Cookware
Each cook has his or her own preference for the
particular cookware that is most appropriate for
the type of cooking being done. This a matter
of personal choice. As with any cookware,
yours should be in good condition and free
from excessive dents on the bottom to provide
maximum performance and convenience. When
using big pots, it is recommended to use the
front elements. There is more room in the front
and potential cleanup of rear of appliance due to
staining or discoloration will be minimized.
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.
