3. Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all items from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
2. Wash: Before first use, wash all cookware items (pots, pans, lids, utensils, knives) thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely.
3. Condition (Pans): For optimal non-stick performance, lightly coat the interior of the frying pans with a small amount of cooking oil after drying. Wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel. This step helps to season the non-stick surface.
4. Inspect: Check all items for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects. Contact customer support if any issues are found.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 General Cooking Guidelines

• Heat Settings: Due to the efficient heat distribution of forged aluminum and turbo induction base, medium to low heat settings are generally sufficient for most cooking tasks. High heat should only be used for boiling water or searing for short periods. Excessive high heat can damage the non-stick coating and cause discoloration.
• Oil/Fat: While the non-stick coating allows for cooking with minimal oil, a small amount of cooking oil or butter is recommended for flavor and to further protect the surface.
• Utensils: Always use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. Avoid metal utensils.
• Lids: Use the tempered glass lids to retain heat and moisture, speeding up cooking and saving energy. The lids feature an 18/10 stainless steel knob and ring.

4.2 Cooktop Compatibility

This cookware set is suitable for all types of cooktops, including:

• Gas
• Electric
• Ceramic
• Halogen
• Induction (Energy-saving turbo induction base)

4.3 Oven Use

The cookware items are oven-safe. However, always check the maximum temperature rating for the specific item, especially for lids and handles, to prevent damage.

5. Care and Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

• Cool Down: Always allow cookware to cool completely before washing. Submerging hot cookware in cold water can cause warping.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of the non-stick coating, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth is recommended.
• Dishwasher Safe: The cookware is dishwasher safe. However, frequent dishwasher use may reduce the lifespan of the non-stick coating and dull the exterior finish over time.
• Stubborn Food: For stubborn food residues, soak the pan in warm soapy water for a short period before cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick surface.
• Knives: Hand wash knives immediately after use and dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion and maintain sharpness.

5.2 Storage

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

6. Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking:
  • Ensure you are using appropriate heat settings (medium to low).
  • Always use a small amount of oil or fat.
  • Avoid overheating empty pans.
  • Check for damage to the non-stick coating.
• Discoloration:
  • High heat can cause discoloration over time. Use recommended heat settings.
  • Certain foods or detergents might cause minor staining; this typically does not affect performance.
• Warping:
  • Sudden temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot pan under cold water) can cause warping. Always allow cookware to cool naturally.
