Setup and First Use

- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the casserole and glass lid thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely with a soft cloth.
- Conditioning (Optional but Recommended): For optimal non-stick performance, lightly coat the interior non-stick surface with a small amount of cooking oil using a paper towel. Heat the casserole over low heat for 1-2 minutes, then let it cool and wipe off any excess oil.

Operating Instructions
Heat Source Compatibility
The BERGNER Carbon TT Casserole is designed for versatility and is compatible with various heat sources:
- Induction Stovetops: The induction base ensures efficient heating.
- Gas Stovetops: Suitable for use on gas burners.
- Halogen Stovetops: Compatible with halogen cooking surfaces.
- Electric Stovetops: Can be used on electric coil or radiant cooktops.
- Vitro-Ceramic Stovetops: Works effectively on vitro-ceramic surfaces.
Always match the base of the casserole to the size of the burner to prevent energy waste and potential damage to the handles from excessive heat.
Cooking with Non-Stick
- Heat Settings: Use low to medium heat for most cooking tasks. High heat is generally not required for non-stick cookware and can shorten the lifespan of the coating.
- Utensils: Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to protect the non-stick surface. Avoid metal utensils, which can scratch and damage the coating.
- Oil Usage: The advanced Fusion Titanium non-stick interior requires minimal oil, promoting healthier cooking.
- Glass Lid: The tempered glass lid allows you to monitor food without lifting, helping to retain heat and moisture for faster cooking.

Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
- Cool Down: Always allow the casserole to cool completely before washing. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
- Hand Washing: Hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating and exterior finish.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick surface and the exterior.
- Dishwasher Safety: While some components may be dishwasher safe, hand washing extends the product's lifespan and maintains its appearance.
Storage
When storing, place a soft cloth or paper towel between the casserole and other cookware to prevent scratches to the non-stick interior and exterior finish.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Food sticking to non-stick surface. | Excessive heat, damaged coating, insufficient oil. | Use lower heat settings. Ensure only non-metal utensils are used. Re-condition the pan with oil. |
| Uneven heating. | Incorrect burner size, warped base. | Use a burner that matches the casserole's base diameter. Avoid sudden temperature changes. |
| Handles getting hot. | Flame extending beyond the base, prolonged high heat. | Adjust flame to stay within the base. Use oven mitts or pot holders if handles become hot. |
