SAFETY AND USE INSTRUCTIONS

• • Read, understand, and follow all Safety and Use Instructions to avoid injury.

WARNING

• • Adult supervision is required when using with children or persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge.
• • Keep children away from the stove while cooking. Be careful around the stove as heat, steam, and splatter can cause burns. Keep all body parts away from steam and splatter to prevent injury.
• • Steam can cause burns. Always allow excess steam to escape from the pan away from your body before handling food or removing the steamer.
• • Do not overheat your pan as smoke or fumes from burning foods, oils, and the nonstick coating itself can be hazardous to the respiratory system.
• • Always use two hands with heat-resistant oven mitts or pads when cooking and handling hot handles. Use caution when attaching and detaching the removable handle when inserting or removing the pan from the oven. If needed, use an oven mitt or grip with the opposite hand to hold the pan in place while attaching or detaching the handle.
• • Do not keep the helper handle protector on the pan handle while cooking on the stovetop or in the oven. The protector will be too hot to touch.
• • Steam can cause burns. Always allow excess steam to escape from the pan away from your body before handling food or removing the steamer.
• • The steamer handles get hot during use. Always use heat-resistant oven mitts or pads when handling. Use caution when removing the steamer as condensation may cause steam to become slippery.

SAFEGUARDS

• • Gas flames should not extend up the sides of the pan. This will damage the exterior of the pan and handles, voiding the guarantee.
• • Never leave the pan unattended while cooking. Never allow the pan to boil dry or leave an empty pan on a hot burner as the pan can get extremely hot. This could lead to warping or damaging the nonstick coating, which will void the guarantee.
• • For use on flat glass or ceramic cooktop surfaces, consult the appliance manufacturer’s instruction manual before using for the first time.
• • Avoid sliding or dragging pan over the surface of your stovetop, especially glass top ranges, as scratches to the pan are deemed to be normal wear and tear and thus are not covered by the guarantee.
• • The handle is NOT oven-safe. Placing the handle into a hot oven will cause damage and void the guarantee
• • Never place any part of this product under the broiler. The nonstick coating and handles will be severely damaged, voiding the guarantee

PARTS

• Lid	• Removable handle	• Helper handle protector
• Pan	• Steamer

CLEANING

• • Wash before using for the first time; dishwasher-safe. Place the removable handle in the utensil basket. Place the steamer and helper handle protector away from the heating element. The exterior base plate will darken after dishwashing, and a slight gray residue may form. This is normal and will not impact performance of the pan.
• • Thoroughly clean after every use.
• • Do not use oven cleaners, steel wool, steel scouring pads, harsh detergents, or detergents containing chlorine bleach.

To Deep Clean:

• • To remove stubborn spots, soak in hot, soapy water and wash by hand. You can use a nonabrasive sponge or cloth to clean the exterior and interior surfaces.
• • For tougher food buildup or occasional deep cleaning of pan or steamer, prepare a baking soda paste by mixing ½ cup (125 mL) of baking soda with 3 tbsp (45 mL) of water. Apply to the desired areas and let it stand for 15–20 minutes. Wipe off excess paste, rinse thoroughly, and towel dry.
• • To remove mineral buildup, wipe the interior clean with a nonabrasive sponge or a cloth dipped in distilled white vinegar. Rinse and hand wash with hot, soapy water.
• • To maintain a clean and shiny lid, periodically clean with a cloth dampened with vinegar or lemon juice. Rinse and dry completely.

USE AND CARE

• • To help reduce scratches on the interior and exterior coatings, place paper, soft cloth towels, or cookware protectors between pans when storing.

Using the Removable Handle

• • The handle detaches for easy cleaning, storage, and oven-use.
• • Use caution when attaching and detaching handle, and when inserting or removing cookware from the oven. If needed, use an oven mitt or grip with the opposite hand to hold the pan in place while attaching or detaching the handle.
• • The handle is NOT oven-safe. Placing the handle into a hot oven will cause damage and void the guarantee.
• • If the handle is warm to the touch under the button area after prolonged use on stovetop, allow several minutes for the handle to cool before removing.
• • To use the helper handle protector, carefully slide the protector onto the helper handle ensuring the longer lip is beneath the handle to prevent burn injuries. Always use caution when sliding onto the hot handle. Only use to cover the handle after removing from hot oven or stovetop.

To attach the handle
1. Push the small inset button inward with your thumb. 2. While holding in the small inset button, slide the large button toward you. 3. While holding both buttons, slide the handle onto the stem of the pan at a slight angle. If needed, use an oven mitt or grip with the opposite hand to hold the pan in place while attaching the handle. 4. Release the buttons once the handle is flush to the pan.

To detach the handle
1. Push the small inset button inward with your thumb. 2. While holding in the small inset button, slide the large button toward you. 3. While holding both buttons, lift the handle up and away. If needed, use an oven mitt or grip with the opposite hand to hold the pan in place while detaching the handle.

To Cook

• • The pan can be used on a glass or ceramic cooktop, electric coil, or gas burner ranges. Do not use on induction cooktops. Exterior surfaces of cookware and glass top and ceramic cooking surfaces should be clean and free of food residue before heating. Consult your stove manufacturer’s instructions for more details.
• • Select a burner size that matches the diameter of the pan’s base. For gas stoves, flames should not extend beyond the base of the pan.
• • The pan is intended to be used on low and medium heat settings and medium-high heat for short intervals. Prolonged use at higher heat settings will void the guarantee.
• • Use low heat for simmering liquids, warming food, and preparing delicate sauces.
• • Use medium heat for preheating, sautéing, searing, frying, and stir-frying.
• • Use high heat for boiling and reducing liquids only.
• • Preheating of pans should not exceed 3–5 minutes.
• • Never leave an empty pan with the burner on as it could lead to warping or damage of the nonstick coating, which will void the guarantee.
• • This pan is oven-safe to 480°F (250°C). Lids are oven-safe to 400°F (200°C). The detachable handle, helper handle, and steamer are NOT oven-safe.
• • Never place any part of this product under the broiler. The nonstick coating and handles will be severely damaged, voiding the guarantee.
• • Not microwave- or outdoor grill-safe.
• • Do not use nonstick sprays on the cookware as they cause an invisible buildup and impair the nonstick coating performance. Do not overheat oil, butter, or shortening. This will create a sticky residue that will affect the release of the nonstick and result in a reduced life of the coating.
• • Nylon, silicone, wooden, or metal utensils (with the exception of sharp knives) may be used on the pan. Metal utensils may cause some surface scratches on the coating. This is normal and will not affect the performance of the cookware.
• • When removing a hot lid, lift the lid toward you, allowing the steam to escape away from your body. Always use a heat-resistant oven mitt or pad when removing pans and/or lids from the oven or stovetop.
