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 bot-
toms can leave discolourations on the ceramic glass surface which are
difficult or impossible to remove.

manufacturer.
Test of suitability

• ... a little water is heated on an induction cooking zone set to heat
setting 9 within a few seconds.
