2. Safety Instructions

Always follow these basic safety precautions when using your saucepan:

• Heat Safety: While the Soft Touch handle is designed to stay cool, always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling the saucepan, especially after prolonged cooking or when using it in the oven.
• Stovetop Use: Ensure the saucepan is placed centrally on the hob burner. Match the burner size to the saucepan's base to prevent overheating of the handle and sides.
• Oven Use: This saucepan is oven safe. However, be aware that the entire saucepan, including the handle, will become extremely hot when used in an oven.
• Induction Cooktops: The saucepan is suitable for induction hobs. Ensure the base is clean and free of debris before placing it on a glass or ceramic induction surface to prevent scratching.
• Empty Pan: Never heat an empty saucepan for extended periods, as this can damage the non-stick coating and the pan itself.
• Children: Keep children away from the cooking area and hot cookware.

3. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the saucepan from its packaging. Dispose of all packaging materials responsibly.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the saucepan thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse well and dry completely. This removes any manufacturing residues.

4. Operating Instructions

Cooking with your Saucepan

• Heat Settings: For optimal performance and to preserve the Marble+ coating, use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat should only be used for boiling water.
• Utensils: Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to avoid scratching the non-stick surface. Metal utensils are not recommended.
• Oil/Butter: A small amount of cooking oil or butter is recommended for best non-stick performance and flavor, though the Marble+ coating is designed for efficient cooking.
• Induction Compatibility: The saucepan features a Dot Induction bottom, ensuring efficient heat distribution on induction cooktops.

5. Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

• Cool Down: Always allow the saucepan to cool completely before washing. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
• Hand Washing: Hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the non-stick coating. Use warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the Marble+ coating.
• Stubborn Food: For stubborn food residues, fill the pan with warm water and a small amount of dish soap, let it soak for 15-20 minutes, then clean as usual.
• Drying: Dry the saucepan thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its appearance.

Storage

Store the saucepan in a dry place. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or pan protector between them to prevent scratching the non-stick surface.
