Surface Cooking (co.t °ued)
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,
Cast=Iron= If' heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results°
Enamelware: Under-some conditions, the ename! of'
some cookware may melt. Follow cooltware
manufacturer's recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of' glass coottware--those
fbr oven use only and those for top-of-iange 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 veiy slowly
and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer's
directions to be sure it can be used on gas Ianges.
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 generally
work satisfactorily if used at medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
Wok This Way
(on models with sealed burners)
We recommend that you use
a fiat-bottomed wok° They
are available at your local
retail store.
A traditional round bottom wok can be used with
Wok Holder accessory, model JXWK which can be
ordered from your appliance dealer. The Wok Holder
fits on top of the range grate to provide support and
proper air circulation for traditional round bottom
woks only. Do not use flat bottomed wolcs with the
W'ok Holder"
Do not use a wok on any
other support ring. Placing
the ring over the burner
grate may cause the burner
to work improperly,
resulting in carbon

monoxide levels above allowable current standards.
This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to
use such woks without the ring unless you are using
the Wok Holder, You could be seriously burned if' the
wok tipped over.
Stove Top Grills
(on models with sealed burners)
Do not use stove top grills .._i i i,
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.
