ENGLISH
• 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 work
satisfactorily if they are used with medium
heat as the manufacturer recommends.
•Enamelware
- Under some conditions, the enamel of this
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-of-range
cooking.
• 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.
NOTE
• Match the size of the cookware to the amount of
food being cooked to save energy when heating.
Heating 1/2 quart of water requires more energy
in a 3-quart pot than in a 1-quart pot.
Using a Wok
If using a wok, use a 14-inch or smaller flat-
bottomed of wok. Make sure that the wok bottom
sits flat on the grate.
CAUTION
• 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. This
can be hazardous to your health.
Using the Wok Grate
Use the included wok grate to support a 12" to 14"
round-bottomed wok.
CAUTION
• Turn off all burners and allow wok grate, burner
grates, and cooktop to cool before installing or
removing wok grate.
• The wok grate retains heat for a long time.
Always use an oven mitt when installing or
removing the wok grate. Do not store the wok
grate on the burner grate.
• Do not use flat-bottomed cookware or
incorrectly sized woks with the wok grate. The
cookware or wok could tip and cause personal
injury.
• Do not use a wok larger than 14" with the wok
grate. Doing so could cause burner flames to
spread excessively and damage the cooktop.
1 Turn off all burners and allow the grates and
cooktop to cool before installing or removing
the wok grate.
2 Remove the griddle, if necessary. Do not
remove the standard burner grates.
3 Place the wok grate on top of the left or right
front burner grate, aligning the notches on
the wok grate with the burner grate's fingers.
• Make sure the side marked FRONT is
toward the front.
