Avoid leaving any burner on without a utensil. Doing so
can overheat the grate and cause the enamel finish to
become damaged.
As a safety precaution you should set
controls so flame heats pan bottom only
and does not lick pan sides. Flames licking
pan sides are unsafe and waste heat.
If a cooktop burner falls to IIght within five seconds, turn
the knob to OFF and wait five minutes before trying
again. If the burner still will not light, check the service
section In this manual.

WOK COOKING
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok.
Flat-bottomed woks are available at your local retail
store.
Do not use woks which have support rings. Use ofthese
types of woks, with or without the ring In place, can be
dangerous. Placing the ring over the burner grate may
damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, placing
the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to
work Improperly resulting In carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards. This could be dan-
gerous to your health. See the Safety Section of this
manual. Do not try to use such woks without the ring.
You could be seriously burned If the wok tipped over.
