If something of this nature should melt onto the ceramic glass surface, it must also be removed immediately using the scraper. · If you wish to use special types of pan (e. g. a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok, etc. ), please observe the manufacturer's instructions. The bases could be irreparably damaged in the process and the glass ceramic cooking surface also damaged. 37 Operating Instructions 2 Disposal Disposing of Packaging Materials · All packaging can be recycled, sheet and hard foam parts are appropriately marked.
