6.1 Cookware
• The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as
possible.

steel and with aluminium or
copper bottoms can cause the
colour to change on the glass-

• If it is possible, always put the
lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking
zone before you start it.
• Deactivate the cooking zones
before the end of the cooking
time to use residual heat.

ing zones must have the same
dimension.
