Bergner Jumpy Set of 3 Frying Pans Instruction Manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Bergner Jumpy Set of 3 Frying Pans. This set includes three pressed aluminium frying pans with diameters of 20 cm, 24 cm, and 28 cm, designed for versatile cooking. These pans feature a non-stick coating and are suitable for induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic hobs. Please read this manual carefully before first use to ensure proper care and optimal performance of your new cookware.

Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the frying pans.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the pans thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse well and dry completely.
3. Seasoning (Optional but Recommended): For enhanced non-stick performance and longevity, lightly coat the interior cooking surface with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil). Heat the pan over low heat for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool. Wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel.

Operating Instructions

• Heat Settings: Always use low to medium heat for cooking. High heat can damage the non-stick coating and may cause food to stick. The pressed aluminium construction ensures efficient heat distribution, making high heat unnecessary.
• Oil/Fat Usage: While the pans are non-stick, a small amount of oil or butter is recommended for flavor and to further protect the coating.
• Utensils: Use only wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. Avoid metal utensils.
• Induction Compatibility: These pans are suitable for induction cooktops. Ensure the pan base fully covers the induction hob's cooking zone for optimal performance. They are also compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic stoves.
• Oven Use: These pans are not oven safe. Do not place them in an oven.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Allow the pans to cool completely before washing. Hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating and overall lifespan. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool.
• Dishwasher Use: While some specifications may indicate dishwasher compatibility, for maximum longevity and to protect the non-stick surface, hand washing is strongly recommended.
• Storage: When storing pans, place a soft cloth or paper towel between them to prevent scratching the non-stick surface.
• Stains: For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the pan:

Ensure you are using low to medium heat. High heat can degrade the non-stick coating over time. Always use a small amount of oil or fat. Make sure the pan is clean and free of residue from previous cooking.

Uneven heating:

On induction cooktops, ensure the pan's base matches the size of the cooking zone. For all cooktops, ensure the pan is placed centrally on the heat source. Avoid using excessively high heat, which can cause hot spots.

Handles feel loose:

Periodically check the screws that attach the handle to the pan body. If they become loose, carefully tighten them with a screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
