2. Setup and First Use

Unpacking:

1. Carefully remove the frying pans from their packaging.
2. Inspect the pans for any signs of damage. If damaged, contact customer support.

Before First Use:

1. Wash the pans thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.
2. Rinse completely and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
3. Lightly coat the non-stick interior with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, canola oil). Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel. This conditions the non-stick surface.

3. Operating Instructions

Cooking Guidelines:

• Heat Settings: Use low to medium heat for most cooking. High heat can damage the non-stick coating and is rarely necessary due to the pan's efficient heat distribution.
• Preheating: Allow the pan to preheat for a minute or two on low to medium heat before adding food.
• Cooking Oils: While the non-stick coating allows for cooking with minimal oil, a small amount of cooking oil or butter can enhance flavor and browning. Avoid aerosol cooking sprays, as they can leave a residue that may affect the non-stick performance over time.
• Utensils: Always use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. Metal utensils are not recommended.
• Oven Use: These pans are not oven safe. Do not place them in an oven.

4. Maintenance and Care

Cleaning:

• Hand Washing Recommended: To preserve the non-stick coating and the pan's overall finish, hand washing is strongly recommended. Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
• Dishwasher Use: While the pans are listed as dishwasher safe, frequent dishwasher use may shorten the lifespan of the non-stick coating and exterior finish due to harsh detergents and high temperatures.
• Stubborn Food: For stubborn food residues, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick surface.
• Cool Down: Always allow the pan to cool completely before washing to prevent warping.

Storage:

• Store pans carefully to avoid scratching the non-stick surface. If stacking, place a soft cloth or pan protector between them.

5. Troubleshooting

Food Sticking:

• Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding food.
• Use a small amount of cooking oil or butter.
• Avoid using high heat, which can degrade the non-stick coating over time.
• Clean the pan thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup.

Pan Warping:

• Always allow the pan to cool down naturally before washing. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
• Avoid extreme temperature changes.

Handle Loosening:

• Periodically check the handle for tightness. If it feels loose, gently tighten the screw (if accessible) with a screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
