POLARIZED PLUG:
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm, do not use that outlet.

NOTE:
This product features a special “quick release” magnetic detachable cord. For increased safety and injury prevention, the cord is designed to detach from the heating element when accidentally tripped over or pulled on.

• Before each use, ensure the handles are securely attached.
• Store the product in a cool, dry place.

MAINTENANCE

• Before each use, ensure the knob is securely attached and retightened as necessary.
• Store the product in a cool, dry place.
• For better non-stick performance, it is recommended to add a teaspoon of cooking oil before each use.
• Never heat an empty utensil. Be sure there is oil, butter, liquid, or food before placing the cookware on the range or burner.
• Cooking on excessive heat can cause warping of the cookware and permanent damage to the non-stick coating.
• Never cut anything in the cookware or use utensils with sharp edges to avoid piercing the non-stick surface.
• Add salt to water only after it has come to a boil. Salt grain deposit on the cookware bottom will attack the metal as the heat melts it down.
• Never use metal scouring pads to clean the non-stick surface.
• Never put cold water into a hot utensil. Sudden temperature changes may cause the metal to warp, resulting in an uneven bottom. Let cookware cool down on its own or place it in lukewarm soapy water.
• The exterior may become dull and discolored due to the action of certain detergents. Our warranty does not cover this type of wear, as the performance of the pan is not affected.
