• Place a pot filled with a little water (1/8 1/4 ) on the Cooking Zone. Set the Cooking Zone to
full power (power level 9).
CAUTION: The pan base of suitable kitchenware heats up within a
few seconds! Water should boil rapidly.
• You can also check cookware suitability with a magnet. If the magnet
remains fixed to the base of the pan, the pan is suitable for induction
cooking.
SELECTING COOKWARE (continued)
AVOIDING SCRATCHES
It is recommended to always use heavier gauge stainless steel cookware on your induction
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.
USE FLAT-BOTTOMED COOKWARE
Cookware must fully contact the surface of the cooking element. Use flat-
bottomed pans sized to fit the cooking element and amount of food being
prepared. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware.
FOR BEST RESULTS:
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.
TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY:
• 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.
