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

and with aluminium or copper bot-
toms can cause the colour change on
the glass-ceramic surface.

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
