3. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all cookware pieces and packaging materials from the box. Inspect each item for any signs of damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all pots, pans, and lids with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth. This removes any manufacturing residues.
3. Placement: Ensure your gas stove surface is clean and stable before placing the cookware.

4. Operating Instructions

General Cooking:

• Place the cookware centrally on the gas burner.
• Adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the base of the pot or pan to prevent scorching of the sides and handles.
• Use appropriate heat settings for your cooking needs. While the cookware is durable, excessive heat can lead to discoloration over time.
• Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot cookware, especially the handles, as they can become hot during prolonged cooking.

Using the Lid Parking Feature:

The innovative design allows you to rest the lid securely on the pot's handle during cooking, keeping your countertop clean and the lid easily accessible.

Draining Function:

Some pieces in the set feature a convenient draining function. Align the lid's draining holes with the pot's pouring spout, and tilt to safely drain liquids while retaining solid contents.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning:

• The Tescoma Ultima cookware set is dishwasher safe. For best results and to maintain the shine, hand washing with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge is recommended.
• Avoid using steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the surface.
• For stubborn food residues, soak the pot or pan in warm soapy water before cleaning.
• Always dry the cookware thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its appearance.

Storage:

Store cookware in a dry place. To prevent scratches when stacking, place a soft cloth or paper towel between pieces.

6. Troubleshooting

• Discoloration: High heat can sometimes cause slight discoloration on stainless steel. This is normal and does not affect performance. To minimize, avoid using excessively high heat settings.
• Food Sticking: Ensure adequate oil or fat is used when cooking. Preheat the pan properly before adding food.
• Handles Getting Hot: While designed to minimize heat transfer, handles can still become hot during prolonged cooking, especially on gas stoves. Always use oven mitts or pot holders.
