• After turning on a surface burner, make sure that the burner has ignited even if
the knob LED is on. Adjust the level of the flame by turning the burner knob.
• Always turn off the surface burner controls before removing cookware. All
surface burner controls should be turned OFF when you are not cooking.
• Always turn the burners off before you go to sleep or go out.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service
technician. NEVER use an open flame to locate a leak.
• If the LED on the control knob doesn't go on when the surface burner has ignited,
call a qualified service technician.
• If the knob LED illuminates, but the surface burner does not ignite, turn off the
control knob immediately.
Cookware
Requirements
• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Tight-fitting lid
• Well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot or
pan.
Material characteristics
• Aluminum: An excellent heat conductor. Some types of food may cause the
aluminum to darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and
pitting.
• Copper: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
• Stainless steel: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance but is
durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast-Iron: A poor conductor but retains heat very well.
• Enamelware: Heating characteristics depend on the base material.
• Glass: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specified for range
top cooking or oven use.
• Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop
and not over other surface burners. This will minimize the chance of burns,
spillovers, and the ignition of flammable materials that can be caused if pots or
pans are bumped accidently.
• When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for range top cooking.
• Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. Hot air from the vent can melt or
ignite plastic items or cause a building up of dangerous pressure in closed plastic
containers.
• Make sure you hold the handle of a wok or a small one-handled pot while
cooking.
Wok grate
Woks are often used for stir frying, pan frying, deep frying, and poaching. The
provided wok grate supports 12" to 14" woks.
Size limitations
CAUTION
• Do not place a small pan or pot with a
bottom diameter of about 6 inches or less
on the center grate. This cookware may tip
over. Use the rear burners for this small-
sized cookware.
* : 6 inches or less
1. Turn off all burners, and wait until the
grates completely cool down.
2. Place the wok grate on either side grate.
3. Put a wok on the wok grate. Make sure
the wok settles on the wok grate.
4. Turn on the burner, and adjust the flame
level as appropriate.
