Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the pan.
2. Wash: Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth.
3. Dry: Rinse completely and dry the pan thoroughly with a soft towel.
4. Condition (Optional but Recommended): Lightly coat the entire nonstick interior surface with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, canola oil). Heat the pan on low heat for approximately 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. Wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel. This conditioning step helps optimize the nonstick performance.

Operating Instructions

Stovetop Cooking

• Heat Settings: Always use low to medium heat. The pan's quick-heating body means high heat is rarely necessary and can damage the nonstick coating over time.
• Oil Usage: While the pan is nonstick, a small amount of cooking oil or butter is recommended for flavor and to enhance browning. Avoid aerosol cooking sprays as they can leave a residue that may affect nonstick performance.
• Utensils: Use only silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to prevent scratching the nonstick surface. Metal utensils are not recommended.
• Stovetop Compatibility: This pan is suitable for all stovetops, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction. Ensure the pan is centered on the burner for even heating.

Oven Use

• The pan is oven safe up to 400°F (204°C). Always use oven mitts when handling a hot pan from the oven.

Care and Maintenance

• Cool Before Cleaning: Always allow the pan to cool completely before washing to prevent warping and thermal shock to the nonstick coating.
• Washing: While the pan is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth is recommended to prolong the life and appearance of the nonstick surface.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads, as these can damage the nonstick 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 10-15 minutes, then clean with a soft sponge.
• Storage: When storing, place a pan protector or a soft cloth between pans if stacking to prevent scratches to the nonstick surface.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the pan:

Ensure you are using low to medium heat. High heat can cause food to stick and degrade the nonstick coating over time. Always use a small amount of oil or butter. Avoid aerosol cooking sprays, which can leave a sticky residue. Clean the pan thoroughly after each use to prevent buildup.

Pan discolors or stains:

Discoloration can occur over time, especially if the pan is frequently used on high heat or with certain foods. This is normal and generally does not affect the pan's cooking performance or safety. Ensure proper cleaning and avoid overheating.

Handle feels loose:

Check if the screws attaching the handle to the pan are tight. If they are loose, carefully tighten them with a screwdriver. If the issue persists or the handle is damaged, contact customer support.
