Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the fry pan from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth.
3. Light Seasoning (Optional): Although the nonstick surface is ready for use, some users prefer to lightly season the pan. Apply a small amount of cooking oil to the interior surface with a paper towel, then heat the pan over low heat for 1-2 minutes. Let it cool, then wipe off any excess oil.

Operating Instructions

Heat Management

• Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the nonstick coating over time and is generally not necessary due to the pan's efficient heat distribution.
• Never preheat an empty pan on high heat.
• The pan is compatible with electric coil, gas, and smooth surface non-induction stovetops.

Cooking with Oil/Fat

• While the nonstick surface allows for cooking with little to no oil, a small amount of cooking oil or butter can enhance flavor and browning.
• Avoid using aerosol cooking sprays, as they can leave a residue that may build up and affect the nonstick performance.

Utensils

• The Scanpan Classic series is designed to be metal utensil safe. However, for prolonged life of the nonstick surface, silicone, wood, or plastic utensils are recommended.

Oven Use

• This fry pan is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C), allowing for seamless transitions from stovetop to oven.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

• After Each Use: Allow the pan to cool completely before cleaning. Sudden temperature changes can cause warping.
• Hand Washing: Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm water before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Dishwasher Use: The pan is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is often preferred to maintain the pan's appearance and prolong the life of the nonstick coating.

Storage

• When stacking pans, place a soft cloth or pan protector between them to prevent scratching the nonstick surface.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure you are using appropriate heat settings (low to medium). High heat can degrade the nonstick surface over time. Clean the pan thoroughly to remove any accumulated residue that might be affecting nonstick performance.
• Discoloration: Minor discoloration can occur over time, especially with high-heat cooking or certain foods. This typically does not affect the pan's performance.
• Warping: To prevent warping, always allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Avoid plunging a hot pan into cold water.
