Using the surface burners.
Wok This Way
(on models with sealed burners)
We recommend that you use a flat-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 woks with the Wok 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.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Stove Top Grills
(on models with sealed burners)
Do not use stove top grills 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.
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 enamel of some 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 (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
cookware manufacturer’s directions to be
sure it can be used on gas ranges.
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.
