Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the fry pan from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm water and a mild dish soap. Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth. This removes any manufacturing residues.
- No Seasoning Required: Due to the advanced non-stick coating, your Woll fry pan does not require seasoning before its first use.

Operating Instructions
Follow these guidelines for optimal cooking performance:
- Heat Settings: Use medium heat for most cooking tasks. The pan's efficient heat distribution means high heat is rarely necessary and can potentially damage the non-stick coating over time.
- Oil/Fat Usage: While the pan is non-stick, a small amount of cooking oil or fat is recommended for flavor and to enhance browning. Avoid using cooking sprays, as they can leave a residue that may affect non-stick performance.
- Utensils: The Diamond Plus/Diamond Lite coating is metal utensil safe. However, for prolonged life of the non-stick surface, silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils are recommended.
- Oven Use: The pan is oven safe up to 500°F (260°C). Ensure the handle is securely attached if it is a removable type.
- Compatible Cooktops: This pan is suitable for electric coil and gas cooktops.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your fry pan:
- Cleaning: The pan is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended for best results and to preserve the non-stick coating over time. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Cool Down Before Cleaning: Always allow the pan to cool completely before washing to prevent warping due to thermal shock.
- Storage: Store the pan carefully to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. If stacking, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pans.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Food Sticking: Ensure the pan is clean and free of residue from previous cooking or cooking sprays. Use appropriate heat settings (medium heat is usually sufficient). A small amount of oil or fat can improve non-stick performance.
- Discoloration: Over time, some discoloration may occur on the exterior or interior of the pan, especially with high heat use. This is generally cosmetic and does not affect the pan's cooking performance or safety.
- Warping: While Woll pans are designed to resist warping due to their thick construction, extreme temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot pan under cold water) can cause damage. Always allow the pan to cool naturally.
