For best results, we recommend medium- to heavy-gauge metal cookware with flat, thick and smooth bottoms and a good-fitting lid.

Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board. Do not slide rough-bottom cookware, such as cast iron, across the glass surface. Remove any resulting marks immediately using the razor blade scraper and cleaning cream as mentioned in Cooktop Cleaning on page 18.
