Recomended
Heavy weight recommended.
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches if cleaned
cooktop bt can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.
Recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktops is
cleaned inmmediately. However, do not
let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal
can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a residue that
will permanently stain the cooktop if not
removed immediately.
Follow all cookware manufacturer's recommendations when using any type of
cookware on the ceramic cooktops.
Place only dry pans on the surface
elements. Do not place lids on the
surface elements, particularly wet lids.
Do not use woks that have support
rings, This type of wok will not heat on
glass surface elements.
We recommend that you use only a
flat-bottomed wok. They are available
at your local retail store. The bottom
of the wok should have the same
diameter as the surface element to
ensure proper contact.

pressure cookers, deep-fat fryers,
etc. All cookware must have flat
bottoms and be the correct size.
