a straight edge.
Panswith rounded,curved,ridgedor
warped bottoms are not recommended.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron:
recommended if bottom of pan is coated
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 residueswhich 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 Steek
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, lay scratch the
surface.
Cast Iron:
not recommended-unless designed
spedfically for glass cooktops

onthe glass€ooktop
For Best Results
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.
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.
