Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop
but can be removed if cleaned immediately.
Because of its low melting point, thin weight
aluminum should not
be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can appear
as scratches.The residues can
be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned
immediately. 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.
Porcelain Enamel on Steel:
not recommended
Heating empty pans can cause permanent
damage to cooktop glass. The enamel can
melt and bond to the ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
not recommended
Poor performance. Will scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Cast Iron:
not recommended-unless designed specifically
for glass cooktops
Poor conductivity and slow to absorb heat. Will
scratch the cooktop surface.
NOTE:Follow all cookware manufacturer's recommendations when using any type of cookware on
the ceramic cooktop.
Do not place wet pans
on the glass cooktop.
Do not use woks with Support
rings on the glass €ooktop.
Use fiat-bottomed woks
on the glass cooktop_
I'or Best Results
Place only dry pans on the surface
elements. Do not place lids on the surface
elements, particularly wet lids.
ii:: 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.
Some special cooking procedures require
specific cookware such as pressure
cookers, deep-fat fryers, etc. All cookware
must have flat bottoms and be the correct
size.
Avoid allowing foods to boil dry as some
cookware may stick to the cooking
surface, causing permanent damage to
the cooktop.
