Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep 
it free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more 
information, see “General Cleaning” section.
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a 
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the 
cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the 
cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped 
between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could 
break when the lid is removed.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and 
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down 
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills 
while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to 
cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause 
pitting and permanent marks.
To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware 
across the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough 
finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or 
marks on the cooktop.
Do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or 
aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a 
cutting board.
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking 
area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) 
outside the area.
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and 
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or 
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor 
cooking results.
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler 
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, 
no space or light should be visible between it and the 
cookware.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry 
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits 
when heated.
Home Canning
IMPORTANT: Aluminum canners or canners that are not 
completely flat on the bottom will not activate the cooking 
surface area. See “Cookware” section.
When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface 
cooking areas between batches. This allows time for the most 
recently used areas to cool.
Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area. 
Canners should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond 
the surface cooking area.
Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas at the same 
time.
For more information, contact your local agricultural 
department. Companies that manufacture home canning 
products can also offer assistance.
Cookware
Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking.
Ferromagnetic materials include:
Enameled steel
Cast iron
Stainless steel designed for induction cooking
Non-ferromagnetic materials include:
These types of pans will not work with induction cooking.
Stainless steel
Glass
Ceramic
Copper or aluminum pans
To find out whether your pans can be used with an induction 
cooktop, flip the pan over, hold a magnet to the bottom of the 
pan, and see whether it sticks.
The number on the surface cooking area heat setting display will 
flash if no pan is placed on the surface cooking area, or the pan is 
not made of the right material, or it is not the right size. It will stop 
flashing once a suitable pan is placed on the surface cooking 
area. If you take longer than 90 seconds to place the correct pan 
on the surface cooking area, the surface cooking area will turn 
off.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides and a 
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy 
thickness.
Choose the correct pan size for each surface cooking area. The 
diameter of the pan’s base should correspond to the size of the 
surface cooking area.
NOTE: Cookware manufacturers often give the diameter across 
the top of the pan. This is usually larger than the diameter of the 
base.
Pans with rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.
