The size and type of cookware used will infl uence the 

setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow 

the recommendations for using proper cookware as 

illustrated in Figures 1 & 2.
Cookware should have fl at bottoms that make good 

contact with the entire surface heating element (Figure 

1). Check for fl atness by rotating a ruler across the 

bottom of the cookware (Figure 2).

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly 

heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan 

bottom. The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum- Excellent heat conductor. Some types 

of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum 

cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans 

slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave 

metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove 

these marks immediately.
Copper- Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May 

leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).
Stainless steel- Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking 

results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast iron- A poor heat conductor however will retain 

heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is 

reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
Porcelain-enamel on metal- Heating characteristics 

will vary depending on 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 

glass.
