Important Safety Instructions

• Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling hot cookware.
• Do not leave cookware unattended on a hot stovetop.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing a hot pan under cold water, as this can cause warping.
• Ensure the casserole is stable on the cooking surface to prevent spills.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• This casserole is not oven safe. Do not use it in an oven.

Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials, labels, and protective films from the casserole and its lid. Dispose of packaging responsibly.

2. Initial Cleaning

Before first use, wash the casserole and lid thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely with a soft cloth. This removes any manufacturing residues.

Operating Instructions

1. Heat Source Compatibility

This BERGNER casserole is designed for use on induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops. Ensure the base of the casserole is clean and dry before placing it on any heat source.

2. Cooking Temperature

Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat should only be used for boiling water. Overheating can damage the cookware and cause food to stick.

3. Using the Lid

The stainless steel lid helps retain heat and moisture, speeding up cooking and preserving flavors. The lid features a steam vent to prevent boil-overs. Always use caution when removing the lid, as hot steam can escape.

4. Utensils

While the casserole is durable stainless steel, using wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils is recommended to prevent scratching the surface.

Maintenance and Care

1. Cleaning

• Allow the casserole to cool completely before cleaning.
• 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.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface.
• Dry thoroughly immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain the shine.
• While the product description mentions "Non-Stick" finish type, the primary material is stainless steel. For best longevity, hand washing is recommended.

2. Storage

Store the casserole in a dry place. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or paper towel between items to prevent scratches.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure you are using adequate cooking oil or liquid. Avoid excessively high heat. Allow the casserole to heat up gradually before adding food.
• Discoloration: Blue or rainbow discoloration can occur on stainless steel due to overheating. This is harmless and can often be removed with a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water.
• Water Spots: These are common with hard water. To prevent, dry the casserole immediately after washing. For existing spots, use a solution of vinegar and water, then rinse and dry.
