gas surface burners. A stove top grill will cause 
incomplete combustion resulting in carbon monoxide 
levels above allowable standards. This could be 
hazardous to your health.

Removing your Cookware from the Cooktop

When removing hot cookware from the burner, be sure 
to lift it high enough to not come in contact with your 
control knobs. Hot cookware coming into contact with the 
control knobs could cause damage, such as melting or 
warping.

Cooktop Cookware

Aluminum:

 Medium-weight cookware is recommended 

because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown 
evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-
fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

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 or as the manufacturer recommends.

Cast-Iron:

 If heated slowly, most skillets will give 

satisfactory results.

Enamelware:

 Under some conditions, the enamel 

of some cookware may melt. Follow the cookware 
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass:

for oven use only and those for surface burner 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 the cookware manufacturer’s 
directions to be sure it can be used on gas surface 
burners.

water. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. 
When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at 
room temperature and not in direct sunlight.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and 
basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration 
and should be wiped up as soon as hot surfaces cool, 
then clean and rinse.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy 
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe 
the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner 
instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend

small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit 
and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp, 
soft sponge.
