Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop
but can be removed ifcleaned 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 Cast Iron:
recommended if bottom of pan is coated
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. Willscratch the surface.
Stoneware:
not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Cast Iron:
not recommended - unless designed specifically
for glass cooktops

Donor placeWetPans
on th e glass cooktop,
Do not use woks with support
rings on the glass cooktop,
Use fiat bottomed woks
on the glass cooktop,
For Best Results
Placeonly 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
or deep-fat fryers. All cookware must have
flat bottoms and be the correct size.
