The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop 
should  have  flat  bottoms  that  make  good  contact
with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check 
for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of
the cookware (See Fig. 1). Be sure to follow all the
recommendations for using cookware.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply
the recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the 
ceramic  surface.  Buff  with  a  non-abrasive  cloth  or
pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from 
cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a 
protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches
and abrasions.
Surface Cooking
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while 
turned ON and after they have been turned OFF.
 
The glass surface may be HOT from residual 
heat transferred from the cookware and burns 
may occur.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS
directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or 
pot holders to protect hands from burns.
DO NOT SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop 
surface. Doing so may permanently damage the
appearance of the ceramic cooktop.
Use quality cookware in good
condition
Home Canning
Also remember to:
  Use cookware made with the correct material 
type for Induction Cooking.
  Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for 
better heat distribution allowing for more even 
cooking results.
 The pan size should match the amount of food
being prepared.
•  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).
 Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup.
Always use pans that are easy to clean after 
cooking.
 Do not straddle cookware between two cooking
zones, unless that cookware is designed for this
purpose, such as a griddle.
Be sure to read and observe all the following
points when home canning with your appliance. 
Check with the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) website and be sure to read
all the information they have available as well as 
follow their recommendations for home canning 
procedures.
•  Use only quality flat bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner 
bottom (see See “Use quality cookware in good 
condition).
•  Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when 
home canning using a range with a ceramic 
glass cooktop.
•  Make sure the diameter of the canner does
not exceed 1 inch beyond the cooking zone
markings.
•  It is recommended to use smaller diameter
canners on ranges with ceramic glass or open 
coil electric cooktops.
•  Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil
more quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing
the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, 
reduce heat to lowest possible setting to 
maintain that boil.
IMPORTANT! Never place or straddle cookware 
over two different surface cooking zones heating
at the same time. This will cause uneven heating 
results and could cause the ceramic cooktop to 
fracture. The only exception is when using large 
cookware or the griddle with the bridge elements 
activated.
