OPERATION
ENGLISH
In Case of Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light the gas
surface burners on your range with a match.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power
failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
1
Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in the
control knob.
2
Turn the control knob to the Lo position.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when lighting burners with a
match. It can cause burns and other damage.
Range-Top 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.
Cast-Iron
If heated slowly, most skillets will
give satisfactory results.
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.
Using a Wok
If using a wok, use a 14-inch or smaller flat-bottomed
piece of wok. Make sure that the wok bottom sits flat
on the grate.
Use flat-bottomed
wok
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.
