Selecting types of cookware.

Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on
the cooktop, but can be removed if
cleaned immediately. Because of its
low melting point, thin weight aluminum
should not be used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can
appear as scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned
immediately. However, do not let these
pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond
to glass cooktops. An overheated copper
bottom pot will leave a residue that will
permanently stain the cooktop if not
removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel Covered
Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this
cookware is recommended. Caution is
recommended for cast iron cookware
that is not completely covered with
smooth porcelain enamel, as it may
scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.
NOTE: The Lodge
®
cast iron griddle
provided with the range is specifically
designed for use with the radiant cooktop.
Do not use any other griddles on
the radiant cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch
the surface.
Stoneware:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch
the surface.
Check pans for flat bottoms by using
a straight edge.
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or
warped bottoms are not recommended.
