2. Safety Instructions

Please observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product:

• Do not overheat the pan when empty. Overheating can damage the non-stick coating and cause discoloration.
• Always use a heat source appropriate for the pan's base diameter.
• Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking. High heat should only be used for short periods, such as boiling water.
• Always use wooden, plastic, or silicone utensils to protect the non-stick coating. Avoid metal utensils.
• The handle may become hot during cooking. Always use oven mitts or a cloth when handling the pan.
• Do not use the pan in a conventional oven as it is not oven-safe.
• Keep children away from the cooking area.
• Ensure the pan is stable on the hob before cooking.

3. Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the pan from its packaging and dispose of all packing materials responsibly.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse and dry completely.
3. Seasoning (Optional but Recommended): For optimal non-stick performance and longevity, lightly coat the cooking surface with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil) using a paper towel. Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and wipe off any excess oil.

4. Operating Instructions

4.2 Using Thermo-Signal™ Technology

The Thermo-Signal™ indicator in the center of the pan's cooking surface helps you identify the ideal temperature for cooking. When the pan is cold, the pattern is clearly visible. As the pan heats up, the pattern gradually disappears, and the Thermo-Signal™ turns solid red when the pan has reached the perfect temperature for cooking, ensuring optimal results for your dishes.

4.3 Cooking with the Pan

• Place the pan on your chosen hob.
• Add a small amount of oil or butter if desired, though the non-stick coating allows for cooking with minimal fat.
• Heat the pan over low to medium heat until the Thermo-Signal™ indicator turns solid red.
• Add your ingredients and cook as desired.
• Always use appropriate utensils to protect the ceramic non-stick surface.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

5.1 Daily Cleaning

• Allow the pan to cool completely before cleaning. Sudden temperature changes can warp the pan or damage the coating.
• Wash the pan with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can scratch the non-stick surface.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.

5.2 Dishwasher Use

The Tefal Renew Crêpe Pan is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the non-stick coating and the pan's overall appearance.

5.3 Storage

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

6. Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure the pan is properly heated (Thermo-Signal™ red) before adding food. Use a small amount of oil or butter. Avoid using metal utensils that could damage the coating.
• Uneven Heating: Ensure the pan is centered on the hob. For induction hobs, ensure the hob size matches the pan's base diameter.
• Discoloration: High heat over prolonged periods can cause discoloration. Always use low to medium heat. This does not typically affect performance.
