USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
USING YOUR COOKWARE
• Before using your cookware for the first time, hand-wash with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly, then season by lightly rubbing cooking oil onto
the cooking surface and heating the cookware over medium heat for two to three minutes. When cool, hand-wash in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry
thoroughly.
• Do not use nonstick aerosol cooking sprays in your cookware. They will leave a residue, which may be difficult to remove and cause foods to stick to the
cookware.
• The new Teflon
™
Profile nonstick coating is metal utensil safe. However, to preserve the look and performance of your cookware, we recommend using
silicone, nylon, bamboo or wood utensils when cooking.
• The use of a metal utensil with a sharp edge may scratch the nonstick coating. Avoid cutting foods in the cookware, or gouging the nonstick surface.
Regardless of how hard the cooking surface is, using metal utensils with a sharp edge or knives
will damage the cooking surface over time and may void
the warranty.
• Cook using low to medium heat only. Since aluminum yields excellent conductivity and delivers even heat distribution, the use of high heat is not necessary.
In
fact, the use of high heat can permanently discolor and damage your cookware and void the warranty.
• Keep the cookware on the burner only during the necessary time for cooking. Do not overheat empty cookware.
• Your cookware is oven-safe up to 350ºF (176ºC). Even though the handles are oven-safe, they will get hot in the oven and on the stovetop, particularly on gas
stoves where an open flame is used. Therefore, use protective mitts to safely handle cookware. Do not use under an oven broiler unit.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes such as immersing hot cookware in cold water. Always let the cookware cool before washing.
CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR COOKWARE
•
Interior Cleaning:
The nonstick cooking surface on your cookware ensures easy cleanup with just soap and water. Should burnt grease or food residue collect
on the surface, it can usually be removed with warm water and a mild detergent. For extreme cases, residue can be removed with a thorough cleaning using
Soft Scrub
®
.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, steel wool or coarse scouring pads
.
• Your cookware is dishwasher-safe. However, we recommend hand-washing and drying to optimize the life and performance of the interior and exterior finishes.
IMPORTANT
• OVEN-SAFE UP TO 350ºF (176ºC)
• UTENSILS NOT OVEN-SAFE
• SEASON YOUR COOKWARE BEFORE ITS FIRST USE
• DO NOT USE NONSTICK AEROSOL COOKING SPRAYS
• USE ONLY LOW TO MEDIUM HEAT
UNDERSTANDING TEMPERED GLASS LIDS, USE & CARE
• Industrial glass is tempered by a controlled thermal treatment process to increase its strength when compared with normal glass.
• The thermal treatment of glass creates balanced internal stresses which cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering
into jagged shards.
• The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury, making tempered glass lids safer for use within household kitchens provided the instructions below are observed.
CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR TEMPERED GLASS LIDS
• Extra caution must be used when handling glass lids.
• When cleaning a glass lid, do not use abrasive cleansers, steel wool or coarse scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface of the glass lid, which may
cause breakage over time.
THERMAL SHOCK
• Avoid sudden temperature changes such as placing a hot lid on a cold surface or immersing a hot lid in cold water.
• Always let the lid cool before washing, as sudden temperature changes can break the glass.
• Do not place a cold glass lid from the refrigerator directly in a heated oven or on a hot pan. Allow the lid to reach room temperature prior to use.
IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE THE USE
of a lid that has been damaged during transportation, accidentally dropped or shows signs of damage or scratching.
Continuing to use a damaged tempered glass lid may cause shattering without warning, leading to possible injuries to users or bystanders. Contact the manufacturer for
replacement information.
CAUTION
• OVEN-SAFE UP TO 350°F (176°C)
• AVOID SUDDEN OR SEVERE TEMPERATURE CHANGES
• DO NOT IMMERSE HOT LID IN COLD WATER
• THERMAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE A TEMPERED GLASS LID TO SHATTER
• IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE OF DAMAGED LID
