After Lighting a Burner
Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the
one you want to use.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period
of time without
cookware on the grate. The finish
on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb
the
heut.
Be sure the burners and
grates
are coo]
before
you place your hand,
a
pot holder, cleaning cloths
or
other
muteriols
on them.
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce
heat. The
I’l:une
size on
a
gtis
burner should match
the cookware you
arc
using.
n
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE,
NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE
SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame
lill-ger
than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only
serves
to heat the handle.
