Cookware Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking. Ferromagnetic materials include: ■■ Enameled steel ■■ Cast iron ■■ Stainless steel designed for induction cooking The number on the surface cooking area heat setting display will flash if no pan is placed on the surface cooking area, the pan is not made of the correct material, or it is not the correct size. It will stop flashing once a suitable pan is placed on the surface cooking area or when the surface cooking area is turned off. Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. Non-ferromagnetic materials include: These types of pans will not work with induction cooking: ■■ Stainless steel ■■ Glass ■■ Ceramic ■■ Copper or aluminum pans To find out whether your pans can be used with an induction cooktop, flip the pan over, hold a magnet to the bottom of the pan, and see whether it sticks. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, the pan is ferromagnetic and can be used for induction cooking. Choose the correct pan size for each surface cooking area. The diameter of the pan's base should correspond to the size of the flexible cooking area or the bridge cooking area. See the "Flexible Size Cooking Area" section or the "Bridge" section for more information. NOTE: Cookware manufacturers often give the diameter across the top of the pan. This is usually larger than the diameter of the base. Pans with rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. COOKTOP CARE General Cleaning IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. 2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of Cooktop Cleaner to the affected areas. Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted. CERAMIC GLASS Cleaning Method: To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia. 1. Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper. ■■ Rub Cooktop Cleaner onto the cooktop surface with the blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is needed to remove stubborn stains. ■■ Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding to Step 3. 3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel. ■■ For best results, use the Cooktop Scraper while the cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping the warm cooktop. ■■ Hold the Cooktop Scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the residue. Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding to Step 2. ■■ Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn or burned-on stains. The Complete Cooktop Cleaner Kit is available for order and includes the following: ■■ Cooktop Scraper ■■ Cooktop Cleaner ■■ Blue Cooktop Cleaning Pads See the "Accessories" section for part numbers and information on ordering. 9
