Setup and First Use
- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the fry pans.
- Wash: Before first use, wash the pans thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth.
- Condition (Optional): For optimal nonstick performance, lightly condition the interior surface by rubbing a small amount of cooking oil over it with a paper towel. Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then let it cool and wipe off any excess oil.
Operating Instructions
Cooking
- Heat Settings: The HA1 Nonstick pans are designed for efficient heat distribution. Use low to medium heat for most cooking tasks. High heat should only be used for browning or searing for short periods. Overheating can damage the nonstick coating.
- Oil/Butter: While the pans are nonstick, a small amount of cooking oil or butter is recommended for flavor and to enhance cooking performance.
- Utensils: To preserve the nonstick coating, use only nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils. Avoid metal utensils, which can scratch the surface.
- Oven Use: These fry pans are oven safe up to 500°F (260°C).
- Stovetop Compatibility: The pans feature an anti-warp induction-compatible base, making them suitable for all stovetop types, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic.

Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
- Hand Washing (Recommended): To preserve the nonstick coating and extend the life of your cookware, hand washing with a soft sponge or cloth and mild dish soap is recommended. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately.
- Dishwasher Safe: While the pans are dishwasher safe, frequent dishwasher use may dull the exterior finish over time and can reduce the lifespan of the nonstick coating.
- Stubborn Food: For stuck-on food, fill the pan with warm, soapy water and let it soak for a few minutes before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the nonstick surface.

Storage
- Store pans carefully to prevent scratching the nonstick surface. If stacking, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pans.
Troubleshooting
- Food Sticking: Ensure you are using a small amount of oil or butter. Avoid excessively high heat, which can degrade the nonstick coating over time. Ensure the pan is clean and free of residue from previous cooking.
- Uneven Heating: Verify that the pan is centered on the heat source. For induction cooktops, ensure the burner size matches the pan's base diameter.
- Warping: The HA1 series features an anti-warp base. To prevent warping, avoid extreme temperature changes, such as plunging a hot pan into cold water. Allow pans to cool before washing.
