Use and Care Manual

Use & Care Instructions
Using Your Heavy-Gauge Aluminum Cookware
• Before using your cookware for the rst time, hand-wash with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly, then season by lightly rubbing cooking oil onto the nonstick cooking surface and heating
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
difcult 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 will damage the cooking surface over time and void the warranty.
• Cook or boil using low to medium heat only. Since aluminum yields excellent conductivity and
delivers even heat distribution, the usage of high heat is not necessary. Using a high heat setting
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 or allow gas ames to extend up sides of pans and overheat handles.
• Your cookware is oven-safe up to 350°F (176°C). Even though, the handles and lids are oven-safe,
they will get hot in the oven and on the stove top, particularly gas stoves where an open ame is
used. Therefore, please use protective mitts to safely handle hot cookware. Do not use under an
oven broiler unit.
• To prevent warping, avoid sudden temperature changes such as immersing hot cookware in cold
water. Always let the cookware cool before washing.
• When using cookware on ceramic glass stove tops, always lift (do not slide) to move to avoid
scratching the cooktop.

This cookware was developed for general use on conventional cooktops as identied by
the cooktop icons. However, due to the nish applied to the bottom of the items, certain
cooktops, especially ceramic glass, may require special handling/care when using this cookware. To
avoid damage/scratches on ceramic/glass cooktops (when applicable), we recommend to read your
appliance’s Use and Care instructions prior to using the items.
Cleaning and Caring For Your Heavy-Gauge Aluminum Cookware
• Interior Cleaning: The nonstick 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.
• Your cookware is dishwasher-safe. However, we recommend hand-washing and drying to optimize the
life and performance of the interior and exterior nishes.
