Hi Rocky - Thanks for your interest! While "special" cooktop is not required, flat bottom pans are essential for good cooking performance since the bottom of the pan needs to touch the glass for the best heat transfer. Stainless Steel and Aluminum are recommended. Check out the following link - RANGE - COOKWARE USED ON A RADIANT SMOOTH GLASS COOKTOP: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=16259 - Keeping your range looking new is easy if you watch this quick use and care video. From selecting the best cleaners, proper maintenance practices, to identifying the proper cookware this video will show you all you need to know about enjoying your new range.

Sometimes marks may appear on the glass ceramic that seem to be scratches, but are really just marks from a pan and are able to be removed by cleaning. The glass ceramic cooktops are scratch resistant, yet not scratch proof. Check the bottoms of the pans that you use for any rough spots or burned food pieces. Again, the bottoms of the pans should be a "smooth" flat surface. You should be pleased with your choice! Sue
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I’ve a new range too. Wait till burners are cool then clean w/ hot soapy water. Rub hard for stubborn spots. I used a magic eraser corner for one stubborn spot. The range came w/ a small bottle of cleaner, but haven’t needed it so far.
