UsingWoks
DO NOT use two
surface cooking areas to heat one
large pan such as a roaster or grid-
dle. If the pan boils dry, the bottom
surface of the pan could damage
the glass ceramic cooktop, cause
discoloring or crazing of a porce-
lain enamel surface, and damage
surface heating elements and drip
pans.
For ceramic glass cooktop mod-
els, use only flat bottomed woks
(without support rings).
SurfaceCooking
Use Proper Cookware
Cookware should
have flat bottoms that
make good contact
with the entire surface
heating element.
Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across
the bottom of the
cookware (See Figure
2). Be sure to follow
the recommendations
for using cookware as
shown in Figure 1.
Note: The size and type of cookware
used will influence the setting needed
for best cooking results.

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 cook-
ing areas.
