How to Select Flume Size
Forsafe handling of cookware,never let the
flamesextend up the sidesof thecookware.
Watch the flame,not the knob, as you reduce
heat. When fast heating is desired,the flame
sizeon a gas burner should match the
cookware gou are using.
Flames larger than the bottom of the
cookware will not result in faster heating
of the cookware and could be hazardous.
