a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridgedor warpedbottomsare
not recommended.
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cool<top, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin weight Numinum shoukt not
be used.
CopperBottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can
be removed, as long as the cool<top is
cleaned immediately. Howevet; do not let
these pots boil dry. Overheamd metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated
copper bottom pot will leave a residue
that will permanen@ stain the cool<top
if not remcwed immediamly.
Porcelain Enamel on Steel:
not recommended
Headng empty pans can cause
permanent damage to cool<top glass.
The enamel can melt and bond to the
ceramic cool<top.

suIf_lce.
Stoneware:
not recommended

suIf_lce.
Cast iron:
not recommended--unless designedspecifically
for glass cooktops

For Best Results
i> Place only dry pans on the surfitce
elements. Do not place lids on the
surf_tce elements, particularly wet
lids.
{{{}{
Do not use woks that have support
rings. This type of wok will not heat
on glass surf_ce 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 surf_ce element
to ensure proper contact.
Some special cooking procedures
require specific cool<ware such as
pressme cookers, deep-fi_t flyers, etc.
All cool<ware must have fiat bottoms
and be the correct size.
