Use and Care Manual

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
• Your new stock pot can be used with or without the Lock & Drain insert.
• To ensure that the drain holes are completely clean, soak the Lock & Drain insert in hot, soapy water for a few minutes and then gently
scrub with a nonabrasive pad. We also recommend running the Lock & Drain insert through the dishwasher before using.
• For everyday boiling of foods that require draining, you can attach the insert before cooking by following these simple instructions.
• For boiling of foods longer than 10 minutes that also require draining, we recommend that you attach the insert after cooking by
following the instructions below. This procedure will prevent dripping and preserve the natural appearance of the exterior coating
of your cookware.
- Remove stock pot from heat source. Wait 1 or 2 minutes for steam to dissipate. Attach the Lock & Drain insert by holding the lip
of the insert. Avoid hand contact to the pot. See Figures 1, 2 and 3.
• Failure to follow these instructions may have a negative effect on the exterior appearance of the cookware.
IMPORTANT!
TO AVOID INJURY OR SPILLS, MAKE SURE THE LOCK & DRAIN INSERT IS IN THE LOCKED POSITION
BEFORE DRAINING THE CONTENTS OF YOUR 6QT STOCK POT.
USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
USING YOUR 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 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 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 may 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. 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 or boiling. 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
stovetop, particularly gas stoves where an open ame 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 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.
IMPORTANT
• SEASON YOUR COOKWARE BEFORE ITS FIRST USE
• DO NOT USE NONSTICK AEROSOL COOKING SPRAYS
• USE ONLY LOW TO MEDIUM HEAT
• USE ONLY SILICONE, NYLON, BAMBOO OR WOOD UTENSILS
• OVEN-SAFE UP TO 350ºF (176ºC)
UNDERSTANDING TEMPERED GLASS LIDS, USE & CARE
• Industrial glass is tempered by a controlled thermal treatment process to increase its strength when compared with normal glass.
• Tempering creates balanced internal stresses which cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of
splintering into jagged shards.
• The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury. Under normal usage, and by following the instructions below, tempered glass lids
are safer for use within household kitchens.
• However, extra caution must be used when handling glass lids.
• When cleaning a glass lid, do not use abrasive cleansers, steel wool or coarse scouring pads, as they may scratch the
surface of the glass lid, which may cause breakage over time.
THERMAL SHOCK
• Avoid sudden temperature changes such as placing a hot lid on a cold surface or immersing a hot lid in cold water.
• Always let the lid cool before washing, as sudden temperature changes can break the glass.
• Do not place a cold lid from the refrigerator directly in a heated oven or on a hot pan. Allow the lid to reach room temperature prior to use.
IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE THE USE of a lid that has been damaged during transportation, accidentally dropped or shows signs of
damage or scratching.
Continuing to use a damaged tempered glass lid may cause shattering without warning, leading to possible injuries to users or bystanders.
Contact the manufacturer for replacement information.
CAUTION
• OVEN-SAFE UP TO 350°F (176°C)
• AVOID SUDDEN OR SEVERE TEMPERATURE CHANGES
• DO NOT IMMERSE HOT LID IN COLD WATER
• THERMAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE A TEMPERED GLASS LID TO SHATTER
• IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE OF DAMAGED LID
