Using your gas cooktop

Choosing a burner

Use flat-bottomed pans, and make sure that they match your burner, as shown in the following table. A small pot on a large burner is not efficient.

Important!

Using a wok without the stand may cause the burner to operate incorrectly. Do not use the stand for ordinary, flat-bottomed saucepans.

The wok stand MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan support for the triple ring wok burner. The cooktop becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.
