IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface 
cooking area, element or surface burner.

Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a 
well-fitting lid and the material should be of medium-to-heavy 
thickness.

Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper 
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used 
as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or 
grates.

Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is 
transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has 
the same characteristics as its base material. For example, 
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the 
properties of aluminum.

Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material 
characteristics.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and 
the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning 
products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless 
otherwise noted.
