• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start
it.
• Stop the cooking zones before the end of the cooking
time to use residual heat.

Information on acrylamides
Important! According to the newest scientific knowledge,
if you brown food (specially the one which contains
starch), acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus, we
recommend that you cook at the lowest temperatures and
do not brown food too much.
Care and cleaning
Clean the appliance after each use. Always use cookware with clean bottom.
