Use and Care Manual

Cooking (cont.)
NEVER USE A PAN THAT HAS BOILED DRY. Damage to the pan may not be seen
immediately, but could cause damage to your stove or countertop the next time it
is used.
• Range Kleen cookware uses a mix of metals . . . Stainless steel because it is
non-reactive to food and is easily cleaned and an aluminum core in the
encapsulated bottom for rapid heat and even heat distribution.
• Utensils - It is recommended that wooden, silicone, plastic coated or metal
utensils can be used in your stainless steel cookware. DO NOT use electric
mixers in your stainless steel cookware. Wooden, silicone, or plastic coated
utensils are recommended for cookware with nonstick coatings. Minor
marring will occur on the nonstick surface with use, this is normal
and will not affect the nonstick coating. DO NOT use sharp edges in your
nonstick cookware such as forks, knives or metal spatula
• Oven use up to 450˚F. DO NOT USE UNDER THE BROILER. Glass lids are not
designed for oven use.
• To avoid pitting of the stainless steel, we recommend that you do not add salt to
the pan until after your liquid has come to a complete boil, or after food has
begun cooking.
• NEVER add cold water to a hot pan. This can warp your stainless steel
cookware.
• Glass lids are made of tempered glass. Avoid thermal shock. DO NOT place hot
lids in cold water. If you notice any fracture in the lid glass, do not continue
using.

Caring For Your Nonstick Pieces
loosen any food particles that remain. DO NOT ALLOW PAN TO BOIL DRY.
DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED. Turn burner off and allow pan and water to cool
completely before removing from stove top. Once water and pan have cooled,
remove pan to sink and dispose of water/baking soda mixture. Wash in warm,
soapy water, scrubbing the nonstick surface with the soft nylon brush or nylon
scrubber to remove any possible grease or food particles. Rinse in warm water
and dry.
• If, after time, you notice that your nonstick coating is not releasing as well as
when you first purchased the pan, heat the pan on medium heat for 2 minutes.
DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED. Remove from burner and rub vegetable oil on the
nonstick coating with a towel. Allow pan to cool completely and then wipe any
residual oil. Repeat this process as necessary to re-season your nonstick coating.
