the heat.

Air
Adjw@ent
An air adjustment
shutter for each
surface burner
regulates
the
flow
of air to the flame.
When the right amount of air flows into the
burner,
the
flame will
be
steady, relatively quiet
and
have approximately 3/4-inch sharp blue cones. This is
usually the case with factory preset shutter settings.
With too much air, the
flame
will
be unsteady,
possibly won’t burn
rdl
the way around, and will be
noisy, sounding like a blowtorch.
With not enough air, you won’t see any sharp blue
cones in the
flame,
you may see yellow tips and soot
may accumulate on pots
and
pans.
To adjust the flow of air to the burners, rotate the
shutters to allow more or less air into the burner tubes
as needed.
How to Select Name Sbe
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
The flame size on a gas burner should match the
cookw~e you are using.

Almnin
um: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats
quictiy
and evenly.
Most foods brown evenly in an
durrdnum
stiet.
Use saucepans with tight-fitting
tids
when cooking
with minimum amounts of water.
Cast-iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.
Enamelware:
Un&r
some conditions, the enamel
of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass:
There
are 2 types of glass cookware-those
for oven use
ody
and those for top-of-rmge cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.
Hwtproof
Gks
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.
Stahdess
Steel: This
meti
done
has poor heating
properties and is usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other
metis
for improved heat
distribution. Combination
meti
skillets usually work
satisfactorily if they are used with
medium
heat as the
manufacturer recommends.
