• Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop
and not over other surface burners. This will minimize the chance of burns,
spillovers, and the ignition of flammable materials that can be caused if pots or
pans are bumped accidently.
• When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for range top cooking.
• Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. Hot air from the vent can melt or ignite
plastic items or cause build up of dangerous pressure in closed plastic containers.
You may get severe burns if you touch the surfaces near the vent while the oven
is operating.
• Make sure you hold the handle of a wok or a small one-handled pot while
cooking.
Wok grate
Woks are often used for stir frying, pan frying, deep frying, and poaching. The
provided wok grate supports 12" to 14" woks.
Size limitations
CAUTION
• Do not place a small pan or pot with a
bottom diameter of about 6 inches or less
on the center grate. This cookware may tip
over. Use the rear burners for this small-
sized cookware.
* : 6 inches or less
1. Turn off all burners, and wait until the
grates completely cool down.
2. Place the wok grate on either side grate.
3. Put a wok on the wok grate. Make sure
the wok settles on the wok grate.
4. Turn on the burner, and adjust the flame
level as appropriate.
Griddle
The removable coated griddle provides an extra cooking surface. This is useful
especially when cooking meat, pancakes, or other foods requiring a large cooking
area.
CAUTION
• Do not remove the wok grate until the
cooktop grates, surfaces, and wok grate
completely cool down.
• When you use the wok with the cooktop
or when the oven is on, the wok grate on
the cooktop may become very hot. Use
oven gloves when placing or removing
the wok grate.
• Do not use pans with a flat bottom or
woks with a diameter less than the wok
ring diameter. The pan or wok may tip
over.
• Do not use an oversized pan. The burner
flames may spread out, causing damage
nearby.
• Do not use the wok grate and the griddle
at the same time.
• This cooktop is not designed to flame
foods or cook with a wok or wok ring
attachment. If foods are flamed, they
should only be flamed under a ventilation
hood that is on.
The griddle can be used only with the
center burner on the center grate. Use
caution when putting the griddle on the
center grate.
