use only a flat-bottomed
wok.

pi=, is dangerous because
the wok is unstable. With the
ring in place, heat will be trapped inside the ring
and may cause damage to the porcelain
cooktop.
h not try to use such woks without the ring. You
codd be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
Cookware
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other
metis.
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
L
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of
the surface unit.
me pan should not extend over the
Not over 1“

edge
of the surface unit more than 1 inch.
Deep Fat F@ng
h not oveti]ll cookwm with fat that may spill over when adding food.
Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch food frying at high
tempera~s.
Keep the range and hood clean from grease.
