* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be
used but must conform to the above recommended cookware requi rements. I'
Note: Do not use griddle over more than one burner. That can damage your
cooktop and that can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards. That can hazardous to your health.
Woks with flat bottoms suitable for
use on your cooktop are available
in most cookshop or hardware
stores. Round-bottomed woks
(with a support ring that does not
extend beyond the burner unit) may
also be used. The metal ring was
designed to support the wok safely
when it is filled with large amounts
of liquids (soup making) or fat
(frying).
Wire trivets: Do not use wire triv-
ets. Cookware bottoms must be in
direct contact with the grates.
DO NOT use two
burner units to heat one large pan
such as a roaster or griddle, or al-
low cooking utensils to boil dry.The
bottom suflace of the pan in either
of these situations could cause dis°
coloring or crazing of the appliance
cooking surface, and damage to the
grates and burner units.
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metaJ ring that extends beyond
the burner unit. Because this ring
traps heat, the surface unit and
cooktop surface could be damaged.
