It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. [. . . ] 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. 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. ­ 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.
