COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS
To avoid the risk of serious injury, damage to the range or cookware, please observe the following guidelines.
Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc., should never be used on the cook top.
Placement of large stock pots should be staggered when used on the cook top. Select the base diameter of the pot to match the
diameter of the flame. The diameter of the flame and the diameter of the pan bottom should match or be slightly smaller. The use
of pots too large or too small will compromise cooking performance.
Do not place food packaged or wrapped in aluminum foil directly on the burner grate above the burner. Aluminum foil can melt
during cooking.
Be careful to not let plastic, paper or cloth come in contact with a hot burner grate. These materials can catch fire or melt.
Never let a pan boil dry – and if it occurs remember it can be extremely hot – and very dangerous. If this should occur, turn off the
burner immediately. Wait a while, until the pot cools down enough to handle – this could be several minutes, but could save you
from burns or other serious injury.
The pan bottom should be flat, the heavier the better – and well balanced on the cook top grate – sitting flat without rocking –
preferably with tight fitting lids. Try not to slide the pot across the grates – while it is very handy to do so – you may end up
scratching the pot or the grate.
Always be careful when using high flames, as in wok cooking, as they may contact flammable materials or make the handles of the
wok very hot. Use the wok ring (optional) to stabilize the wok.
