Using Woks

For ceramic glass cooktop

models, use only ﬂ at bottomed

woks (without support rings).

DO NOT use a wok if it is

equipped with a metal ring that extends

beyond the surface element. Because this

ring traps heat, the surface element and

cooktop surface could be damaged.

Wire trivets: Do not use wire trivets.

Cookware bottoms must be in direct

contact with the surface cooking areas.

DO NOT use two

surface cooking areas, if your

appliance is not equipped with a

bridge element, to heat one large pan

such as a roaster or griddle. DO NOT

allow cooking utensils to boil dry. Either

of these situations could damage the

glass ceramic cooktop.

Surface Cooking

Use Proper Cookware

Fig. 1

CORRECT

• Flat bottom and straight sides.

• Tight ﬁ tting lids.

• Weight of handle does not tilt

pan. Pan is well balanced.

• Pan sizes match the amount of

food to be prepared and the

size of the surface element.

• Made of material that

conducts heat well.

• Easy to clean.

• Always match pan diameter to

element surface diameter.

INCORRECT

• Curved and warped pan bottoms.

• Pan overhangs unit by more than

one-half inch.

• Pan is smaller than the element.

• Heavy handle tilts the pan.

Cookware should have

ﬂ at bottoms that make

good contact with the

entire surface heating

element. Check for

ﬂ atness by rotating a

ruler across the bottom

of the cookware (See

Fig. 1). Be sure to follow

the recommendations for

using cookware as shown

to the right.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will

inﬂ uence the setting needed for best cooking

results.
