Thermo-Signal Indicator
The Thermo-Signal indicator in the center of the pan changes color to indicate when the pan has reached the optimal cooking temperature. This ensures perfect searing and even cooking results.

- Hand Wash Only: It is recommended to hand wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge.

Storage
When storing, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pans if stacking to prevent scratches to the non-stick coating.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Tefal G26275 Stir-fry Pot, please consider the following:
- Food Sticking: Ensure the pan was properly seasoned before first use. Avoid using excessive heat, as this can degrade the non-stick coating over time. Always use a small amount of oil or butter.
- Uneven Heating: Verify that the pan is centered on the heat source. For induction cooktops, ensure the burner size matches the pan's base.
- Handle Loosening: Periodically check the handle for tightness. If it becomes loose, gently tighten the screw if accessible.
