Cleaning off the induction cooktop before and after each use
will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even
heating. For more information, see “General Cleaning” section.
■
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack
the cooktop.
■
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on
the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass
could break when the lid is removed.
■
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills
and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool
down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the
spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are
allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop
and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
■
To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware
across the cooktop.
■
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any
part of the entire cooktop.
■
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop
as a cutting board.
■
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm)
outside the area.
A. Surface cooking area
B. Cookware/canner
C. ½" (1.3 cm) Maximum overhang
■
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed
or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
■
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the
ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
■
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
Cookware
Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking.
Ferromagnetic materials include:
■
Enameled steel
■
Cast iron
■
Stainless steel designed for induction cooking
Non-ferromagnetic materials include:
These types of pans will not work with induction cooking.
■
Stainless steel
■
Glass
■
Ceramic
■
Copper or aluminum pans
To find out whether your pans can be used with an induction
cooktop, flip the pan over, hold a magnet to the bottom of
the pan, and see whether it sticks. If the magnet sticks to the
bottom of the pan, the pan is ferromagnetic and can be used
for induction cooking.
The number on the surface cooking area heat setting display
will flash if no pan is placed on the surface cooking area, or the
pan is not made of the right material, or it is not the right size.
It will stop flashing once a suitable pan is placed on the surface
cooking area. If you take longer than 90 seconds to place the
correct pan on the surface cooking area, the surface cooking
area will turn off.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides
and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of
medium-to-heavy thickness.
Choose the correct pan size for each surface cooking area.
The diameter of the pan’s base should correspond to the size
of the surface cooking area.
NOTE: Cookware manufacturers often give the diameter
across the top of the pan. This is usually larger than the
diameter of the base.
Pans with rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.
