4. Setup and First Use

Before using your new cookware set for the first time, please follow these steps:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all cookware pieces and lids from their packaging.
2. Wash: Wash each piece thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse completely.
3. Dry: Dry all pieces immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
4. Season (Optional but Recommended): For optimal nonstick performance and longevity, lightly coat the interior of each pan with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, canola). Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and wipe off excess oil with a paper towel. Repeat this process once or twice.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 General Cooking Tips

• Preheating: Preheat your pan for a minute or two on low to medium heat before adding food. This ensures even cooking.
• Heat Settings: Due to the efficient heat distribution of aluminum, medium to low heat settings are usually sufficient for most cooking tasks. High heat can damage the nonstick coating over time and is rarely necessary.
• Oil Usage: The enhanced nonstick surface allows for cooking with minimal or no oil, promoting healthier meals. If using oil, a small amount is sufficient.

5.3 Lids and Handles

The cookware comes with glass lids and silicone-inserted handles. The glass lids allow you to monitor your cooking without lifting, trapping heat and moisture effectively. The silicone inserts on the handles provide a secure and comfortable grip.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

6.1 Cleaning Instructions

To ensure the longevity and performance of your nonstick cookware, follow these cleaning guidelines:

1. Cool Down: Always allow cookware to cool completely before washing. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
2. Hand Wash Only: Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the nonstick coating.
3. Stubborn Food: For stubborn food residue, fill the pan with warm water and a small amount of dish soap, let it soak for 15-20 minutes, then clean as usual.
4. Dry Thoroughly: Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain the cookware's appearance.

6.2 Storage

When storing, place a soft cloth or paper towel between stacked pans to protect the nonstick surface from scratches. Hang pans if possible to avoid stacking.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Food Sticking:
  Solution: Ensure you are using low to medium heat. High heat can degrade the nonstick coating. Re-season the pan by lightly oiling and heating it. Avoid using metal utensils.
• Uneven Heating:
  Solution: Ensure the cookware is properly centered on the heat source. For induction cooktops, verify the pan size matches the burner size.
• Handles Getting Hot:
  Solution: While silicone handles offer heat resistance, prolonged exposure to high heat can still make them warm. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when necessary. Ensure flames on gas stoves do not extend up the sides of the pan.
• Discoloration:
  Solution: Discoloration can occur over time due to high heat or certain foods. This is typically cosmetic and does not affect performance. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
