Choosing The Proper Cookware; Protecting The Smoothtop - Samsung NE59J7650 Serie Manual Del Usuario

Choosing the proper cookware

What your cookware is made of determines
how evenly and quickly heat is transferred
from the surface element to the pan bottom.
• ALUMINUM - Excellent heat conductor.
Some types of food will cause the
aluminum to darken. (Anodized aluminum
cookware resists staining & pitting.). If
aluminum pans are slid across the ceramic
cooktop, they may leave metal marks that
resemble scratches. Remove these marks
as soon as the cooktop cools down.
• COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but
discolors easily. May leave metal marks on
ceramic glass (see above).
• STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor
with uneven cooking results. Is durable,
easy to clean and resists staining.
• CAST IRON - A poor conductor; retains
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking
temperature is reached. Not recommended
for use on ceramic cooktops.
• ENAMELWARE - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on the base material.
Porcelain enamel coating must be smooth
to avoid scratching ceramic cooktops.
• GLASS - Slow heat conductor. Not
recommended for ceramic cooktop
surfaces because it may scratch the glass.

Protecting the smoothtop

Cleaning
• Clean the cooktop before using it for the
first time.
• Clean your cooktop daily or after each use.
This will keep your cooktop looking good
and can prevent damage.
• If a spillover occurs while you are cooking,
immediately clean the spill from the
cooking area while it is hot to prevent a
tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme
care, wipe the spill with a clean dry towel.
• Do not allow spills to remain on the
cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long
period of time.
• Do not use abrasive cleansing powders
or scouring pads which will scratch the
cooktop.
• Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia,
or other cleansers not specifically
recommended for use on a glass-ceramic
surface.
