3. Operating Instructions

General Cooking Guidelines:

• Heat Settings: Due to the excellent heat conductivity of the SilitTherm base, medium to low heat settings are often sufficient for most cooking tasks. High heat should primarily be used for boiling liquids quickly.
• Lid Usage: Utilize the glass lids to retain heat and moisture, promoting energy-efficient cooking and allowing you to monitor food without lifting the lid.
• Ergonomic Handles: The stainless steel handles are designed to remain cool during stovetop cooking. However, always use oven mitts when handling pots that have been in the oven or on high heat for extended periods.
• Pouring Rim: The flared pouring rim facilitates drip-free pouring of liquids.

Oven Use:

The Silit Alicante cookware is oven-safe up to 250 °C (482 °F) without the lid, and up to 180 °C (356 °F) with the glass lid. Always use appropriate heat protection when removing pots from the oven.

4. Maintenance and Care

Cleaning:

• Dishwasher Safe: The Silit Alicante cookware set is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended for optimal longevity and to maintain the polished finish.
• Hand Washing: Wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.
• Stubborn Food Residue: For burnt-on food, soak the pot in warm soapy water before cleaning. A paste of baking soda and water can also be used for gentle scrubbing.
• Water Spots/Discoloration: To remove water spots or minor discoloration, use a stainless steel cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Drying: Always dry the cookware immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its shine.

Storage:

Store cookware in a dry place. To prevent scratches when stacking, place a cloth or paper towel between pots and pans.
