An incorrectly positioned wok may cause injuries. The
wok is not stable and may overturn.

¡
Ensure that the size of
the cookware is suit-
able for the burner
size.
¡
Never use small cook-
ware on large burners.
¡
Ensure that the flame
does not touch the
sides of the cookware.
¡

Before using the appli-
ance, ensure that the
