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.

Clean the appliance after each use.
Always use cookware with clean bottom.
WARNING!
The sharp objects and abrasive cleaning agents can cause damage to the appliance.
For your safety, do not clean the appliance with steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaners.

ates.
