Danger of injury!

Please note that the handles may become hot during cooking. For your safety, use a potholder or barbecue gloves.

Danger of damage to property!

Pots in which fat is being heated up must never be left unattended. Fat can very quickly overheat and ignite. Never try to extinguish a fat fire with water. Cover the flames with a pot / pan lid or a thick cloth.
■ Never add salt or brine into the empty preheated product as this could lead to corrosion. However, a reduction in product performance is not likely.
- Do not place meat which is still dripping with liquid into hot fat. The fat splattering out on to a hot hob could easily cause a fire.
- Save energy! To avoid heat loss, choose a hotplate with a diameter that matches the diameter of the pot. Effective bottom diameter: approx. 18 cm
Do not move the cookware back and forth on glass-ceramic hobs! We recommend before cooking to wipe briefly the surface of the hob and the cookware bottom with a clean, lint-free cloth (e.g. microfiber) to reduce the risk of scratches.
■ Never hold the hot product under cold running water. The underside of the product may be damaged or fall off.
FOOD-SAFE! This product has no adverse effect on taste or smell.
- Do not use the product if the handles are loose.
