Wok This Way
We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed
wok, available at your local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used. Do
not use a flat-bottomed wok with a wok holder.
Do not use a flat-bottomed wok on a support
ring. Placing the ring over the burner or grate
may cause the burner to work improperly,
resulting in carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards. This could be
dangerous to your health.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Cookware
Use large diameter cookware on rear burners.
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an
aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight
fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the
enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow
cookware manufacturer’s recommendations
for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware:
those for oven use only and those for cooktop
cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass
conducts heat very slowly.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will
give satisfactory results.
Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for
either surface or oven cooking.
It conducts heat very slowly and cools very
slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on a gas
cooktop.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties and is usually combined
with copper, aluminum or other metals for
improved heat distribution. Combination metal
skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are
used with medium heat as the manufacturer
recommends.
Using your cooktop.

The built-in vent system helps remove
cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods
prepared on the cooktop.
To turn on the vent fan, use the vent control
switch on the control panel.
• Turn the vent fan speed control knob to
HI, MED or LO as needed.
NOTE: Even if the fan switch is in the OFF
position, the fan will turn on automatically
and operate continuously while the grill
burner module is in use.
Continuous use of the vent system while
cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable
and less humid, reducing cooking odors
and soiling moisture that normally creates a
frequent need for cleaning.
At the HI fan speed setting, it is normal
for the nearby burner flames to be drawn
toward the vent grille. If cooking performance
is affected, then use a lower fan speed setting.
IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE
VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.
DO NOT USE THE GRILL MODULE OR
GRIDDLE IF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS NOT
OPERATIONAL.
