Using the Cooktop
Using the Proper Cookware
WARNING
• Cookware with rough bottoms can permanently damage the coated surfaces.
• To avoid burns and scalding, turn handles away from the the front of the range and
adjacent burners. Always center cookware on the grates for best balance.
• Always lift to reposition cookware. Do not drop cookware on a grate.
To avoid burns or fire, keep the flame beneath the cookware.
•
• Verify that glass cookware is designed for cooktop use.
• Never leave plastic items on the cooktop or in front of the range. Flames or hot air
in these areas can melt/ignite/explode such items.
• Hold a wok or small pot by its handle while cooking.
For overall safety and best performance, select cookware suitable for the task so food
cooks evenly and efficiently.
Use cookware that:
• has flat, smooth bottoms
• has tight-fitting lids to keep heat, odors and steam in
• well-balanced with the handle weighing less than the main portion of the pot or
pan.

Material Characteristics
• Aluminum: Excellent heat conductor. Some food may darken the aluminum.
(Anodized aluminum resists staining and pitting.)

• Stainless steel: Slow heat conductor; cooks unevenly; durable, easy to clean, resists
staining.
• Cast Iron: Poor conductor; retains heat very well.
• Enamelware: Heating traits depend on base material.
• Glass: Slow heat conductor; must be designed for cooktop or oven use.
