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.
CARE AND CLEANING
Clean the appliance after each use.
Always use cookware with clean bottom.
Scratches or dark stains on the glass-
ceramic cause no effect on how the
appliance operates.
