IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Keep small children away from the stove while you are
cooking.
Be careful around the stove as heat, steam and splatter
can cause burns.
Never allow the cookware to boil dry or leave it empty on
a hot burner. An unattended, empty pan on a hot burner
will get extremely hot, which can cause personal injury or
property damage.
The enamel interior is not suitable for dry cooking; liquid,
oil, fat or butter must completely cover the interior pan
base before cooking begins.
This cookware can be used with induction cooking elements.
Excessive heat may discolor the pan.
USE & CARE
Before first use: Wash the pan and lid thoroughly with mild
dishwashing detergent and warm water. This will remove any
manufacturing oils that may still be on the metal.
Oven Use: Always use potholders when removing cookware
from the oven. This enamel cast iron cookware is oven safe up
to 500°F.
Stovetop: Match pan size to burner size. Use burners that are
the same size as the pan you are using. Adjust gas flame so
that it does not extend up the sides of the pan. Position pans
so that handles are not over other hot burners. Do not allow
handles to extend beyond the edge of the stove where pans
can be knocked off.
Microwaves: Never use this cookware in a microwave oven.
Utensils: This cookware is wood, plastic or nylon tool safe.
Steam: When removing lids or cooking with lids, always
position the lid so that the steam is directed away from you.
Always use a potholder when adjusting lids. Rising steam can
cause burns.
Sliding Pans: Avoid sliding or dragging cookware over the
cooktop surface, especially glass top ranges, as scratches to
the cooktop surface may result. When using cookware on
glass or ceramic stovetops, always follow the manufacturer’s
guidance for cookware use. It is important to lift the cookware
above the surface when moving it. Do not slide it across the
glass or bang it down; both actions may damage the glass.
Temperature Extremes: To minimize sudden changes in
temperature that can cause cookware to warp, always heat
gradually and never pour cold liquid into a hot pan. Enamel
cast iron cookware must be heated progressively to avoid
thermal shock and possible damage.
Lid Vacuum: A lid left on a pan after turning heat down or off
may result in a vacuum that causes the lid to seal to the pan.
Using a lid made for another pan can also cause a lid
vacuum. If a lid vacuum occurs, DO NOT attempt to remove
the lid from the pan in any way until the pan is completely
cooled. To avoid a seal, remove the lid and set it ajar before
turning heat off.
Hot Handles and Knobs: Handles can get very hot under some
conditions. Use caution when touching them and always have
potholders available for use.
Loose Handles: Periodically, check handles and knobs to be
sure they are not loose.
