Until you get used to the settings, use
the following as a guide. For best results,
start cooking at the high setting; then turn
the control knob down to continue cooking.
SETTING
RECOMMENDED USE
LITE
HI l To start foods cooking.
l To bring liquids to a boil.
Medium l To hold a rapid boil.

icing.

LITE position.
In case of a prolonged power
failure
Surface burners with electric ignitors can be
manually lighted. Hold a lit match near a
burner and slowly turn the control knob on
until the burner lights. After the burner
lights, turn the control knob to the desired
setting. Power failures will not affect stand-
ing pilots. Do not attempt to operate an
electric ignition oven during a power
failure.
Burn, Fire, and Explosion Hazard
l Burner flame should not extend beyond
the edge of the cooking utensil. The
flame could burn you and cause poor
cooking results.
l Be sure all control knobs are turned
to OFF when you are not cooking.
Someone could be burned or a fire
could start if a burner is accidentally
left ON.
l If the flame should go out while cook-
ing, or if there is a strong gas odor, turn
the burners OFF. Wait five minutes for
the gas odor to disappear before
relighting burner. If gas odor is still
present, see safety note on page 3.
Failure to follow these precautions
could result in explosion or fire.
Product Damage Hazard
Do not leave an empty utensil, or one
which has boiled dry, on a hot surface
burner.
The utensil could overheat and could
damage the utensil or cooking product.
Cookware tips
No one brand of cookware is best for all
people. Knowing something about pan
materials and construction will help you select
the correct cookware for your needs.
l NOTE: For best results and greater fuel
efficiency, use only flat-bottomed cookware
in good condition.
l The pan should have straight sides and a
tight-fitting lid.
l Choose medium to heavy gauge (thick-
ness) pans that are fairly lightweight.
l The pan material (metal or glass) affects
how fast heat transfers from the surface
burners through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom.
Choose pans that provide the best cooking
results.
l Handles should be made of a sturdy, heat-
resistant material and be securely attached
to the pan.
