Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all cookware and lids from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all pots, pans, and lids thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely. This removes any manufacturing residues.
3. Seasoning (Non-stick Frypan Only): For the non-stick frypan, it is recommended to lightly season it before first use. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the non-stick surface, heat on low for 1-2 minutes, then let it cool and wipe off excess oil.

Cooking Guidelines

• Heat Settings: Use appropriate heat settings for cooking. High heat is generally only needed for boiling liquids. Medium to low heat is sufficient for most cooking tasks and helps preserve the cookware.
• Lids: Use the glass lids to retain heat and moisture, which can help cook food more efficiently and save energy.
• Utensils: For the non-stick frypan, use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick coating. For stainless steel pots, metal utensils can be used, but exercise care to prevent scratching.
• Handles: The handles are heat-resistant, but always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot cookware, especially after prolonged cooking.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

• Dishwasher Safe: All components of the Swiss Home Zurich Cookware Set are dishwasher safe.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of your cookware, especially the non-stick frypan, hand washing is recommended. Use warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
• Stubborn Food: For stubborn food residues, soak the cookware in warm soapy water for a period before cleaning. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Drying: Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots, especially on stainless steel.

Storage

Store cookware in a dry place. When stacking, place a cloth or paper towel between pans to prevent scratching the surfaces.
