Selecting types of cookware.
GEAppliances.com
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.
