WARNING

WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION

CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury.

\*\*\*WARNING\*\*\*

1. ⚠️ DANGER: Use extra caution when cooking with hot fat and never leave the pot or pan unattended on a hot stove. Extinguish burning fat with a fire blanket or fire extinguisher. Never throw water into burning fat as it will expand the fire.
2. ⚠️ WARNING: Avoid body contact with hot oil, water or foods as this may cause serious burns or scalding.
3. ⚠️ WARNING: Do not place extremely cold / frozen foods or liquids into a hot pan as it may result in excessive steam, spitting and spattering causing burns or scalding.
4. ⚠️ WARNING: Avoid touching the hot pots or pans without adequate protection, such as an oven mitt.
5. ⚠️ CAUTION: Overheating can damage the pots and pans. Never leave them unattended on the cooker; if smoke develops in the kitchen, ventilate thoroughly.
6. ⚠️ CAUTION: Never heat up pots and pans for a long time when empty and ensure that the liquid in the food does not evaporate completely, as this may damage the pots and pans or the hob.
7. ⚠️ CAUTION: Do not expose a hot pot or pan to cold water as this may cause warping and/or other damage.
8. ⚠️ CAUTION: Keep the pots and pans out of reach of children less than 8 years old.
9. ⚠️ CAUTION: Ensure the correct hob size is used for each pan.
10. ⚠️ CAUTION: Westinghouse non-stick cookware is not microwave safe.
11. Westinghouse non-stick cookware can be used with induction, halogen, ceramic, gas and electric cooktops.
12. Do not place hot pots or pans on dining tables, kitchen tops or other surfaces without the use of a wooden board, heat mat or trivet underneath for surface protection.
13. Wood, nylon and plastic utensils are recommended for avoidance of scratching of the pots and pans.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Remove any stickers before using the pots and pans for the first time.
2. Wash the pot or pan using hot water and mild detergent. Rinse with fresh water.
3. Briefly boil water in the pot/pan, rinse out and dry well. It is now ready for use.
4. Westinghouse non-stick cookware does not require seasoning.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOOD PREPARATION

1. The best cooking results are achieved at medium or low temperatures.
2. Use higher temperature setting only to heat up, turn down the heat in good time and finish cooking the food at medium heat.
3. Use lower temperature setting especially when cooking with little liquid or little fat.
4. When frying with fat always place the fat into the empty pot or pan before heating it up.
5. Turn up the heat to medium/medium-high temperature at most. Turn down the heat when the fat begins to smoke lightly. Then lay the food to be fried into the pot or pan.
6. Use butter for egg, fish, flour and potato dishes. Use oil and hard fat for meat (without breading) only.
7. Once a dish has cooked, remove the food from the pot.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ON INDUCTION HOBS

Induction is a very rapid heat source. Use caution and do not heat up pots and pans when empty as this may damage the pots and pans or the hob. At a high temperature setting there may be a humming sound. This occurs for technical reasons and does not indicate a fault on the cookware or the hob.

Pay attention to matching the diameter of the cookware base and the size of the hob. When the diameter is too small the magnetic field of the induction hob may not react to the pot or pan base and heating will not occur properly.

CLEANING & CARE

APPLICABLE HEATING DEVICES

Westinghouse non-stick cookware can be used with halogen, induction, ceramic, gas and electric cooktops. **They are not microwave safe**

USAGE

Medium and low heat settings will yield the best results for most types of cooking. Heating the cookware gradually will ensure even heat distribution. Do not use your Westinghouse cookware on high/max temperature settings as this will shorten the life of the non-stick coating.

**When using on gas hob, ensure the correct hob size is used as to not allow the flame to come into direct contact with the sides of the cookware. Direct contact with flame may result in discoloration or charring of the sides of your cookware**

DRY BOILING

Do not allow your cookware to boil dry as this may cause damage to the non-stick surface.

UTENSILS

Westinghouse non-stick cookware is suitable for use with wood, nylon and plastic utensils. Do not use steel utensils as they may scratch the non-stick surface. Scratching of the non-stick surface is not covered by warranty.

SURFACE PROTECTION

Do not place hot pots or pans on dining tables, kitchen tops or other surfaces without the use of a wooden board, heat mat or trivet.

AFTER USE

Allow the cookware to cool thoroughly after using. Exposing your cookware to water whilst still hot may cause warping and damage to the cookware.

CLEANING AND CARE

Once cooled, filling the cookware with water and allowing it to soak will assist in the removal of tough baked on particles. When washing, non-abrasive cloths and plastic bristle kitchen brushes may be used to remove stubborn food particles from your cookware. Do not use abrasive cloths and cleaning materials as they may damage the non-stick surface.

CLEANING & CARE

DISHWASHER USE

Westinghouse non-stick cookware is not suitable for dishwasher use. Please hand wash only.

STORAGE

Ensure cookware is dried thoroughly and stored in a dry place away from steam and humidity where possible.
