Instructions for Use and Care for coated cookware
• Before using the product for the first time, ensure that all labels and stickers are com-
pletely removed. Then boil water in it and rub the inside with a drop of cooking oil.
• After using this utensil, wash and dry it thoroughly.
• This product is very easy to clean. It is sufficient to wash them by hand. The agents
used in dish-washing machines may corrode the surface sealing and reduce the non-
stick effect.
• Clean the utensil immediately after every boiling or frying operation. For washing, use
hot water, standard washing-up liquid, a soft cloth, sponge or soft brush. Do not use
hard objects such as steel wool, abrasive detergents or oven cleaner. To remove more
stubborn stains, we recommend using a special sponge for coated cooking utensils.
• Use only a suitable source of heat. Please refer to the instructions printed on the box.
• Before using the product, rub the inside surface and sides with one or two drops of oil
(the inside surface at least should be covered with a very thin fatty film). This protects
the coating as well as the material.
• In order to avoid energy loss, place the cookware in the centre of a suitably sized hob.
The flame size of the gas hob should also be adjusted to suit the pot. Note: When
using induction hobs, it is especially important to ensure that the hob is not too large for
the base of the pot. An over-sized hob poses the risk of the cookware not connecting
properly or even at all. In addition, it can cause the sides of the cookware to overheat,
which can damage the non-stick surface of coated pots and pans. This handling error
does not represent grounds for complaint and is not included in the terms of warranty.
• When using gas, do not allow the flame to pass beyond the bottom of the pan/pot.
• Always put a little fat into the cold and empty cookware. Never heat the pan/pot up
when it is dry.
• Use only suitable cooking fats or oils. Unsuitable fats and oils may leave sticky resinous
traces on the coating and cause the non-stick effect to deteriorate.
