Maintenance
• Store the product in a cool, dry place.
• Never cut anything in the basket or pan or use utensils with sharp edges as to avoid
piercing the non-stick surface.
• Never put cold water into a hot pan or basket. Sudden changes of temperature may cause
metal to warp, resulting in an uneven bottom. Let pieces cool down on their own or place in
lukewarm soapy water.
• Always use trivets or oven mitts when handling the pan and basket.
• DO NOT place the hot pan or basket on a countertop, as it will stain or burn the countertop.
Use a protective trivet.
• DO NOT place unit or pieces on any range top burner, under a broiler, microwave browning
element, or in a heated oven.
• DO NOT use scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, or any object that will scratch the unit or
accessories.
