4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Cooking with Non-Stick Cookware

• Heat Settings: Use low to medium heat for most cooking. High heat can damage the non-stick coating over time and is rarely necessary due to the efficient heat distribution.
• Oil/Butter: While the non-stick surface allows cooking with minimal oil, a small amount can enhance flavor and browning.
• Utensils: Always use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to protect the non-stick surface. Avoid metal utensils.
• Suitable Cooktops: This cookware is compatible with all heat sources, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic hobs.

4.2 Oven Use

The KELTON cookware is oven-safe. Remember to remove the handle before placing any pan or pot into the oven. This allows for versatile cooking, from stovetop searing to oven finishing.

4.3 Using the Integrated Colander Pot

The 24 cm pot features an integrated colander, making it ideal for boiling pasta, vegetables, or draining liquids directly from the pot. Simply cook, then tilt to drain through the built-in colander holes.

4.4 Utilizing the Cutting Set

The 8-piece cutting set provides various blades for slicing, dicing, and grating directly over your pots and pans, minimizing mess and preparation time. Refer to the cutting set's specific instructions for safe blade handling and usage.

4.5 Storage and Space Saving

The stackable design allows the pans and pots to nest within each other, saving up to 60% of storage space. Always use the provided felt protectors between stacked pieces to prevent scratches and preserve the non-stick coating.

• Silicone Lids: Use the hermetic silicone lids for storing leftovers directly in the cookware in the refrigerator.
• Glass Lids: The glass lids feature a stand-up design for convenient placement on the countertop during cooking.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

5.1 General Cleaning

• Allow cookware to cool completely before washing to prevent warping.
• Hand wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn food residues, soak the pan in warm water before cleaning.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
• The cookware is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the non-stick coating.

5.2 Non-Stick Coating Care

The KELTON cookware features a Swiss-developed non-stick coating with nanoceramic reinforcement, designed for maximum resistance and durability. To maintain its performance:

• Do not overheat empty pans.
• Avoid cutting food directly in the pans with sharp knives.
• Store with felt protectors to prevent scratches from other cookware.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Food Sticking

• Issue: Food begins to stick despite the non-stick coating.
• Solution: Ensure you are using appropriate heat settings (low to medium). High heat can degrade the non-stick surface over time. Always use a small amount of cooking oil or fat. Clean the pan thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup, which can impair non-stick performance.

6.2 Handle Not Attaching Securely

• Issue: The removable handle does not click firmly into place.
• Solution: Check for any food debris or obstructions in the attachment mechanism on both the handle and the cookware. Ensure the handle is correctly aligned before applying pressure. If the issue persists, inspect the handle and cookware for any visible damage.

6.3 Cookware Warping

• Issue: Cookware base appears warped or uneven.
• Solution: Warping often occurs due to sudden temperature changes. Always allow hot cookware to cool down gradually before washing or exposing it to cold water. Avoid using excessively high heat settings.
