Westinghouse Non-Stick Cookware User Guide
Use and Care
BEFORE FIRST USE
- Remove all packaging materials.
- Wash your cookware in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
COOKING
- Westinghouse non-stick cookware is suitable for use on gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, and induction stovetops.
- Do not use it in the microwave/oven.
- Do not pre-heat nonstick cookware. Use low to medium heat for best cooking results. High heat may damage your cookware.
- Always use a heat source smaller than the diameter of the cookware base.
- Never let cookware boil dry or leave an empty cookware item on a hot burner or element.
- On glass or ceramic stove tops, lift cookware; never slide it.
- Use of nylon, silicone or wooden utensils are recommended.
- Never cut food inside the cookware
- Do not use non-stick cooking sprays on non-stick cookware. These sprays can impair the nonstick release system, actually causing food to adhere to the surface.
- Use potholders or oven mitts when holding hot cookware.
- Avoid overheating the cookware.
CLEANING
- Do not immerse the hot cookware in cold water after cooking. Always wait for the cookware to cool before cleaning.
- Do not use oven cleaners, harsh detergents, chlorine bleach, steel wool or other abrasive cleaning pads.
- Always dry your cookware thoroughly.
- The cookware is dishwasher safe. However, it is recommended to hand-wash in warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or dish cloth. If you do wash in the dishwasher, wash on a mild cycle with mild detergent. Repeated dishwasher cleaning and dishwasher detergent may cause oxidation to the base areas over time, but this will not affect the performance of the cookware.
- Do not use metal utensils and sharp abrasives when cleaning the glass lid, as this may scratch the glass and cause it to weaken.
