Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the pan lid from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth.
3. Compatibility Check: Ensure the lid size matches your Ozeri pan. This 12-inch lid is designed for 12-inch Ozeri pans. While it may fit other brands, optimal performance and the free-standing feature are guaranteed with Ozeri pans.

Operating Instructions

1. Placing the Lid: Position the lid securely on top of your Ozeri pan. The tempered glass allows you to observe cooking without lifting.
2. Utilizing the Free-Standing Feature: When you need to remove the lid temporarily (e.g., for stirring or serving), simply lift it off the pan and place it vertically on your countertop using the integrated handle as a stand. Ensure the handle is stable on a flat surface.
3. Oven Use: The lid is oven-safe up to 300 °F (150 °C). When using in the oven, ensure the pan and lid are placed on a stable rack. Always use oven mitts when handling hot items.
4. Steam Vent: The built-in steam vent helps release excess pressure and steam, preventing boil-overs and maintaining optimal cooking conditions.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: The Ozeri Free-Standing Pan Lid is 100% dishwasher-safe. For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Storage: Store the lid in a dry place. The free-standing design allows for convenient vertical storage, saving cabinet space.
• Avoid Extreme Temperature Changes: While the lid is made of tempered glass, avoid sudden and extreme temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot lid directly into cold water) to prevent thermal shock.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the lid for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the glass or handle. Discontinue use if damage is observed.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not fit my pan:

Ensure the lid size matches your pan's diameter. This lid is 12-inch. It is specifically designed for Ozeri brand pans; compatibility with other brands may vary.

Lid handle feels loose:

Check if the screw attaching the handle to the glass is securely tightened. If it continues to feel loose or if the handle is damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.

Steam is not escaping properly:

Verify that the steam vent is clear and not obstructed by food particles. Clean the vent if necessary.
