CAST ALUMINUM COOKWARE
Use And Care Instructions
Prior to using Fagor’s Cast Aluminum Cookware for the first time, please read these
instructions carefully.
Before First Use:
• Before using for the first time, wash in hot, soapy water, dry thoroughly, and coat with a thin layer of
oil (i.e. vegetable, canola, olive).
• Read the safety instructions found in this manual.
Everyday Use:
• This cookware is compatible with gas, electric, radiant and induction cooktops.
• Do not use it directly on a coal barbecue or on a wood fire. Never use it in a microwave oven.
• If you are using a gas cooktop, always put the cookware on a burner that is of equal or smaller size
than the cookware itself; you will avoid safety hazards, save energy and keep your kitchen cooler.
• Avoid extreme changes in temperature. If you start cooking or preheating on a low heat for 20
seconds you will prolong the life of your non-stick coating.
• Do not use metal or sharp-edged utensils inside the cookware. They might scratch the non-stick
surface. Wooden, plastic or silicone utensils are recommended and will prolong the life of the
nonstick coating.
• Avoid sliding or dragging the pot over the surfaces of your radiant, induction, gas or electric
cooktops, as it may scratch your cooktop.
• Cook at low to medium temperatures to achieve optimum results, enhance flavors and preserve
nutritional values. This also helps to achieve energy savings and reduced electricity costs.
• Always use potholders or similar protection to avoid contact with the hot handles.
• Take care to always place hot cookware onto a trivet or heat absorbing table mat, and never directly
onto a table surface.
