Cooking with Smoothtop Elements

Cooking with Smoothtop Elements WARNING

To avoid risk of serious personal injury never cook on a broken smoothtop cooking surface. Spillovers or cleaners can penetrate surface and create a risk of electrical shock. If smoothtop cooking surface breaks, discontinue use and notify an authorized servicer immediately.

Before cooking on smoothtop, wipe top with cleaner conditioner. Conditioning smoothtop before use makes marks and stains easier to remove.

Use heavy-gauge metal cookware not including cast iron.

Bottom of cookware must be flat. Cookware that is warped or slightly curved on the bottom heats slowly and may not boil water. Cookware with an aluminum disk bottom makes excellent contact with cooking surface. See Utensils section for more information.

Smoothtop cooking surface is not “scratch proof”. Surface is highly scratch and impact resistant. With recommended cooking utensils and proper care, it will continue looking good through years of use.

Do not use glass, glass-ceramic, or enamel-porcelain cookware. Small imperfections on bottom of such cookware can scratch smoothtop surface.
