Setup and Initial Use
Before using your AirBake cookie sheets for the first time, follow these steps:

Operating Instructions
The AirBake cookie sheets are designed for optimal baking performance. The dual-layer insulated design and Micro-Dome technology work together to ensure even heat distribution and prevent burning.
- Oven Temperature: These cookie sheets are oven safe up to 400°F (204°C).
- Baking Time: Due to Micro-Dome technology, bake times may decrease by up to 15% compared to traditional bakeware. Monitor your baked goods closely and adjust cooking times as needed.
- Utensils: To preserve the nonstick coating and prevent scratches, use plastic, silicone, or wooden utensils. Avoid metal utensils.
- Versatility: Suitable for baking a variety of items including cookies, scones, biscotti, and more.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your AirBake cookie sheets.
- Cleaning: The AirBake cookie sheets are dishwasher safe. However, do not use dishwasher detergent tabs, as their concentrated cleaning agents can damage the bakeware's finish. Hand washing is recommended for best results and to prolong the nonstick coating.
- Soaking: Do not soak the bakeware. AirBake is designed to breathe and is not watertight. If water enters the insulated layer, there is a risk of burning from steam release during subsequent heating.
- Drying Internal Water: If water does get inside the two sheets, place the pan upside down in a 250-degree oven for 30 minutes or until all water is removed.
- Appearance: Slight surface marks or abrasions are normal and will not affect the nonstick coating's performance. With use, the nonstick surface may become slightly darker; this will not impair its performance.

Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Food burning on bottom | Oven temperature too high or bake time too long for insulated bakeware. | Reduce oven temperature or decrease bake time by up to 15%. Monitor closely. |
| Food sticking to surface | Improper initial conditioning or damaged nonstick coating. | Ensure proper conditioning before first use. Use only plastic, silicone, or wooden utensils to prevent scratches. |
| Water trapped between layers | Pan was soaked or submerged in water. | Place the pan upside down in a 250°F (121°C) oven for 30 minutes or until water is completely evaporated. |
