HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE

WITH YOUR OLD ONE?

Your new cooktop has a radiant glass ceramic cooktop.

If you are used to cooking with gas burners or electric

surface units, you will notice some differences when

you use the radiant cooktop.

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and

cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or

surface unit you have.

The following chart will help you to understand the

differences between radiant cooktops and any other

type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

Type of Cooktop Description How It Works

if you want cooking to stop.

Electric Coil Flattened metal Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For

electric resistance warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not

Induction High frequency Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is

induction coils produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away

under a glass and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control

Solid Disk Solid cast iron Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good

from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

Gas Burners Regular or sealed Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but

gas burners use pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change
