How to Select Flame Size
. WARNING
Flames that are
not covered by cookware may present a risk
of burns or clothing igniton. Never let flames
extend beyond the sides of the cookware.
Watch.the.flame,.not.the.knob,.as.you.adjust.
heat ..When.fast.heating.is.desired,.the.flame.
size.on.a.gas.burner.should.match.the.
cookware.you.are.using .
Flames.larger.than.the.bottom.of.the.cookware.
will.not.result.in.faster.heating.and.may.be.
hazardous .
In Case of Power Failure

ring.over.the.burner.or.grate.may.cause.the.
burner.to.work.improperly,.resulting.in.carbon.
monoxide.levels.above.allowable.standards ..
This.could.be.dangerous.to.your.health ..
Use a flat-bottomed wok .
Stove Top Grills
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.allowable.
current.standards ..
This.can.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 .

coffee.and.teapots) ..Glass.conducts.heat.
very.slowly .

.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.
