NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware
on the ceramic cooktop.

glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
Recommended.

LIFOHDQHGLPPHGLDWHO\%HFDXVHRILWVORZPHOWLQJSRLQW
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 on Cast Iron:
Recommended if bottom of pan is coated.
Porcelain Enamel on
Steel:
Not recommended.
Heating empty pans can cause
permanent damage to cooktop
glass. The enamel can melt and
bond to the ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
Not recommended.
Poor performance. Will scratch
the surface.
Stoneware:
Not recommended.
Poor performance. May scratch
the surface.
Cast Iron:
Not recommended—unless
designed specifically for glass
cooktops.
Poor conductivity and slow to
absorb heat. Will scratch the
cooktop surface.
Check pans for flat bottoms
by using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms
are not recommended.

Ŷ 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.
Ŷ 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.
Ŷ Avoid allowing foods to boil dry as some cookware
may stick to the cooking surface, causing permanent
damage to the cooktop.
