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.
Cookware
Use large diameter cookware 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 lids when 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.
How to Operate the Downdraft 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.
• Press down on the left side of the
switch to turn the fan on.
• Press down on the right side of the
switch to turn the fan off.
NOTE: Even if the switch is in the
off position, the fan will operate
automatically when the grill burner
is in use.
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.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most
skillets will give satisfactory results.
Heatproof Glass-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.
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.
The appearance of the burner flames
may be affected when the vent fan is
operating.
IN CASE OF A POWER FAILURE, THE
VENTILATION SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.
