COOKWARE Cooking performance INFORMATION is greatly affected by the type of pans used. Pans MUST HAVE FLAT BOTTOMS, especially with ceramic glass eooktops. The fiat bottom allows good conductivity between the pan and the element to provide uniform cooking results, faster heating and more efficient use of energy, Acceptable Pans with uneven, warped, or grooved bottoms do not make good contact, reduce heat conductivity and result in slower, less even heating.

Improper Cookware • Do not use oversized pans or pans that rest across two elements. These may trap enough heat to cause damage to the cooktop or elements, • Do not use specialty items on ceramic glass that are oversized, have an uneven bottom or do not meet proper pan specifications such as round bottom woks, griddles, rippled bottom canners, lobster pots, large pressure canners, etc. • Do not use a small pan on a large element to reduce energy loss. • Test cast ironware since all are not flat.
