• The bottom of the cookware must be as
thick and flat as possible.

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.

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.
