� To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across
the cooktop. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes
on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on
the cooktop.
� Do not cook popcorn in prepackaged aluminum containers on
the cooktop. They could leave aluminum marks that cannot be
removed completely.
� To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part
of the entire cooktop.
� To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a
cutting board.

area. Cookware should not extend more than 1⁄2" (1.3 cm)
outside the area.
A. Surface cooking area
B. Cookware/canner
C. 1/2" (1.3 cm) maximum overhang
� Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking
results.
� Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,
no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
� Cookware designed with slightly indented bottoms or small
expansion channels can be used.
� Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
� To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not cook foods directly on
the cooktop.
