Safety Instructions

• Always use oven mitts when handling the casserole after cooking, especially when removing from the oven or stovetop, as handles can become hot.
• Do not heat an empty casserole for extended periods, as this can damage the base.
• Ensure the casserole is stable on the cooktop to prevent spills or accidents.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Avoid using sharp metal utensils that could scratch the interior or exterior finish.

Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the casserole and all packaging materials. Inspect for any damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the casserole and lid thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely to prevent water spots.
3. Seasoning (Optional for Stainless Steel): While not strictly necessary for stainless steel, some users prefer to lightly oil the interior before first use to enhance non-stick properties over time. Heat a small amount of cooking oil over low heat for a few minutes, then let cool and wipe clean.

Cooking Guidelines

• Heat Distribution: The thermo-diffuser base ensures fast and uniform heat distribution, reducing hot spots and promoting even cooking.
• Temperature Control: Start with medium heat and adjust as needed. Stainless steel retains heat efficiently, so high heat is often unnecessary.
• Oven Use: The casserole is oven-safe up to 200°C (392°F). Ensure the lid (if used in the oven) is also oven-safe. The provided lid is made of stainless steel and is suitable for oven use.
• Energy Efficiency: The "Full Induction" technology requires up to 75% less energy to achieve desired cooking temperatures, contributing to energy savings.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Daily Cleaning

• Allow the casserole to cool completely before washing. Sudden temperature changes can cause warping.
• Wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
• For stubborn food residues, soak the casserole in warm soapy water for a period before cleaning.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots and maintain shine.

Dishwasher Use

The Magefesa Prisma Casserole is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to preserve the exterior finish and prolong the lifespan of the product.

Care Tips

• Stains: For discoloration or minor stains, a mixture of vinegar and water or a specialized stainless steel cleaner can be used. Apply with a soft cloth and rinse well.
• Storage: Store the casserole in a dry place. If stacking, place a cloth or paper towel between items to prevent scratches.
