Using the wok stand (accessory not included)

The Wok Stand is designed to allow round-
bottomed woks to be used. It is recommended
that you use a 14 inch diameter (35.5 cm)
or less Wok. It is recommended that you use
the POWER burner with the wok stand for best
performance. If properly positioned, the Wok Stand
will not slide off the grate.
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.
Be sure the Wok Stand is positioned correctly and
stable before use to prevent hot spills and possible
burns.
To Properly Position the Wok Stand:
With the grate in position over the burner, set the
Wok Stand on top of the grate positioning the
notches in the Wok Stand over the cooktop grate
fingers (See Figure 1).
NOTE
The Wok cooking performance is best on the POWER
burner.
Be sure to ALWAYS use the Wok Stand if the stability of
the wok is uncertain. If cooking large amounts of liquid
food without the Wok Stand, the wok may tip and spill
over causing burns.
Flat-bottom woks with large flat bottoms may also
be used on your cooktop Surface Burner Grates
without the Wok Stand (See Figure 2). Insure the
stability of the flat-bottom wok before cooking
without the Wok Stand. If unstable, DO NOT use
the flat-bottom wok without the Wok Stand.
Round-bottom woks (with a support ring)
should NOT be used (See Figure 3). The
supporting ring was not designed for proper or
stable use on the Surface Burner Grates.
