Matching cookware to burner
Use flat-bottomed pans, and make sure they match the size of the 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
Small pan support
This pan support is to be placed on top of the dual burner when
using small diameter pans, in order to prevent them from tipping
over. Use the burner with the inner crown only.
Wok stand
The wok stand fits over the triple-ring wok or dual burner trivet.
Important!
Using a wok without the stand may cause the wok to tip or the wok or dual burner to operate
incorrectly.
Do not use the stand for ordinary, flat-bottomed saucepans.
The wok stand MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the trivet for the triple-ring wok or dual burner.
The cooktop becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.
