General Safety Guide

• Do not allow children near the stove while you are cooking.
  Be cautious around the stove as heat, steam, splatter, and hot surfaces can cause burns.
• Fumes from everyday cooking can be harmful to your birds and small pets.
  This is particularly true for smoke from burning foods. Overheating cooking sprays, oils, fats, margarine, and butter can create dangerous fumes harmful to birds' respiratory systems.
• Never allow cookware to boil dry or leave an empty pan on a hot burner.
  An unattended, empty cookware on a hot burner can get extremely hot, causing personal injury and/or property damage.
• Use burners that match the size of your cookware.
  When cooking over a gas burner, adjust the gas flame so it does not rise up the sides of the cookware. Duxtop cookware is compatible with all Duxtop induction cooktops.
• Never use metal cookware in the microwave.
  Duxtop cookware and other types of metal cookware are not microwave-safe.
• Position cookware handles carefully.
  Ensure handles do not extend beyond the stove’s edge, where they can be knocked off, or over other hot burners, as they may become hot.
• Handles and lid grips can get hot.
  Use caution when touching them, and always have potholders available for use.
• Be cautious when removing lids or using steam-vented lids.
  Position lids so steam is directed away from you. Always use a potholder when adjusting lids with steam vents, as rising steam can cause burns.
• Allow cookware to cool before cleaning.
  Never put hot cookware or glass lids under cold water. Sudden changes in temperature may warp metal and damage the non-stick coating.
• Avoid storing food in non-stick cookware for extended periods.
  This may damage the non-stick coating.

General Care Suggestions

• Season the cookware before first use.
  It is recommended to season the inside of pots and pans with a little cooking oil before using them for the first time.
• Always allow cookware to cool down before cleaning.
• Thoroughly clean cookware after every use.
  Clean inside and outside to remove all residues and prevent grease buildup and discoloration.
• Use wooden, plastic, silicone, or nylon utensils with non-stick cookware.
  Metal utensils could scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
• Duxtop cookware is dishwasher safe.
  However, over time, harsh dishwasher detergents may dull the stainless steel exterior, which is not covered under warranty. Hand washing with a sponge or soft cloth is recommended.
• Avoid using metal scouring pads, abrasives, or solvents.
  These can damage the cookware.
• Do not allow cookware to boil dry or use on high heat.
  The impact-bonded tri-ply bottom is highly conductive, allowing for quick, even heat distribution. Use low to medium heat settings for most cooking.
• Avoid sliding cookware over glass stovetops.
  Sliding or dragging cookware over the surface of the stovetop may cause scratches, which are not covered under warranty.
• Always use potholders when removing cookware from the oven.
• To prevent scratches or chips, store cookware properly.
  Place paper towels between cookware when storing to avoid scratches or chips.
• Avoid using lids without steam vents, as this may cause a vacuum.
  If a lid vacuum occurs, do not force it off. Turn the heat on for a few moments, and the lid will come off easily.
• Duxtop cookware is oven safe to 550°F, while glass lids are safe to 400°F.

Warning

• Cookware with non-stick ceramic coating
  Safe for use with nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils. Metal utensils could scratch or damage the non-stick coating. Scratches from metal utensil use are not covered under warranty.
• Never rinse with cold water when the pan is still hot.
