TEFAL NON-STICK COOKWARE Use And Care Instructions

THERMO-SPOT™ TECHNOLOGY
Tefal cookware comes both with and without Thermo-Spot™
technology. No more undercooked meat and soggy potatoes because
your pan is not hot enough. Thermo-Spot™, the first built in heat
indicator, tells you when the pan is at the perfect cooking temperature.
Cold: - Thermo-Spot™ pattern is visible in the dark red spot. Wait! The
spot turns solid red when the pan is perfectly preheated and ready to
cook. When the spot turns solid red, reduce the heat to maintain the
temperature. This Thermo-Spot technology should therefore help to
prevent you overheating the pan.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Use energy efficient cooking methods:
Pans should cover the hob ring or burner as close to the base diameter
as possible.
If using a gas burner do not allow the flames to show around the sides
of the pan.
The use of the lid when cooking considerably reduces energy consumption.
Use the minimum amount of water in pans and bring to the boil quickly
before reducing to a simmer.

HOB SUITABILITY (See also the sections below)
Ensure suitability for your hob by referring to the symbols displayed on
the sleeve, packaging or catalogue.
Always dry the base of your cookware before cooking, especially if you
use it on a ceramic, halogen or induction hob, otherwise the pan may
stick to the hob.
Depending on your hob type, the base of your pan may become marked
or scratched. This is normal.
Centre your pan over the heat source (this prevents damage to the
handle and exterior coating).
Small pans may need careful placement on the support legs of
gas hobs.
USE OF CERAMIC AND HALOGEN HOBS
On a ceramic hob, take care that your hob and the base of the pan/pot
are perfectly clean (to avoid anything getting trapped between the pan
and the hob, thereby scratching the hob).
Never drag pans across the surface – always lift the pans off.
USE OF INDUCTION HOBS
Induction is a heating method, which is much faster and more powerful
than other heat sources.
To guarantee the performance of your pan, never heat it when empty
because this could damage the non-stick coating and warp the base.
You should also consult the operating instructions for your induction
hob.
For the special induction base of your pan, dry it each time you wash it.
Yellowing is normal, use washing-up liquid and an abrasive sponge only
on the stainless steel base to restore its appearance.
The efficiency of the pan may be affected by the diameter and power of
your hob.

HANDLES, KNOBS AND LIDS
After washing, allow sufficient time for knobs and handles to drain.
We recommend the use of oven gloves when lifting pans and lids fitted
with stainless steel handles and knobs.
Plastic and wooden handles may become hot after prolonged use – in
which case, use oven gloves.
Handles and knobs may loosen after a time due to the continual heating
and cooling of the fixing. If this occurs carefully re-tighten using an
appropriate screwdriver, but do not over-tighten.
Only use your pan in an oven if it states on the packaging
that it is suitable for oven use and do not exceed the
recommended temperature.
Only stainless steel lids may be washed in a dishwasher. Aluminium
type lids should always be washed by hand.
Glass lids are heat resistant up to a maximum temperature of 260ºC
(500ºF). However, if dropped or subjected to extreme temperature
changes, they may shatter (let glass lids cool down before putting into
water). This is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Tefal cookware items that come with stainless steel handles with
silicone inserts are oven safe up to 260ºC (500ºF), Gas Mark 9 for a
maximum of one hour at a time.
Plastic knobs and handles with a metal insert can be put into the oven
up to 180ºC (350ºF), Gas Mark 4 for a maximum of one hour.
Plastic knobs and handles with a non-metal insert should not be put in
the oven.
