Using the wok stand
Important!
Place the wok stand as shown.
Always use the wok stand for wok cooking. Using a wok without the stand may cause the wok to
tip or the burner to operate incorrectly.
Do not use the wok stand for ordinary, flat-bottomed saucepans.
Only use the wok stand on the dual or triple-ring wok burners.
The cooktop becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.
