attempting to use the cooktop.

Avoiding Scratches
Use heavier gauge stainless steel cookware on your
ceramic 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.
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.
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.
