The Recommended Surface Cooking

Setting

Using the Proper Cookware

The size and type of cookware will influence the

settings needed for the best cooking results. Be

sure to follow the recommendations for using

proper cookware.

NOTE

• Match the size of the cookware to the amount of

food being cooked to save energy when heating.

Heating 1/2 quart of water requires more energy

in a 3-quart pot than in a 1-quart pot.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make

good contact with the entire surface heating

element. Check for flatness by placing a ruler

across the bottom of the cookware. The ruler

should touch the cookware across the entire

bottom, with no gaps.

Cookware Recommendations

• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Heavy-gauge pans
• Pan sizes that match the amount of food to be

prepared and the size of the surface element

• Weight of handle does not tilt pan. Pan is well

balanced

• Tight-fitting lids
• Flat bottom woks

Cookware should not

NOTE

• Do not use pans less than 7 inches in diameter

on the front elements.

• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may

melt onto the glass. Do not use the cooktop if

metal has melted on it. Call an authorized LG

Service Center.
