T-Fal NON-STICK COOKWARE Use & Care Instructions

Cleaning:
T-FAL NON-STICK COOKWARE
Hand-washing is recommended.
Hand-washing: Always wait for your cookware to cool
before cleaning. T-fal cookware is easy to clean in warm,
soapy water using a cloth or sponge. Never use abrasive
cleaners or scouring pads such as steel wool, scouring
powder or oven cleaner. Stubborn spots can be removed with
cleaners that specify "safe for non-stick surfaces."
When cleaning glass lids, do not use metal scouring pads or
harsh abrasives, as they may scratch and weaken the glass.
Dishwashing: T-fal cookware can be cleaned in a dishwasher, but
be advised that hard enamel, brushed aluminum and stainless steel
EXTERIOR finishes may discolor and become dull due to the abrasive
nature of dishwasher detergents. These effects are not covered under
the warranty.
When placing non-stick cookware in the dishwasher, position the
items vertically between the spikes of the dishwasher rack to
minimize friction between the non-stick surface and the spikes
during the washing cycle. It is recommended to re-season non-stick
pans with cooking oil after every 10 dishwashing cycles.
NOTE: With stainless steel cookware, a blue or yellow discoloration
may appear over time. This is a natural occurrence that may result
from overheating and does not indicate any problem with the cook-
ware. The discoloration can be removed with a special cleaner
for stainless steel cookware, or by adding lemon juice or vinegar
to your regular cleaning solution.
NOTE:
To avoid discoloration, T-fal cookware with polished
aluminum or brushed aluminum exteriors should not be
cleaned in the dishwasher.
NOTE: T-fal cookware with hard anodized exterior is not dish-
washer safe.
General Safety Recommendations:
• Keep children away from the stove while you are cooking. Be careful
around the stove, as heat, steam and splatter can cause injury.
Do not touch cookware with a wet cloth or potholder or put it on
•
a wet surface. Hot cookware should be placed on heat-resistant
surfaces only.
• Do not add cold water, ice or fully frozen food items directly to a hot
pan, as a steam eruption could occur that could cause burns or other
injury to users or bystanders. Be especially cautious in this regard
when the pan contains hot oils used during cooking, as steam
eruptions are possible when elements containing water are
brought into contact with hot oil.
• When boiling water, add salt to water only after it has come to a
boil to keep salt grains from damaging the steel components of the
cookware.
• Do not combine cookware to make a double boiler. These pieces
are not designed for that purpose, and such use could result in
steam-related burns or other injury to users or bystanders.
• T-fal cookware cannot be used in a microwave, under a broiler,
over a campfire or on any type of grill, and should not be placed
in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
T-fal cookware is compatible with gas, spiral or solid electric,
•
ceramic (radiant) and halogen rangetops. See packaging for
further details. T-fal stainless steel products are suitable for use on all
types of rangetops, including induction.
