CERALON One Coat

Important safety instructions

• Make sure that the pans are never unattended or used near children.
• Do not let the pan stand on a hot stove for longer than necessary.
• To avoid injury, always be careful with handling hot pans.
• Make sure that handles are never positioned above heated hotplates.
• The Ceralon ^® coating is PTFE, PFOA and fluorine-free.

Notes on use

• Before first use, remove all packaging and labels, and clean pan with dishwashing detergent and hot water.
• Boil the pans 2-3 times with water to remove any production residues and contaminants
• Rub the inside of the pan with a little oil upon first use. This procedure should be repeated from time to time.
• Save energy and make sure that the pan is the same size or bigger than, but never smaller than, the cooking surface. When using a gas oven, adjust the flame as such that it does not flare over the side edges of the pan.
• The pan should by used to heat food without the use of either oil or fat.
• The ceramic non-stick coating is very temperature-resistant. However, overheating the pan is not recommended.
• The ceramic coatings heat up within a very short time, and can therefore never be left on the stove unattended.
• Never overheat. Temperatures above 250°C should be avoided; this can be prevented by using some oil as a heat indicator, as oil begins to smoke at temperatures greater than 250°C.
• Overheating should be avoided at all costs, as food can burn onto the (heat-resistant) ceramic coating and black deposits may remain on the coating.
• For frying, we recommend medium temperature level and the use of some oil or cooking fat
• Do not allow oil to burn in the pan.
• Never cut up food in the pan, using sharp, hard objects.
• Use only nylon or wooden utensils.
• Always use a clean pan when you begin cooking. Make sure that all cooking residues are removed before storing the pan.

Cleaning and care

• Always cool the pan before cleaning, as large heat variations can cause permanent deformation.
• For cleaning, use hot water and a non-abrasive sponge or soft nylon brush (do not use steel wool or scouring pads!)
• Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents to remove grease and food residue from the non-stick coating inside the pan.
• Should dark deposits form on the coating due to high temperatures, do not remove them with a scouring pad or sharp-edged objects, but rather soak the pan in hot water and remove the deposits carefully and gently with a soft nylon brush or a soft cloth.
• Food residues that are not removed can, with further use, lead to discolourations of varying severity, which can have a negative effect on the non-stick surface. Therefore, the surface should always be cleaned very carefully.
• Slight discolouration and stains are normal and are easier to see against bright coatings than on dark or black surfaces.
• Cleaning in a dishwasher may lead to a reduction in the non-stick properties caused to aggressive detergents, and so we recommend hand washing.
