Surface Cooking
Using the Wok Stand
Always use potholders to remove the wok stand from the grate.
Allow the wok stand to cool before removing. Do not set hot wok stand on
surfaces that cannot withstand high heat such as countertops.
The Wok Stand provided with your range is designed to allow
only round-bottomed woks up to 14 inches in diameter (35.5 cm).
The Wok Stand must be used on either of the front burners, although it is
recommended that you use the larger burner for best performance. Because the
rim of the Wok Stand extends beyond the edge of the grate, DO NOT use the
rear burner next to Wok stand when it is positioned over front burner. Spills or
flame-ups may occur that may result in personal injury or cooktop damage.
If properly positioned, the Wok Stand cannot slide off the grate.
To properly position the Wok Stand
With the grate in position over the burner, set the Wok Stand on top of the grate.
Turn the Wok Stand, as shown, until the grate fingers fit into the slots on the
bottom of the stand.
Be sure the grate stand is positioned correctly and stably before
use to prevent hot spills and possible burns.
Round-bottomed woks (with a support ring that does not extend beyond
the burner unit) may also be used without the Wok Stand. The metal ring was
designed to support the wok safely when it is filled with large amounts of liquids
(soup making) or fat (frying).
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the
burner grate. Because this ring traps heat, the burner and cooktop surface
could be damaged.
