Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the frying pan from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse well and dry completely.
3. Conditioning (Optional but Recommended): For enhanced non-stick performance, lightly coat the cooking surface with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil) using a paper towel. Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and wipe off any excess oil.

Operating Instructions

Heat Source Compatibility

The Tefal Titanium Fusion frying pan is designed for use on all heat sources, including:

• Gas stovetops
• Electric coil stovetops
• Ceramic stovetops
• Smooth surface induction stovetops

Thermo-Spot Indicator

The unique Thermo-Spot indicator located in the center of the pan's cooking surface turns solid red when the pan has reached the ideal temperature for cooking. This ensures optimal searing and cooking results.

Cooking Recommendations

• Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks to preserve the non-stick coating and ensure even cooking. High heat should only be used for short periods, such as boiling water.
• The pan is suitable for versatile use, including searing, stewing, and preparing various foods such as meat, vegetables, and sauces.
• While the non-stick coating allows cooking with minimal oil, a small amount of oil or butter can enhance flavor and browning.

Oven Safety

This frying pan is oven-safe up to 175°C (350°F). Ensure the handle material (ceramic) is suitable for the intended oven temperature.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning Instructions

• Allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Sudden temperature changes can warp the pan or damage the non-stick coating.
• Wash the pan by hand with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can scratch and damage the non-stick surface.
• For stubborn food residues, soak the pan in warm soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.
• Important: This frying pan is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating and overall lifespan of the pan.

Storage

When storing, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pans if stacking to prevent scratching the non-stick surface.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure the pan is properly preheated using the Thermo-Spot indicator. Always use a small amount of oil or butter, even with non-stick surfaces, for best results. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the coating.
• Pan Warping: Avoid extreme temperature changes, such as placing a hot pan under cold water. Always allow the pan to cool naturally before cleaning.
• Coating Discoloration: Minor discoloration over time is normal and does not affect the pan's performance. Ensure proper cleaning and avoid excessive high heat.
