Before first use, remove the sticker attached to the inside of the pan by heating the pan slightly to loosen it. Wash the pan with water and dishwashing detergent and then dry immediately—never leave the pan to air dry. When cooking, avoid striking the pan with kitchen utensils. Never heat the pans when empty. Always avoid overheating the pans by heating slowly and checking the heat constantly. Enamelled pans are oven safe. Do not use in a microwave oven. Stainless steel or wooden utensils can be used when cooking with the pan, but avoid striking the pan with them. Avoid temperature shocks, as they may damage the enamelling. The enamelling makes the pan easy to clean, but it not a non-stick coating. To remove residues of food, we recommend leaving the pan to soak in hot water with dishwashing detergent for an hour at most and, if necessary, scrub with a non-abrasive sponge. Wash the pan and then dry thoroughly—never leave the pan to air dry. Only use non-abrasive sponges and non-aggressive detergents so as not to damage the enamelling. Given the high temperatures reached by the pans, never leave the pan unattended on the cooktop or without the supervision of an adult. Keep out of reach of children.
