results.

properties
and is usually
combined
with copper,
alu-
minum or other metals for improved
heat distribution,
Combination
metal skillets generally work satisfactorily
if

recommends.
Wok Cooking (on
models with sealed burners)
We recommend
that you
use only a flat-bottomed
wok.
They
are available
at your local retail store.
Do
not
use
woks
that
have
support
rings.
Use
of these
types
of woks,
with or without
the ring in
place,
can
be dangerous.
Placing
the ring
over
the
burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly
resufting
in carbon
monoxide
levels above
allowable
current
standards.
This could be dangerous
to your
health.
Do not try to use such woks without
the ring.
You could be seriously
burned if the wok tipped over.
