will provide years of great cooking performance and easy cleaning. Preventing damage to the non-stick nish will help
to maximize product performance. By following these care instructions, you can protect and get the most out of your
investment in T-fal cookware.
• NEVER cut food directly in the pan or gouge the non-stick surface in any way.
• With use, the non-stick surface may become slightly darker. This will not impair its performance. Slight surface marks or
abrasions are normal and will NOT affect the performance of the non-stick coating.
• Non-stick cooking sprays are not necessary with non-stick cookware. The use of such sprays may create an invisible
buildup on the surface of the pan that will affect the pan’s non-stick properties.
• If your T-fal product includes Thermo-Spot, this unique heat indicator will show when the pan
is perfectly preheated to seal in the avor of your food. When the design changes to a solid
red “spot,” the pan is preheated to optimal temperature. Thermo-Spot is built into the non-stick
surface of your pan, requires no special maintenance and should be treated just like the
other non-stick surfaces on the pan. With normal use, Thermo-Spot will not wear off or lose
effectiveness over time.
T-fal STAINLESS STEEL COOKWARE
• Low to medium heat offers best cooking performance
• Use high heat only for boiling or reducing liquids

CAUTION: Cooking at ultra high settings can cause emission of fumes from the non-stick interior that could be dangerous

CLEANING
T-fal NON-STICK COOKWARE
Hand-washing is recommended.
Hand-washing: Always wait for your cookware to cool before cleaning. T-fal cookware is easy to clean in warm, soapy
water using a cloth or sponge. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads such as steel wool, scouring powder or oven
cleaner. Stubborn spots can be removed with cleaners that specify “safe for non-stick surfaces.”
