Use a flat-bottomed wok.
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.
Cookware
Use large diameter cookwure 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 lidswhen 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 skilletswill
give satisfactory results.
HeatproofGlass-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.

How to Operate the Downdraff Vent System
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, PIED or LO as needed.
NOTE: Even if the fun switch is in the OFF
position, the fun 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.
