recommendations for using cookware as
shown in Figure 2,

Weight of handle does not tilt
pan, Pan is well balanced,
o Pan sizes match the amount
of food to be prepared,
INCORRECT
o Curved and warped pan bottoms,
o Pan overhangs unit by more than
2,5 cm (1"),
o Heavy handle tilts pan,
o Flame extends beyond unit,
Note: The size and type of cookware used
wiii influence the setting needed for best

* Specialty pans such as lobster pots, griddles and pressure cookers may be
used but must conform to the above recommended cookware q
Woks with fiat bottoms suitable for use on
your cooktop are available in most
cookshop or hardware stores, Round°
bottomed woks (with a support ring that
does not extend beyond the burner unit)
may also be used, The metal ring was
designed to support the wok safely when it
is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup
making) or fat (frying),
Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets,
Cookware bottoms must be in direct contact
with the grates,
DO NOT use a wok if it is equipped
with a metal ring that extends beyond
the burner unit. Because this ring
traps heat, the surface unit and
cooktop surface could be damaged.

cooking and can be used on both sides

other cookware on the griddle, Doing so

top of the grate positioning the notches in
the griddle over the grate fingers(Figures 3
