Cleaning and caring for your non-stick-coated cookware

• Prior to first use, your cookware should be thoroughly cleaned and sterilised in boiling water. Dry, rub evenly with oil and heat briefly on the stove.
• Never use a knife to cut food inside your cookware, and do not use metal or sharp-edged utensils to stir.
• Cookware with plastic handles is not suitable for use in the oven.
• If your cookware has stainless steel handles, it is perfectly suited to use on gas stoves and in the oven.
• Never heat your cookware empty or with oil on a high heat for longer than 5 minutes. Overheating will damage the coating and cause it to lose its non-stick action. If you do overheat a pot, leave it on the stove with the heat turned off and allow it to cool.
• If the pot is regularly moved back and forth on a glass ceramic surface, traces of aluminium may rub off. Aluminium marks can be removed using Fissler glass ceramic care products.
• Never run cold water over a hot glass lid to cool it.
• To avoid the risk of burns caused by oil boiling over or spitting, always use a high-sided pot for deep-frying and never fill the pot more than half full with oil. Do not use a lid, and do not overheat (maximum oil temperature 200?C).
