Setup

3. Handle Operation:

   The saucepan features a patented SwingLock™ Mechanism for its folding handle. To extend the handle for use, firmly pull the handle away from the pan body until it locks securely into place.

Ensure the handle is fully locked in either position before use or storage.

Operating Instructions

Cooking with your Sauce Pan

• Heat Settings: The heavy-gauge aluminum body ensures even heat distribution. Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking tasks. High heat is generally not required due to the pan's efficient heat conductivity and non-stick properties.
• Non-Stick Coating: The ceramic non-stick coating allows for cooking with minimal oil or fat. Avoid using metal utensils, which can damage the non-stick surface. Silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils are recommended.
• Lid Usage: The tempered glass lid also features a folding handle. Use the lid to retain heat and moisture during cooking.
• Oven Use: The pan is oven safe up to 232°C (450°F). The lid is oven safe up to 200°C (392°F). Always use oven mitts when handling a hot pan or lid from the oven.
• Helper Handle: For added stability and support when lifting or carrying the pan, especially when full, utilize the folding helper handle located opposite the main handle.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: While the saucepan is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to prolong the performance and lifespan of the non-stick coating. Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals.
• Cooling: Always allow the pan to cool completely before washing to prevent warping and damage to the non-stick surface.
• Storage: The folding handle design allows for efficient storage. Ensure handles are folded inwards before nesting pans or placing them in drawers.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure you are using a small amount of oil or butter, even with non-stick. Avoid excessively high heat, which can degrade the non-stick coating over time. Always preheat the pan properly before adding food.
• Handle Not Locking: Check for any obstructions in the SwingLock™ mechanism. Ensure the handle is fully extended or folded until it clicks into place. Do not force the handle.
• Discoloration: Minor discoloration can occur over time, especially with high heat. This typically does not affect cooking performance. Ensure proper cleaning and avoid harsh chemicals.
