Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-
bottomed wok. They are available at your
localretail store.
Do not usewoks that hove support rings. Use
of these types of woks,with or without the
ring in place, can be dangerous.
Placingthe ring over the surface unit will
cause a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Donot try to use such
woks without the ring.Youcould be seriously
burned ifthe wok tips over.
