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.  
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.  
Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth  
bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms  
will also work adequately. Pans with  
convex bottoms will not cook well.  
Using a lid while cooking will  
minimize the loss of heat and  
decrease the cooking time.  
18  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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.
