- 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 will cause foods to stick to the cookware.
- To preserve the look and performance of your cookware, we recommend using silicone, nylon, bamboo or wood utensils when cooking. Regardless of how hard the cooking surface is, using metal utensils or sharp objects may damage the cooking surface over time and void the warranty.
- Cook using low to medium heat only. Since aluminum cookware yields excellent conductivity and delivers even heat distribution, the usage 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 stove top, particularly gas stoves where an open flame is used. Therefore, please use protective mitts to safely handle the 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 smooth ceramic 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.
- Over time the food-release characteristics of the ceramic coating may fade. To revitalize the performance of the ceramic coating, simply re-season your cookware.
- Your cookware is dishwasher-safe. However, natural aluminum will discolor when placed in a dishwasher. We recommend hand-washing and drying to optimize the life, performance, and beauty of the interior and exterior finishes.
Exterior discoloration does not affect the performance of the cookware.
