tion carefully. Follow the safety instruc-
tions and store this user manual. Keep this
document for future reference.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
You can use the Loaf Pan with Lid on a gas
stove, in an oven, as well as in the open air on a
campfire or a suitable grill. The cast iron, which
optimally transfers and stores heat, can be used
immediately and is easy to care for thanks to the
pre-seasoned surface.
SAFETY NOTES
Caution! The Petromax Loaf Pan with
Lid and its parts (lid, handles) be-
comes extremely hot during use. Thus
children should never be allowed near
the Loaf Pan with Lid. Touch the Loaf
Pan with Lid and its parts only with
heat-resistant gloves, a cloth or the lid
lifter.
• Do not pour cold liquids (such as water) onto
the hot cast-iron Loaf Pan with Lid, for the
Loaf Pan with Lid can crack or be otherwise
damaged.
• Never use dishwashing liquid or soap to clean
the Loaf Pan with Lid.
• Do not let the Loaf Pan with Lid fall, for cast
iron is a brittle material that can crack.
FIRST USE AND CLEANING
Clean the Loaf Pan and the lid thoroughly with
hot water before using it for the first time and
dry it well. Thanks to the pre-seasoned surface
you can immediately use your sturdy Petromax
Loaf Pan after cleaning it, without seasoning
it first. Never use dishwashing liquid! We
recommend the Petromax Care Conditioner for
Cast and Wrought Iron.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE & STORAGE
As long as you take correct care of your Loaf Pan
with Lid, it should last for generations. Thus you
must follow a few important basic rules:
• Let the Loaf Pan with Lid cool down before
cleaning it with warm water. Never use
dishwashing liquid or soap to clean the Loaf
Pan with Lid. It ruins the patina.
•
Use a commercially available dishwashing
brush or a sponge (not a metal sponge!) to
clean the Loaf Pan with Lid. For stubborn dirt
or burnt food residues we also recommend
the Petromax Chain Mail Cleaner for cast and
wrought iron, which does not damage the
patina of your Loaf Pan with Lid even when
scrubbing firmly.
• The Loaf Pan with Lid is not dishwasher-safe.
• Do not clean the Loaf Pan with Lid with cold
water when it is hot. The created tension could
crack or otherwise damage the Loaf Pan with Lid.
• Never stow the Loaf Pan with Lid when it is wet
and untreated.
• Always thoroughly dry up the Loaf Pan with
Lid after cleaning it, and apply a thin layer of
the Petromax Care and Seasoning Conditioner
for cast and wrought iron, before stowing the
Loaf Pan with Lid. You can also use a neutral
oil or vegetable fat. Do not use olive oil, for it
will not reach a temperature as high as other
types of fat the next time the Loaf Pan with Lid
will be used.
• Always store the Loaf Pan with Lid in a dry
place. In order to let your Loaf Pan with Lid
„breathe“, once you have stored it, you can
place a piece of cardboard, strong paper
or wood between the pot and the lid, thus
ensuring good air circulation.
