Do not use the griddle as a
cutting board.
• Do not place or store items on the griddle.
NOTE
• It is normal for the griddle to become discolored
over time.
How to Place the Griddle
The griddle can only be used with the center
burner. The griddle must be properly placed on
the center grate, as shown.
