with natural gas. This is normal.

Appliance

Cooking Suggestions (For Best Results)

• Bring food to a boil. Stir well to be sure all the food is
boiling, then cover and reduce the setting to the
desired setting.
• Use a lid to keep a more constant cooking temperature.
• Check the food occasionally to see if the control knob
should be turned to a lower or higher setting.
• It is normal to stir food occasionally.
• There should be steam and slight quivering of the
liquid's surface while simmering.
• Use proper cookware. (See "Proper Cookware" on
page 11.)
• Center the pan over the burner before turning the
burner on.
• Refer to the "Surface Burner Cooking
Recommendations" chart on page 11 for suggested
settings.
Choosing Cookware
Cookware Recommendations
Pan Bottom Diameter
• The flame should be the same size as the
bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small
pans with high flame settings as the flames
can lick up the sides of the pan.
• Oversize pans that span two burners are
placed front to back, not side to side.
• For best cooking results, large pans should
not extend over the sides of the grates.
Use Balanced Pans
• Balance is important for stability and even
cooking.
• Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate
without rocking or wobbling.
• Center pan over burner.

Proper Cookware

Cookware Characteristics
• Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat
evenly.
• Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may
cook unevenly.
• Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks
more evenly at low-to-medium settings.
• Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and
stability.
• DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or
ridged as they heat unevenly.
