• Do not use cookware that extends more than 1 inch beyond the edge of the cooking
area.
• Do not use asmall cookpot on a large element. Not only can this cause the element
to require more energy and time, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the
element which cause extra effort in cleaning.
• Do not use nonflat speciafty items that are oversized, uneven or do not meet proper
cookware specifications such as round bottom woks with rings, rippled bottom
canners, and oversized or non-flat bottom lobster pots, large pressure canners and
griddles, etc,
• Test cast ironware since all are not flat. Also be cautioned against possible "impact
damage" should the heavy cookpot be dropped on the glass-ceramic surface,
Acceptable canning pots should not be oversized and must have a flat bottom. When
canners do not meet these standards, the use of the Hi setting becomes excessive and
may result in damage to the cooktop. In addition, water may not come to a boil and
canners may not reach 10 Ibs. of pressure.
The acceptable canning procedure uses the Hi setting just long enough to bring the water
to a boil, then lower the setting to maintain the water temperature.
Heavy gauge cookpots with flat, smooth bottoms will usually work in a similar way.
However, there are some differences in the cooking performance of various materials.
• Aluminum cbokpots heat quickly and evenly. Best suited for simmering, braising,
boiling and frying.
Note; Aluminum cookpots will cause metal marks on the glass-ceramic surface if
you slide them across the cooktop. Remove metal marks immediately.
• Stainless steel cookpots will evenly distribute heat if constructed of tri-ply or
combined with other metals such as aluminum and copper. Use for cooking
functions similar to aluminum,
• Cast iron cookpots are slow to heat but cook more evenly once temperature is
reached. Use for long term low heat cooking or for browning and frying.
• Porcelain enamel-on-steelorporcelain enamel-on-cast iron should be used accord-
ing to manufacturer's directions, Do not allow to boil dry.
• Glass-ceramic, earthenware, heatproofglass orgtazed cookpots may scratch the
glass-ceramic cooktop and therefore are not recommended.
Note Halogen element: Aluminum cookpots may cause the element to cycle even when
the control setting is Hi.
