Cookware
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface 
cooking area, element or surface burner.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-
fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy 
thickness.
Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop or grates. Aluminum and 
copper may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, 
when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the 
grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is 
transferred, which affects cooking results.
Cookware with nonstick surfaces should not be used under the 
broiler.
Check for flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the 
bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or 
light should be visible between it and the cookware.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material 
characteristics.
For best results, the cookware should be centered above the 
burner with the bottom sitting level on the grate. The flame should 
be adjusted so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan.
Home Canning
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface 
burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently 
used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the grate above the burner. 
Do not place canner on 2 surface burners at the same time.
For more information, contact your local agricultural extension 
office, or refer to published home canning guides. Companies 
that manufacture home canning products can also offer 
assistance.
OVEN USE
The normal operation of the range will include several noises that 
may be heard each time the Bake or Broil burners ignite during the 
cooking cycle:
gas valves may make a “popping” sound when opening or 
closing
igniters will “click” several times until a flame is sensed
a “poof” sound is heard when a Bake or Broil burner ignites
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few 
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the 
fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to 
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-
ventilated room.
