Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Installation Instructions Selecting types of cookware. 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: 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 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, since it may scratch the glass ceramic cooktop. Glass-Ceramic: usable, but not recommended Poor performance. May scratch the surface. Copper Bottoms: 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. Stoneware: usable, but not recommended Poor performance. May scratch the surface. 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. Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended. Do not place wet pans on the glass cooktop. Do not use woks with support rings on the glass cooktop. For Best Results s Place only dry pans on the surface elements. Do not place lids on the surface elements, particularly wet lids. s Do not use woks that have support rings. This type of wok will not heat on glass surface elements. s We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store. The bottom of the wok should have the same diameter as the surface element to ensure proper contact. s Some special cooking procedures require specific cookware such as pressure cookers, deep-fat fryers, etc. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the correct size. Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Use flat-bottomed woks on the glass cooktop. 8
