How To Select Flame Size; Top-Of-Range Cookware; Using A Wok - LG LRG3097ST Manuel D'utilisation

USING THE GAS SURFACE BURNERS

HOW TO SELECT FLAME SIZE

NEVER let the flames extend up the sides of the
cookware for safe handling of cookware.
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
When fast heating is desired, the flame size on a gas
burner should match the cookware you are using.

TOP-OF-RANGE COOKWARE

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly and evenly.
Most of the foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet.
Use saucepans with tightfitting lids when cooking with
minimum amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.
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.

USING A WOK

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.
Use a flat-bottomed wok
This can be hazardous
to your health.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
We recommend that you use a 14-inch or smaller
flatbottomed wok. Make sure the wok bottom sits flat
on the grate. They are available at your local retail
store.
O P E R AT I N G I N S T RU C T I O N S
Flames larger than the
bottom of the cookware
will not result in faster
heating of the
cookware and could be
hazardous.
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-ofrange 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.
STOVE-TOP GRILLS
DO NOT use stove top
grills on your surface
burners. If you use the
stove top grill on the
surface burner, it will
cause incomplete
combustion and can
result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards.
This can be hazardous to your health.
