4. Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all cookware from its packaging. Remove any labels or protective materials.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all pieces with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Pre-seasoning (Optional but Recommended): For enhanced nonstick performance, lightly rub a small amount of cooking oil (such as vegetable or canola oil) onto the entire nonstick surface with a paper towel. Heat the pan on low heat for 30-60 seconds. Let it cool, then wipe off any excess oil.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Heat Control

• Always use low to medium heat settings. High heat can damage the nonstick coating over time and lead to discoloration.
• Preheat the pan for approximately 90 seconds before adding food. This allows for even heat distribution.
• The cookware's heavy-gauge aluminum body ensures quick and even heating, so excessive heat is rarely necessary.

5.2 Oil/Butter Usage

• Always use a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Avoid using cooking sprays, as they can leave a residue that may affect nonstick performance.

5.3 Utensil Use

• Silicone, wooden, or nylon utensils are recommended to protect the nonstick surface.
• While the coating is metal utensil safe, prolonged use of metal utensils may reduce the lifespan of the nonstick surface.

6. Maintenance and Care

6.1 Cleaning

• Always allow cookware to cool completely before washing to prevent warping.
• Hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended for best results and to extend the life of the nonstick coating.
• The cookware is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is gentler on the nonstick surface.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can damage the nonstick coating.
• For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before cleaning.

6.2 Storage

• Use the provided pan protectors when stacking cookware to prevent scratches and damage to the nonstick surface.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Food Sticking

• Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding food.
• Always use a small amount of oil or butter.
• Avoid cooking sprays, which can leave residue.
• Clean the pan thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup.

7.2 Discoloration

• High heat can cause discoloration. Always use low to medium heat.
• Ensure proper cleaning to remove any food particles that might burn and cause stains.
