Before Using Cooktop

Ceramic Glass Cooktop
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove
any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from
the manufacturing process. Clean your glass top before the first
time you use it. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is
recommended.
Cooking Utensils
Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking
utensils that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for glass cooktop use without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. This is a matter of
personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good
condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide
maximum performance and convenience.
