the cookware should not show any sign of curvature.
Due to incorrect temperature monitoring of the hob
caused by the air gap between the cookware and the
temperature sensor underneath the hob, overheating
may arise. The bottom of the cookware must not have
any sharp grooves or sharp edges to avoid scratching
the cooktop.
