The following information will help you choose
cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavyweight 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-Covered Cookware:
not recommended
Some porcelain-covered cookware can bond to
the hot cooking surface.
Glass-Ceramic/Stoneware:
not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Use pans that match the diameter of the
surface unit. Cooking performance will not
be as good if the cookware is either smaller
or larger than the surface unit.
• Place only dry pans on the surface units.
Do not place lids on the surface units,
particularly wet lids.
• Do not use woks that have support rings.
This type of wok will not heat on glass
surface units.
• Use only a flat-bottomed wok available from
many popular cookware manufacturers.
Do not place wet pans on the
glass cooktop.
