Use and maintenance
When using for the first time, remove all packaging and wash with soapy water. Boil some
water in the cookware and then dry it. Grease with edible oil or fat. It is not necessary to
use oils or fats for cooking when using non-stick aluminium cookware. Do not use cooking
oil sprays as they may leave residues that can alter the non-stick properties. Use a heat
source that is suitable for the size of the bottom of the cookware. Centre the cookware
on a medium flame. Do not allow fatty foods to burn. Do not use sharp metal utensils and
do not cut food inside the cookware to avoid causing permanent damage to the non-
stick layer. Use wooden, plastic or silicone kitchen utensils. Store the cookware carefully in
order to protect the non-stick coating. Make sure the knob is tight before use and check it
periodically as it may work loose over time.
Lid
Lift the lid so that you are not exposed to escaping steam or splashes of oil. Be careful
when positioning the steam vent in order to prevent scalding. It is recommended to place
the steam vent away from the side used for handling the cookware. If the glass has been
subject to an impact shock, it may be damaged and break during cooking. Take particular
care when using and storing glass lids. Avoid rapid cooling using cold water. Do not use if
the lid is cracked or scratched as it may break suddenly during use. The lid is fitted with a
metal knob. Oven gloves should therefore be worn when handling it. The products and lids
can be used in the oven up to 250°C/480F°. They are fitted with steel handles and knobs.
Oven gloves must therefore be worn when handling them.
Cleaning
We recommend that you hand wash the cookware using a sponge (non-abrasive/non-
metallic) and liquid detergent. Do not use powders or oven cleaning products. If you do use
a dishwasher, we suggest that you do not use harsh detergents and that you use Eco low-
temperature cycles. Using a dishwasher does not affect the performance of the cookware,
but it may alter its original colour. Using the dishwasher with softened water could speed
up the corrosion / deterioration of uncoated aluminium components. The use of oils or
fats, together with high temperatures, can cause visible stains to appear, especially on
light-coloured coatings. If the steel parts yellow over time or they are exposed to high
temperatures, for example in the oven, it is recommended that you use specific creams
for cleaning steel. For safety and for best results, we recommend using the Smeg CREMA
INOX polishing cream. Contact an authorized service centre to find out if it is available in
your country.
Caution
Do not overheat the cookware when empty. If this happens, remove the cookware and air
the room. Never leave food that is being cooked unattended. Do not allow food to dry
out completely. Keep hot cookware out of the reach of children. Allow the cookware to
cool before cleaning. When using cookware on glass ceramic hobs (resistance, induction
or halogen), make sure that the base of the cookware and the glass ceramic surface are
clean as residues of dirt could scratch the surface of the hobs. Do not slide the cookware
across the hob; lift it to avoid scratching the hob. When using the cookware for frying, make
sure that it is cold and dry and not close to sources of water before pouring in the oil. Fill
