Section Four: USING THE COOKTOP
Specialty Cookware
Flat-bottom Wok Pan
Canning Tips:
• Aflat base pan is preferred to one with a concave,
convex or rippled base.
When using two canners at the same time, use
staggered burners. Do not block air to the burners.
A flame needs the right amount of air for complete
combustion.
• Use a cover on a canner when bringing the
contents to a boil.
• Once the contents have reached a boil on HI, use
the lowest flame possible to maintain the boil or
press u re.
• Canning produces a large amount of steam. Take
precautions to prevent burns.
Round-Bottom Wok
in Support Ring
Woks- Either flat based or round bottom woks
with the accessory ring can be used on models
without a built-in wok burner. Round bottom woks
must be used with a support ring. The porcelain-
coated cast iron wok support ring must be
purchased separately.
• Canners and Stock Pots - Select one with a base
diameter that extends no more than 2 inches
(51mm) beyond the grate.

Cooking Recomendations
Suggestions for Using the Recommenda-
tions
Use the chart on Pages 17 and 18 as a guide. The
settings you use will vary depending on the pans
selected and the starting temperature of the food.
On the chart, the "Finish Setting" has been separated
for the standard and ExtraLow burners. There may
or may not be a change between the two burner
settings.
The ExtraLow setting can be either a cooking or a
holding setting.
Raise or lower the flame setting gradually. Allow time
for the pan and the food to adjust to the new setting.
