10 OPERATION
Correct
• Always use cookware that is suitable for each
burner to avoid wasting gas and discoloring the
cookware.
• Place a lid on the cookware.
• Only use pots, saucepans and frying pans with a
thick, flat bottom.
• Center cookware on the grate over the burner
head.
• Handle cookware carefully when it is on the
burner.
Incorrect
• Do not use small-diameter cookware on large
burners. The flame should never come up the
sides of the cookware.
• Avoid cooking without a lid or with the lid half
open as this wastes energy
• Do not use a pan with a convex or concave
bottom.
• Do not place cookware on one side of a burner,
as it could tip over. Do not use cookware with a
large diameter on the burners near the controls.
If cookware sits too close to the controls or
touches them, the increased heat can damage
the controls.
• Never place cookware directly on top of the
burner or burner cap.
• Do not place anything, such as a heat diffuser or
asbestos mat, between the cookware and the
grate, as it may cause serious damage to the
appliance.
• Do not use excessive weight and do not hit the
cooktop with heavy objects.
CAUTION
• Do not use roasting pans, frying pans or grill
stones heated simultaneously on several
burners because the resulting heat build-up may
damage the appliance.
• Do not touch cooktop surfaces while cooking or
after cooking until they cool down.
NOTE
• As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame to keep the liquid simmering.
Selecting Flame Size
NEVER let the flames extend up the sides of the
cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, while reducing the
heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame size
on a gas burner should match the cookware used.
Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will
not result in faster heating of the cookware and
could be hazardous.
