HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
COOKWARE
Information about the cookware
• The bottom of the cookware must be as
thick and flat as possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel and
with aluminium or copper bottoms can
cause the colour change on the glass-
ceramic surface.
ENERGY SAVING
How to save energy
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.
• 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.
• The bottom of pans and cooking zones
must have the same dimension.
ÖKO TIMER (ECO TIMER)
To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before
the count down timer sounds. The
difference in the operation time de-
pends on the heat setting level and
the length of the cooking operation.
