Setup

Initial Cleaning

1. Remove all packaging materials, labels, and tags from the cookware.
2. Wash each piece thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.
3. Rinse completely and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

Attaching and Detaching the Handle

• To Attach: Align the handle's gripping mechanism with the designated attachment points on the cookware rim. Press the handle firmly against the pan and squeeze the lever until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the handle is stable before lifting or moving the pan.
• To Detach: While holding the pan steady, press the release button on the handle and gently pull it away from the cookware.

Always ensure the handle is securely attached before use. Do not attempt to attach or detach the handle while the pan is hot or full of food.

Operating Instructions

Cooking on Stovetops

• This cookware is compatible with electric, gas, and induction stovetops.
• Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat is generally not required due to the efficient heat distribution of the non-stick coating and can damage the coating over time.
• Always match the pan size to the burner size to ensure even heating and prevent energy waste.

Oven Use

• The cookware (without the detachable handle) is oven safe up to 400°F (204°C).
• Always remove the detachable handle before placing the cookware in the oven.
• Use oven mitts when handling hot cookware from the oven.

Non-Stick Performance

• The non-stick granite coating allows for cooking with minimal oil or butter.
• Always use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to protect the non-stick surface. Avoid metal utensils, which can scratch and damage the coating.

Versatile Use (Dinnerware & Storageware)

• After cooking, the pans can be used directly as serving dishes (dinnerware) by detaching the handle.
• The included storage lids allow for convenient storage of leftovers in the refrigerator.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

• Hand Washing: It is highly recommended to hand wash your CAROTE cookware with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. The non-stick surface makes cleaning effortless.
• Dishwasher Use: While the cookware is listed as dishwasher safe, hand washing is preferred to preserve the non-stick coating and overall longevity of the product. If using a dishwasher, use a mild detergent and avoid harsh cycles.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
• Ensure the cookware is completely dry before storing.

Storage

• The detachable handles allow for compact, space-saving storage.
• Use the included pan protectors when stacking cookware to prevent scratches and damage to the non-stick surface.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Food is sticking to the pan.

Solution: Ensure you are using low to medium heat settings. While non-stick, a small amount of cooking oil or butter is still recommended for optimal results and flavor. Avoid overheating the pan before adding food.

Issue: Discoloration or dark residue appearing on the exterior/bottom of the pan.

Solution: This can sometimes be aluminum oxide, which is generally harmless. To prevent this, ensure you use detergents that do not contain strong oxidizing agents like bleach. If discoloration occurs, it can often be removed by scrubbing with white vinegar and a non-abrasive brush or sponge.

Issue: Detachable handle feels loose or unstable.

Solution: Ensure the handle is correctly aligned with the attachment points and the lever is fully squeezed until it clicks securely into place. Always test the handle's stability before lifting a pan, especially when it contains food.
