The size and type of utensil used, the amount and type 

of food being cooked will influence the settings needed 

to obtain the best cooking results.

Fig. 2

For most cooking; start on the highest setting and then 

turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the 

recommendations below as a guide for determining proper 

flame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)
For deep fat frying; use a thermometer and adjust 

the surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the 

food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too 

hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will 

be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too 

much food at once as the food will neither brown or cook 

properly.

*These settings are based for medium-weight metal or 

aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using 

other types of pans.

The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment. 

A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in a well-lighted 

room. Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp. Adjust 

or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.

can melt on the range cooktop. If these items melt 

they may damage the cooktop.

The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of 

food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware 

resists staining & pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
Stainless  - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking 

results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain 

heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is 

reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics 

will vary depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.

For the best possible 

cooking results when using 

the  cooktop, always use 

quality cookware in good 

condition. Pans should 

have flat bottoms that sit 

level on the burner grate. 

Before using cookware, 

check for flatness by 

rotating a ruler across the 

bottom of the cookware 

(Fig. 1).

Do not place flammable items such as plastic 

wrappings, spoon holders or plastic salt and pepper 

shakers on the cooktop when it is in use. These items 

could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden 

spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the range 

cooktop.

High flame

Start most foods; bring water to a 

boil; pan broiling.

Medium flame

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, 

gravies; steaming.

Low flame

Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing.
