Pan size

– Set the cooktop to a high flame when

using a large diameter pan and low

flame when using small diameter

pans.

– Generally, wide / shallow pans will

heat quicker and cook more evenly

than narrow / tall ones.

– Using oversized pans may cause the

flames to spread out and damage

the surrounding countertop or other

countertop appliances. The proper

pan size will also improve efficiency.

– Do not use small pans with high

flame settings, the flames may climb

the sides of the pan.

– Pots with a smaller diameter than the

pan support and pots that do not sit

securely (without wobbling) are

hazardous and should not be used.

Using the cooktop

Unlike pans used on an electric

cooktop, the bases do not need to be

even for good results.

Thick pan bases will give more even

results, as hot spots are reduced due to

better heat distribution.

Thin pan bases will conduct the heat

faster but not as evenly as thick pan

bases. Stir the food frequently to

prevent burning.

Wok burners

You can use a wok on these burners

with out any additional rings, trivets,

etc.

If you wish to use the wok ring, c, for

extra stability please put it on as shown

in the following illustrations (depending

on your grates).
