4. Operating Instructions

Hob Compatibility

Your BERGNER Click & Cook pots are compatible with all types of heat sources, including:

• Induction hobs
• Gas hobs
• Halogen hobs
• Ceramic hobs
• Electric hobs

Oven Use

The pots are oven safe up to 240°C (464°F). Always remove the ergonomic handle before placing the pots in the oven. Use oven mitts when removing hot pots from the oven.

Cooking with Non-Stick

• Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the non-stick coating over time.
• While the non-stick coating allows for cooking with minimal oil, a small amount can enhance flavor and browning.
• Always use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to protect the non-stick surface. Avoid metal utensils.

Serving

The elegant design of the pots allows them to be used directly for serving at the table after removing the handle, reducing the need for extra serving dishes.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Pots

• Allow pots to cool completely before washing. Sudden temperature changes can cause warping.
• Hand washing is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating and overall lifespan of the pots. The pots are not dishwasher safe.
• Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the non-stick surface.
• For stubborn food residue, soak the pot in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.

Removable Handle

• Wipe the handle clean with a damp cloth.
• Do not immerse the handle in water or place it in the dishwasher, as this may affect its mechanism.

6. Storage

The BERGNER Click & Cook pots are designed for efficient storage. Their stackable design, combined with the removable handle, allows for up to 50% space saving in your kitchen cabinets.

• Ensure pots are clean and dry before stacking.
• Place a soft cloth or paper towel between stacked pots to protect the non-stick coating from scratches.
• Store the removable handle separately in a drawer or designated space.

7. Troubleshooting

Handle is difficult to attach/detach

• Ensure the lever on the handle is fully pressed to open the gripping mechanism before attempting to attach or detach.
• Check for any food residue or debris in the handle's mechanism or the pot's attachment slot that might be obstructing it. Clean if necessary.
• Ensure the handle is aligned correctly with the pot's rim.

Food sticking to the non-stick surface

• Ensure the non-stick surface was properly conditioned before first use (see Section 3).
• Avoid using excessively high heat, which can degrade the non-stick coating.
• Ensure you are using a small amount of cooking oil or butter, even with non-stick, for best results.
• Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch and damage the non-stick coating.
