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 as the manufacturer
recommends.
Cast-Iron:
satisfactory results.
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.

In Case of a Power Failure

burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match
to the burner ports, then slowly turn the control knob to
