Stainless Steel: Highly recommended
for use with your new cooktop.
Especially good with a clad bottom
Aluminum: Heavyweight aluminum
cookware recommended.
Cast Iron: Cast-iron cookware that
is completely covered with porcelain
enamel is recommended. Cast iron
that is not covered with porcelain
enamel may scratch the glass-ceramic
surface of the cooktop 1.
Copper Bottom: Has good
performance, but it can leave a residue
on the cooktop surface if allowed to
boil dry.
Glass-Ceramic or Stoneware: Usable.
Check for rough edges or burrs, which 2.
may scratch the cooktop surface.
When the knobs are turned on,
coils beneath the glass radiate heat
through the glass to the cooking
utensil It will take a few moments for
the coils to heat; as they do, a red
glow can be seen below the surface
of the cooktop (on all zones except
the warmer zone).
Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot
The temperature limiter may cycle the
units off for a time if:
o The pan boils dry.
• The pan bottom is not flat,
o The pan is off center
o There is no pan on the unit
