Use & Care InstrUCtIons
QUICK START TIPS
Remove all labels and packaging materials.
Wash cookware in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry using a soft cloth or paper towel.
For cookware with a non-stick interior, it is recommended to “season” the pan prior to rst use. Wash the cookware
thoroughly and dry. Heat each pan on low for 30 seconds, remove from heat and put one tablespoon of vegetable
oil in each pan. Rub the oil over the entire surface with a paper towel. Repeat after every 10 dishwasher cycles or if
accidental overheating occurs.
NOTE: Some cookware is shipped with a protective plastic piece located at the base of the handle. Please discard before
use, as failure to remove this piece could create a re hazard.
GENERAL COOKING TIPS
Never leave cookware unattended while cooking.
Use only low to medium heat with your T-fal cookware at all times (including boiling water). Aluminum cookware
conducts heat extremely quickly and evenly. High heat may damage your T-fal non-stick cookware, and this type of
damage is not covered under the warranty.
Never let cookware boil dry or leave an empty piece of cookware on a heated burner.
Select the proper burner size so that the heat touches only the bottom of the cookware and does not climb up the side
walls.
Do not use pans to ambé.
Let pans cool before cleaning to prevent warping caused by extreme temperature shocks. Avoid any extreme
temperature changes.
Do not slide or drag cookware across the stove top, as this may cause damage to both the cookware and the stove top.
HELPFUL HINTS ON LID USE
When removing lids during cooking, tilt lid to direct steam away from you and keep hands and face away from steam
vents.
Do not use glass lids that have cracks, chips or scratches and do not attempt to make repairs to damaged cookware.
Using damaged lids or cookware could lead to explosions or injuries to users or bystanders.
Do not place hot glass lids under cold water, as the temperature change can break the glass. This is not covered under
the warranty.
Tempered glass lids are oven safe to 350°F/175°C.
When leaving a covered pan on the burner after the heat is turned down, be sure to leave the cover ajar or the steam
vent open or else a vacuum seal may form. If a vacuum seal does form, do not attempt to remove the cover from the
pan, and call the T-fal Consumer Relations Helpline.
HANDLES AND KNOBS
Handles and knobs can get very hot under certain conditions. Always have pot holders available for use.
When cooking, make sure handles are not positioned over other hot burners.
Some handles and knobs that are attached with screws may loosen over time. If this occurs, they should be retightened.
Do not overtighten, as this could result in damage to the lid or knob. If the screw cannot be tightened or handles are
riveted or welded, call the T-fal Consumer Relations Helpline for assistance.
