Safety Instructions

• Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling the pan during or after cooking, as the handle can become hot.
• Do not leave the pan unattended on a hot cooktop.
• Avoid using metal utensils on the non-stick surface to prevent scratches. Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils.
• Do not overheat an empty pan. This can damage the non-stick coating and the pan itself.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• This pan is not oven safe. Do not place it in an oven.

Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the frying pan.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse well and dry completely.
3. Seasoning (Optional but Recommended): For optimal non-stick performance, lightly coat the interior surface with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil). Heat the pan over low heat for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool. Wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel.

Operating Instructions

Cooking

• Heat Settings: Use low to medium heat for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the non-stick coating over time and is generally not necessary due to the pan's efficient heat distribution.
• Oil/Fat Usage: While the pan has a non-stick coating, a small amount of cooking oil or butter is recommended for flavor and to enhance cooking performance.
• Cooktop Compatibility: This pan is suitable for all cooktops, including induction. Ensure the pan is centered on the heat source for even cooking.
• Utensils: Always use wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to protect the non-stick surface.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Cool Down: Always allow the pan to cool completely before washing. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
• Hand Wash Only: This frying pan is not dishwasher safe. Wash by hand with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
• Stubborn Food: For stubborn food residues, soak the pan in warm soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
• Drying: Dry the pan thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its appearance.
• Storage: Store the pan carefully to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or pan protector between them.

Troubleshooting

Food Sticking:

Ensure you are using a small amount of oil or fat. Avoid excessively high heat, which can degrade the non-stick coating over time. Make sure the pan is clean and free of residue from previous cooking.

Uneven Heating:

On induction cooktops, ensure the pan's base diameter matches the induction zone size as closely as possible. On gas stoves, ensure the flame does not extend beyond the base of the pan.

Handle Loosening:

The handle is riveted for durability. If it feels loose, inspect the rivets. Do not attempt to tighten rivets yourself; contact customer support if this issue arises.
