Cookware recommendations
¡ Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat
evenly.
¡ Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may cook
unevenly.
¡ Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks
more evenly at low to medium settings.
¡ Flat heavy bottom pans provide even heat and stability.
¡ DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or
ridged as they heat unevenly.
6.2 Using cookware
The selection and positioning of the cookware affects the
safety and energy efficiency of your appliance.
WARNING
Flammable objects may ignite.
Maintain a distance of at least 2½" (50ºmm) between
▶
the cookware and flammable objects.
Note: When using certain pots or pans, a slight and tem-
porary deformation of the steel cooking surface may oc-
cur. This is normal and does not affect the functionality of
the appliance.
Ensure that the size of the cookware is
suitable for the burner size. Never use
small cookware on large burners. En-
sure that the flame does not touch the
sides of the cookware.
Do not use deformed cookware. De-
formed cookware is not stable on the
cooktop and may tip over. Use cook-
ware with a thick, flat base.
Do not cook without a lid. Ensure that
the lid does not move. When cooking
without a lid, a large amount of the en-
ergy will escape.
Position the cookware in the middle of
the burner, otherwise it may tip over.
Do not position large cookware on the
burners close to the controls. The con-
trols may be damaged due to overheat-
ing.

6.3 Tips for using a wok

wok.
An incorrectly positioned wok may cause injuries. The wok
is not stable and may overturn.
Use the wok only on the wok burner and the wok ring.
▶
Never set the wok ring and wok on the medium burner
and large burner.
Use a wok with a domed base. When cooking with a wok,
you need a wok ring. Place the wok ring over the dual-
flame burner onto the burner grate. Ensure that the wok is
stable on the wok ring when you are cooking.
Maximum diameter of the cookware
base
11¾" (30 cm)
10¼" (26 cm)
7¾" (20 cm)
6¼" (16 cm)
Place the cookware on the burner
grates. Never place the cookware di-
rectly on the burner. Before using the
appliance, ensure that the burner
grates and the burner caps are posi-
tioned correctly.
Handle the cookware that is on the
cooktop carefully. Do not bang on the
cooktop. Do not place heavy weights
on the cooktop.
Never use multiple burners to heat up
cookware, such as roaster, pan, grill
stone. The build-up of heat that results
from this will damage the appliance.
When cooking with a wok, use the wok
ring. Place the wok ring over the wok
burner onto the burner grate. Ensure
that the wok is stable on the wok ring
when you are cooking.
