Setup

Unpacking: Carefully remove all cookware pieces and accessories from their packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all cookware and lids thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth. This removes any manufacturing residues.
Conditioning (Optional but Recommended): For optimal nonstick performance, lightly rub a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil) onto the nonstick surface with a paper towel. Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and wipe off any excess oil. This helps to condition the surface.

Operating Instructions

Heat Management

Compatible Cooktops: Scanpan CS+ cookware is compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic.
Oven Safe: This cookware is oven safe up to 500°F (260°C), allowing for versatile cooking from stovetop to oven.
Medium Heat Usage: Due to the excellent heat conductivity of the clad aluminum construction, medium heat is typically sufficient for most cooking tasks. High heat should only be used for boiling liquids. Overheating can damage the nonstick surface over time.

Cooking Tips

Oil Usage: While the Stratanium+ nonstick surface allows for cooking with minimal or no oil, a small amount of oil or butter can enhance flavor and browning. Avoid aerosol cooking sprays, as they can leave a residue that may affect nonstick performance.
Utensil Compatibility: The Stratanium+ nonstick coating is designed to be metal utensil safe. However, for prolonged life of your cookware, silicone, wood, or plastic utensils are recommended.
Searing and Browning: The micro-textured surface of the CS+ cookware is optimized for exceptional searing and browning, allowing you to achieve professional results.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

Dishwasher Safe: Scanpan CS+ cookware is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of your cookware, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the nonstick surface and exterior finish.
Stubborn Food Residue: If food residue is difficult to remove, fill the pan with warm water and a small amount of dish soap, let it soak for 15-20 minutes, then clean as usual.
Exterior Cleaning: The brushed stainless steel exterior can be cleaned with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner to maintain its luster.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
