3. Safety Information
Adhering to these safety guidelines will ensure safe and effective use of your heat-resistant gloves:
- Temperature Limits: Do not expose gloves to temperatures exceeding 480°F (249°C) or below -100°F (-73°C). While resistant, prolonged contact with extreme temperatures at the upper limit may eventually transfer heat.
- Inspect Before Use: Always inspect gloves for any cuts, tears, or damage before each use. Damaged gloves may compromise heat resistance and protection.
- Avoid Sharp Objects: While durable, these gloves are not cut-resistant. Exercise caution when handling sharp knives or other pointed objects.
- Dry Use Recommended for Maximum Grip: Although waterproof, wet gloves may reduce grip on certain surfaces. Ensure a secure grip when handling hot or heavy items, especially if gloves are wet.
- Proper Fit: Ensure the gloves fit snugly but comfortably to maintain dexterity and prevent slippage. Refer to the sizing guide for optimal fit.
- Storage: Store gloves in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain material integrity.
4. Usage Instructions
These gloves are designed for a wide range of culinary and outdoor cooking applications:
- Oven and Baking: Use to safely retrieve hot baking sheets, casserole dishes, and Dutch ovens from conventional or convection ovens.
- Grilling and Barbecue: Ideal for handling hot grill grates, moving charcoal, or turning meat directly on the grill.
- Smoking: Provides protection when managing hot smokers, adjusting vents, or handling smoked meats.
- Food Preparation: Use for tasks requiring direct hand contact with hot food, such as shredding cooked meats (e.g., pulled pork) or handling hot vegetables.
- Kitchen Tasks: Suitable for general kitchen use where heat protection is needed, including handling hot pots and pans on the stovetop.
- Cleaning: The waterproof nature allows for use in washing dishes or cleaning hot cooking equipment.

5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your LANON Protection Wahoo gloves:
- Cleaning: The gloves are easy to clean due to their waterproof, stain-resistant, and grease-impervious properties. Hand wash only. Use mild dish detergent and hot water.
- Drying: After washing, allow the gloves to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this may damage the material and liner.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or strong solvents, as these can degrade the silicone material.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your gloves, consider the following:
- Reduced Heat Resistance: Ensure gloves are not damaged. Verify that the temperature of the item being handled is within the specified limits (-100°F to 480°F). Prolonged contact with items at the upper temperature limit will eventually transfer heat.
- Slippage/Poor Grip: Ensure gloves are dry for optimal grip, especially on smooth surfaces. If handling greasy items, the silicone provides grip, but caution is always advised.
- Discomfort/Sweating: The CoralAir liner is designed for breathability. Ensure gloves are clean and dry before use. If discomfort persists, verify correct sizing.
- Difficulty Cleaning: Follow the hand wash instructions using mild detergent and hot water. For stubborn stains, a soft brush may be used gently.
