Selecting types of cookware.

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.

Surface Cookware Tips (glass models only)

Stainless Steel:

recommended

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 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 Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered completely with porcelain enamel, this cookware is recommended. Caution is recommended for cast iron cookware that is not completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel,

as it may scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

 

 

Surface Cookware Tips (electric coil models only)

 

 

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.

 

 

Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than

 

 

other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron

 

 

cookware are slow to absorb heat, but generally

 

1

cook evenly at low to medium heat settings.

 

Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined

Not over 1 inch.

 

 

with other metals.

 

 

 

 

For best cooking results, pans should be flat on

 

 

the bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to

 

 

the size of the surface unit. The pan should not

 

 

extend over the edge of the surface unit more

 

 

than 1 inch.
