Flame level
The ames on the burners should always stay under the cookware, and should not
extend beyond the cookware bottom at any time.
WARNING
Flames larger than the cookware bottom may result in a re or physical injury.
When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the burner knob quickly. Watch the
ame to make sure it stays on.
After turning on a surface burner, make sure that the burner has ignited. Adjust
the level of the ame by turning the burner knob.
Always turn off the surface burner controls before removing cookware. All
surface burner controls should be turned OFF when you are not cooking.
Always turn the burners off before you go to sleep or go out.
If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualied service
technician. NEVER use an open ame to locate a leak.

Material characteristics
Aluminum: An excellent heat conductor. Some types of food may cause the
aluminum to darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and
pitting.
Copper: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
Stainless steel: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance, but is
durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
Cast-Iron: A poor conductor but retains heat very well.
Enamelware: Heating characteristics depend on the base material.
Glass: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specied for range
top cooking or oven use.
