Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-
bottomed wok. They are available at your
local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Use of these types of woks, with or
without the ring in place, can be dangerous.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use
such woks without the ring. You could
be seriously burned if the wok tips over.
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb
heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may
cook unevenly if not combined with other
metals.
For best cooking results, pans should be
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the size of the surface unit.
The pan should not extend over the edge
of the surface unit more than 2.5 cm
1 inch.
Not over 1 inch
1“

To remove a rack
To replace,
a rack in the lowest position (A), you will need
to use caution when pulling the rack out. We
recommend that you pull the rack out several
inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the
rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low
and you could be burned if you place your hand
in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out.
Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door
when using the rack in the lowest position (A).

The U.S. Department of Agriculture
says “Rare beef is popular, but you
should know that cooking it to only
60 °C (140 °F) means some food
poisoning organisms may survive.”
