"Do not use a wok on models with sealed burners
ff the wok has a round metal ring that is placed
over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon

•Use proper pan size. Avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having fiat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers and large enough to cover burner grates. This will both save cleaning time and
prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and will remain cool
•Keep all plastics away from the top burners.
•Do not leave plastic items on the
they may melt if left too close to the vent°
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot
air from the vent may ignite flammable items and
