Stove Top Grills
Do not use an after-market stove top grill on your 
gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause 
incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide 
levels above allowable standards. This could be 
hazardous to your health.

Using a Wok
Use only a flat-bottomed wok with a diameter of 14 
inches or less. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat on 
the grate.

Do not use a wok support ring. Placing the ring over the 
burner or grate may cause the burner to work improperly, 
resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable 
standards. This could be hazardous to your health.

In Case of a Power Failure
In case of a power failure, you can light the surface 
burners on your range with a match. Hold a lit match 
to the burner ports, then slowly turn the control knob to 
the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting 
burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure 
occurs will continue to operate normally. If Lock Control 
(on some models) is in use at the time of a power failure, 
the surface burners cannot be lit.

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Do not use stove top grills

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.

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.

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.
