To get the best use out of your cooktop, consider the following points when selecting
pots and pans.
●
●
It is important that the bottoms of the pots and pans are the same size as the cooking
zone or element.
●
●
A flat base makes better contact with the cooking zone or element, resulting in shorter
cooking times.
●
●
Aluminium and copper cookware can leave a metallic residue on the glass surface. Clean
this off with ceramic glass cleaner after every use. If it is left, it becomes difficult to
remove. See section ‘Care and cleaning’.
●
●
Jagged edges on saucepans or heavy frypans may scratch element coils of the ceramic
glass.
●
●
Round-based woks should NOT be used on radiant elements without a wok ring as they
will damage the element bowls.
●
●
Always lift pots and pans off ceramic glass cooktops – do not slide, or they may scratch
the cooktop surface.
