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 .
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 .

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 tight-
fitting 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 .
