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.

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.

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.
