2. Remove the gratesand lift the cooktop up (see theLift-Up

3. Locate the two pilot ports and light each of them with a match.

Note: If the pilot is too high or low, you can adjust it. See the

“Adjustthe Surface Burner Pilots If Necessary” section of the Installation Instructions.

4. Lower thecooktop. Yoursurface burners are now ready for use.

5. Observe lightecIburners. Compare the flames to pictures in the Problem Solver. If any flame is unsatisfactory, call for service.

JVhen using aiuminum or

JWhenboiling, use this same flame size—1/2inch smaller than the bottomof the cookware—no

matter what the cookware is made of. Foods cookjust as quickly at

cooking processes that need iivigorous boil.

-., ;

Top”of”Rangecookware

Alumi~Iun}:Medium-weight cookware isrecommendedbecause

it heatsquickly andevenly.Most foodsbrown evenly in an aluminumskillet.Minerals in food and water will stainbut willnot harm aluminum.A quick scour with a soap-filledsteel woolpad after each usekeeps aluminum

cookware lookingshiny andnew. Use saucepanswith tight-fitting lids when cookingwith minimum amountsof water.

Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skilletswill 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 Llsuallycombined 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.

wok cooking

—

Werecommend thatyou useonly [ flat-bottomedwok.They are availableat yourlocal retailstore.

Donot use woksthat have suppo17

rings. Use of thesetypes of woks, with or withoutthe ring in place, can be dangerous. Placingthe ring over theburner grate may cause the burner to work improperly resulting in carbon monoxide

levels above allowablecurrent standards.This could be dangero~ to your health. Do not try to use such woks without thering. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

use ofstoveTopGrills

(onmodelswith sealedburners)

Do not use stove top grills on your

sealed gas burners. If you use the

stove top grill on the sealed burner it will cause incomplete combustion and can result ii~ exposure to carbon monoxide
