1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Magefesa Prisma Teppanyaki Griddle Pan. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient use of your new cookware. Please read these instructions carefully before first use and retain them for future reference.

2. Safety Instructions

• Heat Management: Always use appropriate heat settings. High heat can damage the nonstick coating and warp the pan. Medium heat is generally sufficient for most cooking tasks.

• Material Safety: This product is 100% free of PFOA, lead, and cadmium.

3. Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the griddle pan.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the griddle pan thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse and dry completely.
3. Conditioning (Optional): Although not strictly necessary for modern nonstick coatings, you may lightly condition the surface by rubbing a small amount of cooking oil over the entire nonstick surface with a paper towel. Heat on low for 30 seconds, then wipe off any excess oil.

4.2 Cooking with the Griddle Pan

• Preheating: Preheat the griddle pan on medium heat for 1-2 minutes before adding food. This ensures even heat distribution.

• Even Heat Distribution: The thick tri-ply thermo-diffusing base guarantees fast and uniform heat across the entire surface, preventing hot spots.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance

• Cool Down: Always allow the griddle pan to cool completely before cleaning. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
• Dishwasher Safe: The Magefesa Prisma Teppanyaki Griddle Pan is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of the nonstick coating, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the nonstick surface.
• Stubborn Food: For stubborn food residues, soak the pan in warm soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.
• Storage: Store the griddle pan carefully to prevent scratching the nonstick surface. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or pan protector between them.

6. Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure the pan is properly preheated and a small amount of oil or butter is used. Overheating can also degrade nonstick properties over time.
• Uneven Heating: While designed for even heat, ensure the griddle pan is centered on the heat source. For induction, verify your stovetop supports the pan's dimensions for optimal performance.
• Surface Discoloration/Damage: Discoloration can occur from high heat or certain foods. Damage to the nonstick surface is typically caused by metal utensils or abrasive cleaning. Always use recommended utensils and cleaning methods.
• Handles Becoming Hot: While silicone protectors are designed to reduce heat transfer, prolonged exposure to high heat or oven use can cause handles to become hot. Always use protective mitts.
