Choosing the proper cookware
What your cookware is made of determines how evenly and quickly heat is
transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom.
•
ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause the
aluminum to darken. (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting.).
If aluminum pans are slid across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal
marks that resemble scratches. Remove these marks as soon as the cooktop
cools down.
•
COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal
marks on ceramic glass (see above).
•
STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is
durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
•
CAST IRON - A poor conductor; retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once
cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
•
ENAMELWARE - Heating characteristics will vary depending on the base
material. Porcelain enamel coating must be smooth to avoid scratching
ceramic cooktops.
•
GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces
because it may scratch the cooktop surface.
Protecting the cooktop
Cleaning
•
Clean the cooktop before using it for the first time.
•
Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop
looking good and can prevent damage.
•
If a spillover occurs while you are cooking, immediately clean the spill from
the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using
extreme care, wipe the spill with a clean dry towel.

•
Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a
long period of time.
Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the
•
cooktop.
•
Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia, or other cleansers not specifically
recommended for use on a glass-ceramic surface.
Preventing marks and scratches
•
Do not use glass cookware. It may scratch the cooktop.
•
Do not place a trivet or wok ring between the cooktop and the pan.
These items can mark or scratch the cooktop.
•
Make sure the cooktop and the pan bottom are clean.
•
Do not slide metal pans across the cooktop.
Preventing stains
•
Do not use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface.
A film will remain, which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the
area is heated.
•
Continuously cooking on a soiled surface can result in a permanent stain.
Preventing other damage
Do not allow plastic, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the
•
hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately.
•
Do not let a pan boil dry as this will damage the cooktop and the pan.
•
Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.
•
Do not cook food directly on the cooktop. Always use the proper cookware.
