• Refer to the product instructions or its safety book for detailed safety guidelines.
• The removable handle (sold separately) is designed for secure attachment. Ensure it is properly secured before lifting or moving the pan.

• Keep out of reach of children.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes that could damage the pan.

Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the pan from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry completely.
3. Handle Attachment (if applicable): If using the removable Ingenio handle (sold separately), ensure it is securely attached to the pan according to the handle's instructions before placing the pan on a heat source or lifting it.

Operating Instructions

Cooking on Stovetop:

1. Place the pan on your chosen hob (gas, electric, ceramic, or induction).
2. Add a small amount of cooking oil or fat if desired.
3. Heat the pan. The Thermo-Signal™ indicator in the center of the pan will change color (typically to a solid red) when the pan has reached the optimal cooking temperature, indicating it's ready to add ingredients.
4. Add your ingredients and cook as desired.
5. Always use heat-resistant utensils (wood, silicone, or plastic) to protect the non-stick coating.

2. Place the pan in a preheated oven.

Refrigerator Storage:

For storing leftovers:

1. Allow the pan to cool down before placing it in the refrigerator.
2. If using a compatible lid (sold separately), place it on the pan before storing.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: The pan is dishwasher safe. For best results and to prolong the life of the non-stick coating, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Non-Stick Coating Care: To maintain the non-stick properties, avoid cutting food directly in the pan with sharp utensils.
• Storage: Utilize the stackable design to save space. When stacking, consider placing a soft cloth or pan protector between pans to prevent scratching the non-stick surface.
