16Before Using the Cooktop

USE QUALITY COOKWARE IN GOOD CONDITION

The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 1). Be sure to follow all the recommendations for using cookware as shown in Fig. 1, page 15.

Also remember to:

•Use cookware made with the correct material type for

Induction Cooking (See Fig. 1, page 14).

• Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution allowing for more even cooking results.

•The pan size should match the amount of food being

prepared.

•Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent

damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring
that can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of
damage is not covered by your warranty).	Fig. 1
• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use
pans that are easy to clean after cooking.

!CAUTION

The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The glass surface may be HOT form residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.

!CAUTION

DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect hands from burns.

!CAUTION

DO NOT SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop surface. Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of the ceramic cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
