Setup Guide

Before First Use

1. Remove all packaging materials, labels, and tags from the cookware.
2. Wash the pans and lids thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
3. Rinse well and dry completely with a soft cloth.
4. For optimal non-stick performance, lightly coat the non-stick surface with a small amount of cooking oil using a paper towel. Wipe off any excess.

Operating Instructions

Using Your Cookware

• Heat Source: These pans are compatible with gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen stovetops. They are also oven safe.
• Thermo-Spot Indicator: For frying pans, the unique Thermo-Spot indicator in the center of the pan will turn solid red when the pan has reached the ideal temperature for cooking, ensuring perfect searing and even cooking.
• Cooking Utensils: To protect the non-stick coating, it is recommended to use silicone, wood, or plastic utensils. Metal utensils should be used with caution to avoid scratching the surface.
• Heat Settings: Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the non-stick coating over time and is generally not necessary due to the efficient heat distribution.
• Lids: The glass lids allow you to monitor your cooking without lifting the lid, helping to retain heat and moisture.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

• Allow cookware to cool completely before washing to prevent warping.
• Wash with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
• The cookware set is dishwasher safe for added convenience. However, hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the non-stick coating.
• For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.

Storage

• When stacking pans, place a soft cloth or paper towel between them to protect the non-stick surface from scratches.
• Store lids separately or carefully on top of pans to prevent damage to the glass.
