Using your gas cooktop
Choosing a burner
Use flat-bottomed pans, and make sure that they match your burner, as shown in the following
table. A small pot on a large burner is not efficient.
Diameters of pans which may be used on the cooktop
Wok stand
Important!
Using a wok without the stand may cause the burner to operate incorrectly.
Do not use the stand for ordinary, flat-bottomed saucepans.
The wok stand MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan support for the triple ring wok burner.
The cooktop becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.
