How to Check Pan Performance
Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking
performance and cleaning of your cooktop.
The correct cookware reduces the temperature of
the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of
burning onto the cooktop.
You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.
Some pans may have curved or rounded bottoms or

flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles
over the bottom surface area of the pan. Bubbles
localized in only a portion of the bottom indicate
uneven contact of the pan to the surface unit, uneven
heat transfer or an unsuitable pan.
Use pans that match the diameter of the surface
unit. Cooking performance will not be as good if the
cookware is either smaller or larger than the surface unit.
●
Place only dry pans on the

surface units. Do not place
lids on the surface units,
particularly wet lids.
. We recommend that you use
only a flat-bottomed wok.
They are available at your
local retail store. The-bottom of the wok should
have the same
diameter as the surface unit to insure
proper contact.
. Do not use woks that have
support rings. This type of
wok will not heat on glass
cooktops.
●
Some special cooking procedures require specific
cookware such as pressure cookers, deep fat fryers,
etc. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the
correct size.
