Tips on cooking and frying

Information about acrylamides

According to the latest scientific research, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing starch, may present a health risk due to acrylamide. Therefore we recommend cooking at low temperatures and not browning foods too much.

Cookware

• You can recognise good cookware from the bottoms of the pans. The bottom should be as thick and flat as possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel or with aluminium or copper bottoms can leave discolorations on the glass ceramic surface which are difficult or impossible to remove.

Energy saving

Always place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.

If possible, always place lids on the pans.

Switch cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time, to take advantage of residual heat.

Bottom of pans and cooking zones should be the same size.

Examples of cooking applications

Cleaning and care

WARNING!

Sharp objects and abrasive cleaning agents will damage the appliance. Clean the appliance and remove the residues with water and washing up liquid after each use. Remove also the remnants of the cleaning agents!

Scratches or dark stains on the glass ceramic that cannot be removed do not affect the functioning of the appliance.

Cleaning the appliance after each use

1. Food containing sugar, plastics, tin foil residues should be removed at once using a scraper. Place a scraper on the glass ceramic surface at an angle and remove residues by sliding the blade over the surface. Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid. Finally, rub the appliance dry using a clean cloth.

2. Limescale rings, water rings, fat splashes, shiny metallic discolorations should be removed after the appliance has cooled down using cleaner for glass ceramic or stainless steel.
