INTRODUCTION TO INDUCTION COOKING

SELECTING COOKWARE

(continued)

AVOIDING SCRATCHES

It is recommended to always use heavier gauge
stainless steel cookware on your induction
cooktop surface. This will help reduce the
possibility of developing scratches on the
ceramic surface. Low-quality cookware can
scratch the cooktop surface.

Cookware should always be lifted over the
ceramic cooktop surface to prevent scratching.
Sliding any type of cookware over the ceramic
cooktop can affect the overall appearance of the
cooktop. Over time, sliding ANY type of cookware
over the ceramic cooktop may alter the overall
appearance of the cooktop. Eventually, the
buildup of scratches can make cleaning the
surface difficult and degrade the overall
appearance of the cooktop.

Scratches can also result from grains of sand
(e.g., after washing vegetables) which are
dragged with the pot across the cooking surface.

USE FLAT-BOTTOMED COOKWARE

Cookware must fully contact the surface of the
cooking element. Use flat-bottomed pans sized to
fit the cooking element and
amount of food being
prepared. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom of the
cookware.

FOR BEST RESULTS:

Always follow the recommendations for proper
cookware type and size. In addition:

Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup.
Always use pans that are easy to clean after
cooking, and make sure that the bottoms of the
pans are clean and dry.

When cooking with large amounts of liquid, use
large pots so that nothing can boil over.

Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause
permanent damage in the form of breakage,
fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic
cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered
by your warranty.)

Match the pan size and Cooking Zone to the
amount of food being prepared.

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY:

Always position pots and pans before you
switch on the Cooking Zone.

Dirty cooking zones and cookware use
more electricity.

Whenever possible, always have the lid firmly
placed on the pots and pans so that they are
completely covered.
