the range of listed diameters (see the
section on "Cookware"). If the diameter

causing damage to the countertop,
walls, and appliance panels. The
manufacturer will not be held liable for
such damages.

or barbecue stones that are large
enough to span several burners. They
can trap heat, which can damage the
appliance.

Do NOT let the burner flame rise up
beyond the bottom of the cookware and
up the sides.
