Cookware

Use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth-based cookware that matches the diameter of the cooking zone. This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking times. Low heat or slow cooking is often due to incorrect cookware size.

Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enamelled cast iron will give you the best results.

Saucepans or heavy skillets with jagged edges or a rough base will scratch the glass. Always lift pans off the cooktop -- do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

Never use plastic or aluminum foil dishes on the cooktop.

Aluminum and copper-based cookware will leave metallic stains on the cooktop. To prevent these building up, clean the cooktop after every use following the instructions in ‘Care and cleaning’. If the metallic stains are allowed to burn onto the surface, they may react with the glass and may no longer be removable. They don’t, however, affect performance.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven, or another cooking zone, on the glass surface when the surface is cool.

Avoid placing anything on a hot cooking zone until it has cooled completely.
