When cleaning glass lids, do not use metal scouring pads or harsh abrasives, as they may scratch and weaken the glass.
Dishwashing: T-fal cookware can be cleaned in a dishwasher, but be advised that hard enamel, brushed aluminum and
stainless steel EXTERIOR nishes may discolor and become dull due to the abrasive nature of dishwasher detergents.
These effects are not covered under the warranty.
When placing non-stick cookware in the dishwasher, position the items vertically between the spikes of the dishwasher
rack to minimize friction between the non-stick surface and the spikes during the washing cycle. It is recommended to
re-season non-stick pans with cooking oil after every 10 dishwashing cycles.
T-fal STAINLESS STEEL COOKWARE
Immerse in hot water. Use a ne powder cleanser with water to form a paste. Apply paste using a soft cloth. Rub in a
circular motion from the center outward. Wash in hot soapy water, dry immediately. For T-fal Stainless Steel Cookware
with a copper band or bottom use any over-the-counter copper cleaner to restore it to its natural luster. DO NOT USE
oven cleaners or cleansers with chlorine bleach. DO NOT USE steel wool, steel scouring pads or harsh detergents. Nylon
scrubbing pads are safe to use. Be advised that Stainless Steel EXTERIOR nishes may discolor and become dull due to
the abrasive nature of dishwasher detergents. These effects are not covered under warranty.
With Stainless Steel cookware, blue or yellow discoloration may appear over time. This is a natural occurrence that may
result from overheating and does not indicate any problem with the cookware. The discoloration can be removed with a
special cleaner for stainless steel cookware, or by adding lemon juice or vinegar to your regular cleaning solution.
T-fal HARD ENAMEL COOKWARE
Be advised that Hard Enamel EXTERIOR nishes may discolor and become dull due to the abrasive nature of dishwasher
detergents. These effects are not covered under warranty.
T-fal COOKWARE WITH POLISHED OR BRUSHED ALUMINUM EXTERIORS
To avoid discoloration, T-fal cookware with polished aluminum or brushed aluminum exteriors should not be cleaned in the
dishwasher.
T-fal HARD ANODIZED COOKWARE
T-fal cookware with hard anodized exterior is not dishwasher safe.
T-fal CERAMIC COOKWARE

• For best results, use only those products which clearly state “safe for cleaning nonstick surfaces.”
• Oven safe to 500ºF if handles are all stainless steel. Oven safe to 350°F/175°C if handles have any phenolic, plastic
parts. Oven safe to 450°F/230°C if handles have any silicone parts.
• Expert tip: Ceramic coating is easy to clean and offers strong release. However, you may want to add butter or oils to
enhance performance and avor. Cooking sprays are also safe. Minor surface marring, scratches, or chipping is normal
and will not affect the performance of the coating. Handle the cookware gently to avoid chipping the ceramic surface.
GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Keep children away from the stove while you are cooking. Be careful around the stove, as heat, steam and splatter can
cause injury.
• Do not touch cookware with a wet cloth or potholder or put it on a wet surface. Hot cookware should be placed on heat-
resistant surfaces only.
• Do not add cold water, ice or fully frozen food items directly to a hot pan, as a steam eruption could occur that could
cause burns or other injury to users or bystanders. Be especially cautious in this regard when the pan contains hot oils
used during cooking, as steam eruptions are possible when elements containing water are brought into contact with hot
oil.
• When boiling water, add salt to water only after it has come to a boil to keep salt grains from damaging the steel
components of the cookware.
• Do not combine cookware to make a double boiler. These pieces are not designed for that purpose, and such use could
result in steam-related burns or other injury to users or bystanders.
• T-fal cookware cannot be used in a microwave, under a broiler, over a campre or on any type of grill, and should not be
placed in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
• T-fal cookware is compatible with gas, spiral or solid electric, ceramic (radiant) and halogen rangetops. See packaging
for further details. T-fal stainless steel products are suitable for use on all types of rangetops, including induction.
