Figure 1
For ceramic glass cooktop models,
use only flat bottomed woks
(without support rings).
DO NOT use a wok if
it is equipped with a metal ring that
extends beyond the surface ele-
ment. Because this ring traps heat,
the surface element and cooktop
surface could be damaged.
Wire trivets : Do not use wire triv-
ets, Cookware bottoms must be in
direct contact with the surface
cooking areas.
DO NOT use two
surface cooking areas to heat one
large pan such as a roaster or
griddle. If the pan boils dry, the bot-
tom surface of the pan could dam-
age the glass ceramic cooktop,
cause discoloring or crazing of a
_orcelain enamel surface, and
damage surface heating elements
and drip pans.
