COOKWARE SELECTION

Pots and pans
Special cookware is not required, but as is true with all types of cooking appliances, the better the cookware,
the better the performance.
Following these tips will allow you to make the most of your ceramic cooktop.

For the most even and energy- efficient cooking, the diameter of the pots should match the diameter of

the burners as closely as possible.
Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms will also work adequately.

Pans with convex bottoms will not cook well.

Using a lid while cooking will minimize the loss of heat and decrease the cooking time.
Copper-bottom and aluminum pans may leave a residue on the cooktop in the form of metallic lines.
This is normal. These lines can be removed using a non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner or a shielded

scraper blade.
Cast iron, glass or stoneware should not be used because they have poor heat transfer and may scratch
the surface.
CAUTION: Be sure to clean the cooktop after each use. Each time the residue is allowed to melt it becomes
harder to remove and may mar the appearance of the cooktop. Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.
