3.1 Unpacking and Inspection
- Carefully remove all cookware pieces and accessories from the packaging.
- Inspect each item for any signs of damage. If any items are damaged, contact customer support immediately.
- Remove all labels and packaging materials from the cookware.
3.2 Handle Assembly
Some handles may require minor assembly. A screwdriver is typically included for this purpose. Securely attach any loose handles to the cookware using the provided hardware. Ensure all screws are tightened firmly before use.
3.3 Initial Cleaning
Before first use, wash all cookware pieces and lids thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse well and dry completely. This removes any manufacturing residues.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Heat Management
Your SENSARTE cookware is compatible with all stovetops, including gas, ceramic, electric, and induction. The die-cast aluminum construction with a 4.8mm thick stainless steel pan bottom ensures quick and even heat distribution.
- Always use low to medium heat settings. High heat is generally not necessary due to the efficient heat conductivity and can damage the non-stick coating over time.
- Match the pan size to the burner size to prevent overheating of handles and wasted energy.
- Do not preheat empty pans on high heat for extended periods.
4.2 Cooking with Non-stick Ceramic Surface
The ceramic non-stick surface requires less oil for cooking, supporting a healthy, low-fat diet. It offers excellent food release and is scratch-resistant under normal use.
- Use a small amount of cooking oil or butter to enhance flavor and further protect the non-stick surface.
- Always use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils to avoid scratching the ceramic coating. Metal utensils are not recommended.
- The anti-scald wood-grain Bakelite handles are ergonomically designed for comfort and safety during cooking.
4.3 Glass Lids
The explosion-proof tempered glass lids allow you to monitor your cooking without lifting the lid, preventing splashing and ensuring maximum visibility while locking in moisture and heat.
5. Maintenance and Care
5.1 Cleaning Instructions
Proper cleaning is crucial for maintaining the non-stick performance and appearance of your SENSARTE cookware.
- Hand Washing Recommended: This cookware is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating and the integrity of the wood-grain Bakelite handles.
- Cool Down Before Cleaning: Always allow the cookware to cool completely before washing to prevent warping and thermal shock to the non-stick surface.
- Use Soft Materials: Wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. The rivet-free design makes cleaning effortless.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, metal scouring pads, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the ceramic non-stick coating.
- Stubborn Food Residue: 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 gently with a soft sponge.
5.2 Storage
To protect the non-stick surface and prevent scratches, use the included pot protectors when stacking your cookware. Store in a dry place.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Food sticks to the surface | Insufficient oil used; heat too high; pan not properly cleaned. | Ensure a small amount of oil or butter is used. Cook on low to medium heat. Clean the pan thoroughly after each use. Avoid using metal utensils. |
| Stains appear on the ceramic surface | Food residue left for too long; high heat cooking; certain acidic foods. | Clean the pan immediately after use. For stubborn stains, soak in warm soapy water before cleaning. Avoid excessively high heat. |
| Handles become loose | Screws may have loosened over time. | Carefully re-tighten the screws using a screwdriver. Do not overtighten. |
| Cookware warps | Sudden temperature changes (thermal shock); extreme overheating. | Always allow cookware to cool down naturally before washing. Avoid using very high heat settings. The die-cast aluminum construction is designed to resist warping. |
