California residents need only supply proof of purchase and
should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping instructions. California
law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents
have the option of returning a nonconforming product (a) to the
store where it was purchased or (b) to another retail store that
then, according to its preference, either repair the product, refer
the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product,
or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable
to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If the above two
options do not result in the appropriate relief to the consumer,
the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair
facility if service or repair can be economically accomplished.

reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement or refund for
nonconforming products under warranty.

Before First Use
Remove all labels and hang tags. Wash cookware with a mild dish
soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately
Pans with nonstick surfaces should be wiped with cooking oil
to condition them.
Stovetop Use
Cookware is suitable for all range tops: gas, electric, ceramic or
induction. Always use a low-medium heat setting. To boil water,
surfaces must be treated and are not suitable for dry cooking: select
either oil, butter or a cooking spray to use and completely cover
the pan’s inside base before heating begins. Nonstick surfaces can
be used dry, but pay careful attention not to overheat any surface.
Always use potholders to grip side handles or cover knobs, as they
will become hot. Never leave pans unattended at any time while
cooking. Never leave an empty pan over a hot burner; doing so
could ruin the cookware and cause damage to the stovetop.
Oven Use
Pans are oven safe to 500°F. Caution should be used when
handling any cookware handles. Always use potholders to grip
side handles or cover knobs, as they will become hot.
Serving
Place hot pans on trivet or wooden board when serving. Never
place a hot pan directly on an unprotected surface.
Cooking Utensils
To protect and preserve the surface of the pans, use only wooden,
plastic or heat-resistant nylon kitchen tools to avoid scratching
the enamel interior. We do not recommend using metal utensils,
as they may scratch pan’s
surface (but will not impair its
performance). Do not cut food directly in the cookware. You may
use hand blenders or mixers directly in the cookware; this may

to remove any remaining food particles. Do not use steel wool or
other metal pads that make coarse scratches. Rinse thoroughly
and dry immediately. If preferred, cookware may be cleaned
in the dishwasher. Scrub pan edges gently to clean if there is any
discoloration or residue. To remove tough stains, cleaning products
such as Bon Ami® or a little warm vinegar may be used. Cover
knobs may become loose over a period of time. We recommend
checking them occasionally and tightening knobs
as needed.
Storage
Do not store pans when they are still damp and always store
carefully in a dry cupboard area. Avoid stacking and overcrowding
when storing cookware to prevent scratching and chipping of cast
iron surface.
