•
Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the
cooktop, but 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 top-of-range cooking.
•
Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. Hot air from the vent can melt or
ignite plastic items or cause a building up of dangerous pressure in closed
plastic containers.
•
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.
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
space.
CAUTION
Do not remove the wok grate until the
•
cooktop grates, surfaces, and wok grate
completely cool down.
•
When using the cooktop or oven, 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.
