16

Selecting cookware

Following these tips will allow you to make the most of your ceramic cooktop.

The cooking surface

The ceramic cooktop is made of an extremely hard and durable material.

The surface is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Avoid using cookware with ridged bottoms. Ridged pots with dirty or chipped enamel bottoms may scratch the cooktop if they are pulled across the ceramic surface.

Make sure the cooktop and pot bottoms are clean before cooking. Certain items, particularly sugar grains or crystallized liquids such as molasses or syrups are harder than ceramic and can scratch the surface if they are not cleaned off immediately. Small or light scratches will not affect the safety or performance of the cooktop.

The burner rings and touch controls are fused into the ceramic glass and are resistant to wear if properly maintained.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, as they may eventually wear off the rings.

Pots and pans

Special cookware is not required, but as is true with all types of cooking appliances, the better the cookware, the better the performance.

– For the most even and energy efficient cooking, the diameter of the pots/pans should match the diameter of the burners as closely as possible.

– Use cookware with thick, flat, smooth bottoms. Slightly concave bottoms will also work adequately. Pans with convex bottoms will not cook well.

– Using a lid while cooking will minimize the loss of heat and decrease the cooking time.

17

Selecting cookware

Copper bottom and aluminum pans may leave a residue on the cooktop in the form of metallic lines. This is normal.

These lines can be removed using a non-abrasive ceramic cooktop cleaner or a shielded scraper blade.

Be sure to clean the cooktop after each use. Each time this residue is allowed to melt it becomes harder to remove and may mar the appearance of the cooktop.

Let the cooktop cool before cleaning.

Cast iron, glass or stoneware should not be used because they have poor heat transfer and may scratch the cooktop surface.

18

Setting the timer

The timer can be set with the cooktop either turned on or off. It can be set from 1 to 99 minutes.

^ Touch the m timer control to turn the timer on.

The display shows 00.

^ Press and hold the - or + sensor until the desired time is displayed, e.g. 15 minutes.
