4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Stovetop Compatibility

This cookware set is compatible with various heat sources, including:

• Gas stovetops
• Electric stovetops
• Ceramic stovetops
• Induction hobs

Ensure the cookware base is centered on the heat source for even heating.

4.2 Cooking with Non-Stick Surfaces

The pots and pans feature a durable non-stick coating. To prolong its life:

• Use low to medium heat settings. High heat can damage the non-stick surface over time.
• Always use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils. Metal utensils can scratch the coating.
• Avoid cutting food directly in the pans.

4.3 Using the Lids

The included lids are designed for efficient cooking. Some lids may feature integrated straining holes for easy draining of liquids.

4.4 Oven Use

The cookware is oven-safe. Remove the removable handle before placing pots or pans in the oven.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

The BRUNNER cookware set is dishwasher safe. For best results and to prolong the life of the non-stick coating, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the non-stick surface.

5.2 Care for Non-Stick Coating

To maintain the non-stick properties:

• Allow cookware to cool completely before washing.
• Do not use metal scrubbers.
• Store carefully to prevent scratching by other utensils or cookware. The Vacublock system and pot protectors (if included) help prevent this.

5.3 Storage

Utilize the Vacublock stacking system and lashing strap for compact and secure storage, especially during travel. This prevents damage and minimizes noise.

6. Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure you are using appropriate cooking fats or oils. Avoid excessively high heat, which can degrade the non-stick coating.
• Cookware Rattling During Transport: Re-stack the set using the Vacublock system and ensure the lashing strap is securely tightened.
• Handle Not Attaching Securely: Check for any debris in the gripping mechanism. Ensure the handle is fully engaged and the lever is released to lock it onto the cookware rim.
