Selecting cookware

Following these tips will allow you to

make the most of your ceramic

cooktop.

Pots and pans

Special cookware is not required, but

as is true with all types of cooking

appliances, the better the cookware,

the better the performance.

The cooking surface

The ceramic cooktop is made of an

extremely hard and durable material.

The surface is scratch resistant, not

scratch proof. Avoid using cookware

with ridged bottoms. Ridged pots with

dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may

scratch the cooktop if they are pulled

across the ceramic surface.

– For the most even and energy

efficient cooking, the diameter of the

pots/pans should match the diameter

of the burners as closely as possible.

Make sure the cooktop and pot bottoms

are clean before cooking. Certain

items, particularly sugar grains or

crystallized liquids such as molasses or

syrups are harder than ceramic and

can scratch the surface if they are not

cleaned off immediately. Small or light

scratches will not affect the safety or

performance of the cooktop.

– Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth

bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms

will also work adequately. Pans with

convex bottoms will not cook well.

The burner rings and touch controls are

fused into the ceramic glass and are

resistant to wear if properly maintained.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads,

as they may eventually wear off the

rings.

– Using a lid while cooking will

minimize the loss of heat and

decrease the cooking time.

Selecting cookware

Copper bottom and aluminum pans

may leave a residue on the cooktop in

the form of metallic lines. This is normal.

These lines can be removed using a

non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner

or a shielded scraper blade.

Be sure to clean the cooktop after

each use. Each time this residue is

allowed to melt it becomes harder to

remove and may mar the

appearance of the cooktop.

Let the cooktop cool before

cleaning.

Cast iron, glass or stoneware should

not be used because they have poor

heat transfer and may scratch the

cooktop surface.

Timer

The cooktop has a timer which can be

used to:

Setting the timer

The timer can be set with the cooktop

either turned on or off. It can be set

from 1 to 99 minutes.
