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

• 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.
