Information on acrylamides
Important! According to the newest
scientific knowledge, if you brown food
(specially the one which contains starch),
acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus,
we recommend that you cook at the
lowest temperatures and do not brown
food too much.
• When you wash the pan supports by
hand, take care when you dry them as
the enamelling process occasionally
leaves rough edges. If necessary, re-
move stubborn stains using a paste
cleaner.
• Make sure you position the pan sup-
ports correctly after cleaning.
• To make the burners work correctly,
make sure that the arms of the pan
supports are in the centre of the burner.
• Be very careful when you replace
the pan supports to prevent the hob
top from damage.
After cleaning, dry the appliance with a
soft cloth.
The stainless steel can become tarnished
if it is too much heated. Refer to this you

ware pans or cast iron plates. Do not use
