Ceramic Glass Cooktop

All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove
any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from
the manufacturing process.

Clean your glass top before the first

time you use it.

A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is

recommended.

Induction Cookware

Induction cooking utilizes magnetic power which reacts with iron in the
base of cookware, instantly transforming the pot or pan into the heat
source. The heat stops when the cookware is removed. Your cookware

MUST

have a magnetic layer of steel for your induction cooktop to

operate properly. The cookware should have a flat, heavy magnetic
bottom and straight sides with a diameter of 5” (13 cm) to 12” (31 cm)
to accommodate the various sized elements. The induction cookware
should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the
bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.

All Viking cookware is induction friendly, as are
most other high-end brands of stainless
steel and enamel cookware. Most
induction cookware will be suitable for
your induction cooktop if a magnet
adheres to the bottom surface.

• Cookware that is

NOT

suitable for your

induction cooktop includes pottery, glass,
aluminum, copper, bronze, and any type of cookware with
a footed base.
