Cookware

Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking.

Ferromagnetic materials include:

■Enameled steel

■Cast iron

■Stainless steel designed for induction cooking

Non-ferromagnetic materials include:

These types of pans will not work with induction cooking.

■Stainless steel

■Glass

■Ceramic

■Copper or aluminum pans

To find out whether your pans can be used with an induction cooktop, flip the pan over, hold a magnet to the bottom of the pan, and see whether it sticks. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, the pan is ferromagnetic and can be used for induction cooking.

The number on the surface cooking area heat setting display will flash if no pan is placed on the surface cooking area, or the pan is not made of the right material, or it is not the right size. It will stop flashing once a suitable pan is placed on the surface cooking area. If you take longer than 90 seconds to place the correct pan on the surface cooking area, the surface cooking area will turn off.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness.

Choose the correct pan size for each surface cooking area. The diameter of the pan’s base should correspond to the size of the surface cooking area.

NOTE: Cookware manufacturers often give the diameter across the top of the pan. This is usually larger than the diameter of the base.

Pans with rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.

COOKTOP CARE

GeneralCleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.

CERAMIC GLASS

To avoid damage, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover or ammonia.

Cleaning Method:

Always wipe with a clean, wet cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly to avoid streaking and staining.

Cooktop Cleaner is recommended for regular use to help avoid scratches, pitting and abrasions, and to condition the cooktop. It may be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.

A Cooktop Scraper is also recommended for stubborn soils, and can be ordered as an accessory. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. The Cooktop Scraper uses razor blades. Store razor blades out of the reach of children.

Light to moderate soil

■Paper towels or clean damp sponge.

■Cooktop Cleaner and clean damp paper towel:

Clean as soon as cooktop has cooled down. Rub creme into surface with a damp paper towel or soft cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears.

Sugary spills (jellies, candy, syrup)

■Cooktop Scraper:

Clean while the cooktop is still warm. You may want to wear oven mitts while cleaning the cooktop.

Heavy soil, dark streaks, specks and discoloration

■Cooktop Cleaner or nonabrasive cleanser:

Rub product into soil with a damp paper towel or soft cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears.

Burned-on soil

■Cooktop Cleaner and Cooktop Scraper:

Rub creme into soil with damp paper towel. Hold scraper as flat as possible on surface and then scrape. Repeat for stubborn spots. Polish entire cooktop with creme and paper towel.

Tiny scratches and abrasions

■Cooktop Cleaner:

Rub creme into surface with a damp paper towel or soft cloth. Continue rubbing until white film disappears. Scratches and abrasions do not affect cooking performance and after many cleanings become less noticeable.
