Use and Care Manual

COOKING:
█
For SAFETY, keep children away from hot cookware
and stove tops.
█
Never leave an empty pot/pan on the cook top, and
never let it boil dry. This can quickly lead to irreversible
damage to the base of the pot/pan or personal injury.
█
For best heating performance, match up the burner
size to that of the base of the pot/pan.
█
When adjusting the burner ame, be sure not to
let the ame extend along the walls of your pot/pan.
█
Never place your cookware in the microwave
or broiler.
█
Oven safe up to 300˚F / 150˚C.
NONSTICK COATING:
█
Ballarini nonstick coatings are safe to use with
metal utensils, although we recommend the use
of wood, plastic or silicone utensils to prolong the
life of your coating.
█
We do not recommend the use of nonstick sprays.
The thin layer of oil that is applied from these sprays
can burn at a very low temperature, which creates
a residue that can diminish the nonstick properties.
Instead, we always recommend using a little fat while
cooking, like butter or cooking oil.
█
Low to medium heat is recommended to prolong
the life of your nonstick coating.
SAFETY USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for choosing Ballarini nonstick cookware.
Before using your product, be sure to read this
information to assure you get the best performance
from your cookware.
BEFORE FIRST USE:
█
Remove all packaging materials, labels and stickers.
█
Wash product with warm water and dish soap.
HANDLES:
█
Never let the handles of your cookware extend over
the cooking area.
█
With regular usage, handles can become loose.
They can be easily screwed back with a screwdriver.
Never use a pot/pan with a loose handle.
█
Always use protective oven mitts when handling
hot cookware.
LIDS:
█
Always use oven mitts when removing a hot lid.
█
When removing the lid, be sure to angle the lid to
direct the steam away from you.
█
Never place a lid on a hot burner. This could damage,
discolor or crack the lid.
█
Never use a glass lid that is cracked or has scratch-
es. These can break or shatter at random.
█
Refrain from lowering or turning o the heat when lid
is on the pot/pan. This may result in a vacuum that can
cause the lid to stick.
THERMOPOINT TECHNOLOGY:
█
During the heating phase, the Thermopoint device is
not a signal of safety when it is green. Be sure to use
protective oven mitts, as the pan may still be hot.
█
To maximize the lifespan of the nonstick properties,
reduce the heat to low once the Thermopoint device
signals that the pan is ready for cooking (when device
turns red).
█
Do not expose Thermopoint device directly to the
ame, excessive heat, sunlight or neon-lights.
█
Do not rub scouring powder, steel wool, solvents or
bleach/acids on the Thermopoint device.
█
It is normal for the Thermopoint device to slightly
change color or fade over time. This does not aect
the performance or usability of the pan.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE TIPS:
█
Always leave a pot/pan to cool down before cleaning
it. The extreme dierence in temperature between the
hot pot/pan and colder water may cause permanent
deformation. Once the Thermopoint device turns
green, the pan is safe to immerse in water.
