HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Cookware
• The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.
Energy saving
• If possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a solid hotplate before you start it.
• Stop the solid hotplate before the end of the cooking time to use residual heat.
• For satisfactory results, the bottom of pans must have the same dimensions (or slightly
larger) as solid hotplates. Do not use smaller pans.

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.
WARNING!
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must disconnect the hob from
the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned while it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if
it is left to cool.
