.Do not use awok on models with sealed burners
ff the wok has a round metal ring that is placed
over the burner grate to support the wok. This
ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the
burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the
burner to work improperly, This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by current
standards, resulting in a health hazard°

on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause
hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan_
* Use the least possible amount of fat for effective
shallow or deepffat frying. Filling the pan too full
of fat can cause spillovers when fbod is added.

easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to properly contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers and large enough to cover
burner grates_This will both save cleaning time and
prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy
spattering or spiltovers left on the range can ignite.
Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and
will remain cool.
