W O L F ELECTRIC COOKTOP U S E & C A R E

COOKWARE S E L E C T I O N

Cooktops with a ceramic glass surface do not require special pots and pans; however, cookware will affect overall cooking efficiency. For best results, we recommend medium- to heavy-gauge metal cookware with flat, thick and smooth bottoms and a good-fitting lid. Use the following guidelines when selecting cookware:

Select cookware with a diameter that matches the cooking zone. When a pan is placed on the heating element, it should not extend beyond the ring around the cooking zone. Cookware for the bridge-zone element should match the cooking zone size as closely as possible. Refer to the Cookware Selection Guide.

COOKWARE S E L E C T I O N G U I D E

Choose cookware that corresponds to the following element diameters and dimensions (bridge-zone element):

E L E M E N T	P OW E R O U T P U T	D I A M E T E R
Triple-Zone Element	1050 W (inner)	6" (152)
36" (914) cooktops	2200 W (middle)	8" (203)
	2700 W (outer)	12" (305)
Triple-Zone Element*	900 W (inner)	5" (127)
30" (762) and 15" (381)	1800 W (middle)	7" (178)
cooktops	2500 W (outer)	10" (254)
Dual-Zone Element	700 W (inner)	5" (127)
36" (914) cooktops	2200 W (outer)	9" (229)
(2) Single-Zone Elements	1800 W (each)	8" (203)
30" (762) and 36" (914)

Look for pans that are made of materials with good heat conductivity, such as aluminum and copper. These metals are sometimes found ”sandwiched” between the inner and outer layers of the pan. If present, whether visible from the outside or not, they aid in evenly conducting heat.

Cast iron and especially glass cookware will be slower to heat. Glass cookware should only be used as recommended by the cookware manufacturer.

Cover pans while cooking; covers improve cooking efficiency. Water boils faster, using less energy, and the kitchen stays cooler.

Select high-sided (deep) pans rather than ones with very wide bases and low sides. High sides will minimize liquids boiling over the pan.

Avoid pots and pans with uneven or rounded bottom surfaces. Some specialty cookware such as woks, pressure cookers, canning modules and deep fat fryers must be carefully selected to meet the guidelines above.
