with a metal ring that extends beyond
the burner unit. Because this ring traps
heat, the surface unit and cooktop
surface could be damaged.

on your cooktop are available in most
cookshop or hardware stores. Round-
bottomed woks (with a support ring that
does not extend beyond the burner unit)
may also be used. The metal ring was
