Multi-Function Cooktop Care

 

14

Cookware Selection

For best results, we recommend medium- to heavy-weight 
cookware. Pans should have a flat base, metal handle 
and good-fitting cover. Look for pans that are made of 
materials with good heat conductivity, such as aluminum 
and copper. Use the following guidelines when selecting 
cookware:

  Select deep pans with high sides rather than ones with 

wide bases and low sides to avoid boilovers. 

  Cover pans while cooking to improve cooking 

efficiency. Water boils faster, using less fuel, and the 
kitchen stays cooler.

  Select lower flame settings when using pans made of 

cast iron, enameled steel or glass ceramic, or pans 
coated with a nonstick finish. High heat may cause hot 
spots, scorching and burning.

  Pans with oversize bases that extend beyond the 

cooktop frame should not be used. On high settings, 
heat may be trapped beneath the pan causing perma-
nent damage to the surface finish. 

WOKS

Wok cooking is versatile and quick. The bowl-like pan 
distributes heat evenly and is perfect for stir-frying, 
steaming, stewing and braising. 

A wok with a diameter of up to 18"

 (457)

 can be used with 

the wok grate provided with your multi-function cooktop. 
Woks are available in carbon steel, stainless steel and 
aluminum. If possible, purchase a wok with a lid. Follow 
the wok manufacturer’s directions for cooking methods.

To prepare the wok for cooking, wash in soapy water and 
dry thoroughly. If the wok is made of carbon steel, the wok 
must be seasoned to prevent rusting. To season, wipe the 
inside of the wok with oil. Heat over high heat until a dark 
film forms. Do not remove the film.

Use the wok grate provided with your multi-function 
cooktop for wok cooking. The wok should be centered on 
top of the burner when placed on the wok grate.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 When cooking with a wok, make sure 

that the wok is sitting level on the grate to prevent spills 
and uneven cooking.
