Setup and First Use
- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the frying pan.
- Wash: Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse and dry completely.
- Season (Optional but Recommended): Lightly coat the non-stick interior with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil). Heat the pan over low heat for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel. This helps to condition the non-stick surface.
- Cooktop Compatibility: Ensure your cooktop is compatible with the pan's full induction base. The pan is suitable for induction, gas, electric, vitroceramic, and halogen cooktops.

Operating Instructions
- Heat Settings: Use low to medium heat for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the non-stick coating over time and is generally not necessary due to the pan's efficient heat distribution.
- Oil/Fat Usage: While the pan is non-stick, a small amount of oil or butter is recommended for flavor and to enhance cooking performance.
- Utensils: Always use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to protect the non-stick surface. Avoid metal utensils, as they can scratch and damage the coating.
- Overheating: Do not leave the pan empty on a hot burner for extended periods, as this can cause damage to the non-stick coating and the pan itself.
- Oven Use: This frying pan is NOT suitable for oven use.
Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Hand wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these will damage the non-stick coating.
- Dishwasher: This pan is NOT dishwasher safe. Hand washing is required to preserve the non-stick coating and overall lifespan of the product.
- Storage: When storing, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pans if stacking to prevent scratches to the non-stick surface.
- Handle Care: Periodically check the handle for tightness. If it becomes loose, gently tighten the screw with a suitable screwdriver.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Food sticks to the pan. | Too high heat, insufficient oil, damaged non-stick coating, or pan not properly seasoned. | Use lower heat settings. Ensure a small amount of oil is used. Re-season the pan. If coating is severely damaged, consider replacement. |
| Pan does not heat evenly. | Incorrect burner size, warped base, or cooktop issue. | Use a burner that matches the pan's base size. Ensure the pan is flat on the cooktop. If the base is warped, contact support. |
| Handle becomes loose. | Normal wear and tear. | Tighten the screw on the handle with a suitable screwdriver. |
