Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended. Pan Detection/Sizing may not work properly with these types of pans.

Aluminum: PAN

heavyweight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residue sometimes appears 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:

recommended

Copper Bottoms: PAN

usable, but not recommended

Pans with copper bottoms may leave residue appearing as scratches. Remove any residue immediately after use. Do not let a pot boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to the glass cooktop and leave a permanent stain if it is not removed immediately.

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/Stoneware: xPAN

not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

NOTE: Use pans that match the diameter

of the surface element. Cooking performance will not be as good if the cookware is either smaller or larger than the surface element.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting

Do not use woks with support rings on the glass cooktop.

Use flat-bottomed woks on the glass cooktop.

For Best Results

■Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet lids.

■Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok will not heat on glass surface elements.

■Use only a flat-bottomed wok, available from many popular cookware manufacturers. The bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as the surface element to insure proper contact.

■Some special cooking procedures require specific cookware such as pressure cookers, deep-fat fryers, etc. All cookware must have flat bottoms that match the size of the surface elements.
