• To prevent overheating and improve the
performance of the zones, the cookware
must be as thick and flat as possible.
• Ensure cookware bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
• Always be careful no to slide or rub the
cookware on the edges and corners of the
glass as it may chip or damage the glass
surface.
Cookware made of enamelled steel and
with aluminium or copper bottoms can
cause a colour change on the glass-
ceramic surface.
