Setup and First Use
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the pan.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm water and a mild dish soap. Rinse and dry completely.
- Handle Attachment: Your pan features a removable handle. To attach, align the handle mechanism with the pan's attachment point and press the red button to secure it firmly. Ensure it clicks into place and is stable before use.
- Seasoning (Optional): While not strictly necessary due to the non-stick coating, some users prefer to lightly season the pan by wiping a small amount of cooking oil over the interior surface and heating it gently for a few minutes. Let it cool and wipe off any excess oil.

Operating Instructions
Cooking on Stovetops
- Heat Source Compatibility: This pan is suitable for all types of cookers, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
- Heat Settings: Due to its excellent heat distribution, medium to low heat settings are often sufficient for most cooking tasks. High heat should only be used for boiling water or searing for short periods. Overheating can damage the non-stick coating.
- Oil/Fat Usage: A small amount of oil or fat is recommended for optimal cooking results and to protect the non-stick surface, even though the pan is highly non-stick.
- Utensils: Always use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick coating. Avoid metal utensils.

Oven Use
- The pan is oven-safe up to 250°C (480°F) without the removable handle.
- Always remove the handle before placing the pan in the oven.
- Use oven mitts when handling the hot pan from the oven.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
- Cool Down: Always allow the pan to cool completely before cleaning. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
- Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of the non-stick coating, hand wash with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge or cloth.
- Dishwasher Safe: The pan is dishwasher safe. However, frequent dishwasher use may reduce the lifespan of the non-stick coating over time.
- Stubborn Residue: For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm soapy water for a short period before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads.
Storage
- If stacking pans, place a soft cloth or pan protector between them to prevent scratching the non-stick surface.
- The removable handle allows for more compact storage.
