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.
• 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
• 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.
