Ceramic Glass
Clean the cooktop after each use to help avoid scratches, pitting,
abrasions, and to condition the glass surface. Ceramic glass
cooktop cleaner and a cooktop scraper are also recommended
for stubborn soils. Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, or
harsh chemicals for cleaning. The Cooktop Care Kit Part Number
31605 contains all of the items needed to clean and condition
your ceramic glass cooktop. Refer to the "Range Care" section for
additional information.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the cooktop surface
and to make soils easier to remove, clean the cooktop after each
use to remove all soils.
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy
■
or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on
■
the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop and the ceramic glass could
break when the lid is removed.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
■
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while
the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool
down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting
and permanent marks.
To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across
■
the cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
■
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part
of the entire cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a
■
cutting board.
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
■
area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm)
outside the area. Minimum pan size is also noted on the
cooktop with the inner ring, if applicable.
A. ½" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang
B. Outer edge of cooktop
C. Minimum pan size, if applicable
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
■
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed,
or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.

Cookware
IMPORTANT: This range has induction cooktop elements. Pan
size, material, and positioning are very important to achieve the
best results. See "Induction Cooking" in the "Cooktop" section
before using the cooktop.
Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking.
Ferromagnetic Materials Include:

Non-Ferromagnetic Materials Include:
These types of pans will not work with induction cooking.

To find out whether your pans can be used with an induction
cooktop, flip the pan over, hold a magnet to the bottom of the pan,
and then see whether it sticks. If the magnet sticks to the bottom
of the pan, the pan is ferromagnetic and can be used for induction
cooking.
In addition, many manufacturers are now placing an "induction
A
compatible" symbol on the bottom of their cookware or they will
note compatibility on their packaging. See the following symbol.

Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the
ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and
the cookware.
To determine which pan to use on which induction element,
measure the bottom of the flat area of your pan. Do not include
the sides if they curve up. Use this measurement to help
determine which induction element would best fit your pan.
Manufacturer measurements listed on pans are usually for the
top opening dimension. The flat bottom may be smaller.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
