Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all cookware pieces and accessories from their packaging. Dispose of packaging materials responsibly.

- Inspection: Inspect all items for any damage or manufacturing defects. Contact customer support if any issues are found.
Operating Instructions
General Cooking Guidelines
- Heat Settings: Use low to medium heat for most cooking tasks. The ceramic non-stick coating provides excellent heat distribution, making high heat unnecessary and potentially damaging to the coating over time.
- Oil/Butter Use: The non-stick ceramic-tech coating allows for cooking without butter or olive oil, promoting healthier meals. If desired, a minimal amount of oil or butter can be used.
- Utensils: To preserve the non-stick surface, use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils. Avoid metal utensils that could scratch the coating.
- Handles: The handles are designed for a comfortable and safe grip. The glass lid also features a heat protector.
Cooktop & Oven Compatibility
Your cookware set is compatible with a wide range of heat sources:
- Gas cooktops
- Electric cooktops
- Induction cookers
- Glass and ceramic cooktops (not halogen)
The pans are oven safe up to 500°F. Note: The glass lid is not oven safe.

Maintenance & Care
Cleaning
- Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of the non-stick coating, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended.
- Dishwasher Safe: The cookware is dishwasher safe, but frequent dishwasher use may reduce the lifespan of the non-stick properties.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick surface.
- Cool Down: Always allow pans to cool completely before washing to prevent warping and damage to the non-stick coating.
Storage
- Store cookware carefully to prevent scratching. If stacking, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pans to protect the non-stick surface.

Troubleshooting
- Food Sticking: Ensure you are using low to medium heat. High heat can cause food to stick even on non-stick surfaces. If using oil, ensure the pan is adequately heated before adding food.
- Uneven Heating: Verify that the pan is centered on the heat source. For induction cooktops, ensure the pan's base size is appropriate for the burner.
- Discoloration: Over time, slight discoloration may occur, which is normal and does not affect performance. Avoid using extremely high heat to minimize this.
