It is recommended to always use heavier gauge 

stainless steel cookware on your ceramic 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.

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.

•  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.

•  Switch off the cooking zones before the end of 

the cooking time to use the residual heat for 

keeping food warm or for melting purpose.

•  The base of the pot should have the same size as 

the cooking zone.

•  Using a pressure cooker shortens the cooking 

times by up to 50%.
