Important Safety Instructions

• Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling the casserole dish, especially after heating, as handles can become hot.
• Do not place the casserole dish in a microwave oven.
• This product is not oven safe. Avoid using it in an oven.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing a hot dish under cold water, as this may cause warping or damage.
• Do not use metal utensils on the non-stick surface to prevent scratching. Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils.
• Keep out of reach of children when hot.

Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the casserole dish and lid.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the casserole dish and lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely with a soft cloth.
3. Seasoning (Optional for non-stick): While not strictly necessary for non-stick, some users prefer to lightly coat the interior with a small amount of cooking oil and gently heat it for a minute, then wipe clean. This can help enhance the non-stick properties.

Operating Instructions

The BERGNER Low Casserole Dish is designed for versatile cooking on various stovetops, including induction. Its non-stick surface ensures easy food release and simplifies cleaning.

• Heat Management: Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the non-stick coating over time and is generally not required due to the excellent heat distribution of stainless steel.
• Oil/Fat Usage: While the non-stick coating reduces the need for excessive oil, a small amount of cooking oil or butter is recommended for best results and to enhance flavor.
• Lid Usage: The glass lid allows you to monitor your cooking without lifting, helping to retain heat and moisture. The lid features a steam vent to prevent boil-overs.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Hand wash only. This casserole dish is not dishwasher compatible. Allow the dish to cool completely before washing. Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn food residues, soak the dish in warm water for a few minutes before cleaning.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick coating and the stainless steel exterior.
• Storage: Store the casserole dish in a dry place. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or paper towel between the dishes to protect the non-stick surface.
