Instructions

Selecting types of cookware.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.

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

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, lightweight 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, since 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.

Home Canning Tips:

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball® and Kerr® and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use round-bottom woks. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.
