Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support ge.com The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops. Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge. Stainless Steel: recommended Aluminum: heavy weight 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, thin weight 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, as 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. Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended. Home Canning Tips Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit. Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom. To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning. Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball® and Kerr® and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service. Flat-bottomed canners are recommended. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil. Wok Cooking We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. Do not use woks that have support rings. Do not use round-bottom woks. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over. 7 Use only flat-bottomed woks.
