4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
4.1 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 bot-
toms can cause the colour change on
the glass-ceramic surface.
4.2 Energy saving
How to save energy
• If it is possible, always put the lids on
the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone be-
fore you start it.
• Stop the cooking zones before the
end of the cooking time to use residu-
al heat.
• The bottom of pans and cooking
zones must have the same dimension.
