Safety Information
Selecting types of cookware
for radiant glass cooktop models.
The following information will help you choose cookware which
will give good performance on glass cooktops.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes
appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be removed
if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point,
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 Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered completely with
porcelain enamel, this cookware is recommended.
Caution is recommended for cast iron cookware that is
not completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel,
as it may scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Check pans for flat bottoms by
using a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged
or warped bottoms are not
recommended.
