USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
QUICK START TIPS
• Remove all labels and packaging materials.
• Wash cookware in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry using a soft cloth or paper towel.
• For cookware with a non-stick interior, it is recommended to “season” the pan prior to rst use. (Ceramic cookware should NOT be
seasoned.) Wash the cookware thoroughly and dry. Heat each pan on low for 30 seconds, remove from heat and put one tablespoon
of vegetable oil in each pan. Rub the oil over the entire surface with a paper towel. Repeat after every 10 dishwasher cycles or if
accidental overheating occurs.
NOTE: Some cookware is shipped with a protective plastic piece located at the base of the handle. Please discard before use, as
failure to remove this piece could create a re hazard.
GENERAL COOKING TIPS
• Never leave cookware unattended while cooking.
• Use low to medium heat with your T-fal cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat extremely quickly and evenly. High heat may
damage your T-fal non-stick cookware, and this type of damage is not covered under the warranty.
• Never let cookware boil dry or leave an empty piece of cookware on a heated burner.
• Select the proper burner size so that the heat touches only the bottom of the cookware and does not climb up the side walls.
• Do not use pans to ambé.
• Let pans cool before cleaning to prevent warping caused by extreme temperature shocks. Avoid any extreme temperature changes.
• Do not slide or drag cookware across the stove top, as this may cause damage to both the cookware and the stove top.
HELPFUL HINTS ON LID USE
• When removing lids during cooking, tilt lid to direct steam away from you and keep hands and face away from steam vents.
• Do not use glass lids that have cracks, chips or scratches and do not attempt to make repairs to damaged cookware. Using damaged
lids or cookware could lead to explosions or injuries to users or bystanders.
• Do not place hot glass lids under cold water, as the temperature change can break the glass. This is not covered under the warranty.
• Tempered glass lids are oven safe to 350°F/175°C.
• When leaving a covered pan on the burner after the heat is turned down, be sure to leave the cover ajar or the steam vent open
or else a vacuum seal may form. If a vacuum seal does form, do not attempt to remove the cover from the pan, and call the T-fal
Consumer Relations Helpline.
HANDLES AND KNOBS
• Handles and knobs can get very hot under certain conditions. Always have pot holders available for use.
• When cooking, make sure handles are not positioned over other hot burners.
• Some handles and knobs that are attached with screws may loosen over time. If this occurs, they should be retightened. Do not
overtighten, as this could result in damage to the lid or knob. If the screw cannot be tightened or handles are riveted or welded, call
the T-fal Consumer Relations Helpline for assistance.
• Oven safe to 500°F/260°C if handles are all stainless steel. Oven safe to 350°F/175°C if handles have any phenolic, plastic parts.
Oven safe to 400°F/204°C if handles have any silicone parts.
COOKING WITH T-FAL ON A STOVE TOP
T-fal NON-STICK, INCLUDING TITANIUM, PROGLIDE, EASY,
PROMETAL AND EXPERT NON-STICK COOKWARE
T-fal is a pioneer and innovator in the world of non-stick cookware. If properly maintained, T-fal’s unique non-stick nish 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.
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the world of T-fal® cookware! T-fal
cookware is designed to provide many years of cooking enjoyment, superior performance
and maintenance-free service.
