Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all cookware pieces and accessories from their packaging.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all pots, pans, and lids with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. This removes any manufacturing residues.
3. Inspection: Inspect each item for any damage. Contact customer support if any defects are found.

Operating Instructions

• Stovetop Compatibility: This cookware set is compatible with all cooktops, including induction, electric, and gas stovetops.
• Heat Settings: Use medium heat for most cooking tasks. High heat is generally not recommended for nonstick surfaces as it can damage the coating over time and lead to uneven cooking. The reinforced die-cast aluminum construction ensures quick and even heating.
• Utensil Use: To preserve the nonstick coating, use only silicone or wooden utensils. Avoid metal utensils, as they can scratch and damage the surface.
• Nonstick Performance: The top-level, harder nonstick granite material provides excellent food release, allowing for cooking with less oil.
• Handles: The bakelite handles are designed to remain cool to the touch during stovetop cooking, providing a comfortable and secure grip.
• Lids: Glass lids allow for monitoring food without lifting, helping to retain heat and moisture.
• Pour Spouts: Some saucepans feature convenient pour spouts for easy transfer of liquids.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Hand washing is recommended for all cookware pieces. The nonstick surface makes cleaning effortless; simply wipe with a paper towel or rinse with water and mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can damage the nonstick coating.
• Dishwasher Safety: This cookware set is not dishwasher safe. Dishwasher detergents and high heat can degrade the nonstick coating and handle materials over time.
• Oven Safety: This cookware set is not oven safe. Do not place any pieces in the oven.
• Storage: Use the provided pan protectors when stacking cookware to prevent scratches and damage to the nonstick surfaces.
• Preventing Discoloration: To prevent discoloration on the exterior bottom of the pans, ensure that the flame on gas stovetops does not extend beyond the base of the pan.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure you are using appropriate heat settings (medium heat is usually sufficient) and a small amount of oil or butter. Avoid overheating empty pans.
• Discoloration/Peeling: While the nonstick coating is durable, improper use (e.g., high heat, metal utensils, abrasive cleaning) can lead to discoloration or peeling over time. Always adhere to the care instructions to maximize product lifespan.
• Loose Handles: If handles feel loose, inspect for any visible damage. Contact customer support for assistance.
