Cuisinart CLASSIC 722-32HNSC Installation instructions

Use and Care
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart® Non-Stick Cookware on high heat. Food will burn. The aluminum encapsulated
base of this cookware is highly conductive and efficient for quick, even heat distribution. We
recommend using a low to medium setting for most cooking. To boil water, medium-high is sufficient.
Never leave Cuisinart® Non-Stick Cookware or any pan empty over a hot burner. Doing so can ruin the
pan and cause damage to the stovetop.
BEFORE USING
Wash your new cookware in hot water with a mild soap or dish detergent, or in a dishwasher, before
using for the first time. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel, or you may
place your Cuisinart® Non-Stick cookware in a dishwasher.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Immediately after each use, fill the pan with hot water and liquid dish detergent; let stand until
lukewarm. Use a sponge or soft cloth to remove any remaining food particles. Do not use steel wool or
other metal pads that make coarse scratches. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately for a flawless
finish. Cuisinart® Non-Stick Cookware features oven-safe handles that can withstand oven temperatures
up to 500°F (260°C). Caution should be used when handling any cookware handles and we recommend
the use of potholders.
WHAT ABOUT THE DISHWASHER?
Cuisinart® Non-Stick Cookware is dishwasher-safe, but remember that soil from other dishes may be
abrasive. If the dishwasher is carelessly packed, other dishes or flatware may mar the surface of the
cookware. Over a long period, regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any utensil. We
recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
PROPER COOKING UTENSILS
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils with your Cuisinart® Non-Stick Cookware. Refrain from
cutting foods or using sharp utensils such as forks, knives, mashers or whisks that can scratch the
cooking surface. Slight surface marks and abrasions are normal and will not affect the performance of
the Cuisinart® Non-Stick Cookware.
TO REMOVE STAINS
Calcium in your water may leave a multicoloured stain. This is from a harmless deposit and can be
removed with a little warm vinegar. Certain foods such as pasta or oatmeal may leave a light residue or
cloudy appearance. This can be easily removed with any of these cleaning products: Bon Ami®, Cameo®
Stainless Steel or Metal Cleaner, Nevr-Dull®.
TO REMOVE STUBBORN RESIDUE
When food is burned in the pan, a stubborn black residue may remain. If soaking does not loosen it, add
water to a depth of one inch in the pan, and then add a tablespoon (15 ml) of dishwasher detergent (a
non-lemon product). Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan, then
drain and rinse. Loosen the residue with a sponge or plastic spatula. Repeat if necessary.

CAUTION: Detergent fumes can be irritating. Carry out this procedure under a hood with an exhaust
fan or in a well ventilated room.
TO REMOVE BURNER STAINS
Stains on the outside bottom (not sides) of pans can be removed with an oven cleaner. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions and spray or brush the cleaner on only the outside bottom of the pan if the
directions call for using the cleaner in a warm oven, heat the pan before applying the cleaner. Rinse
thoroughly after cleaning.
COOKING OVER A GAS BURNER
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the flame touches only the pan bottom. If the flame
comes up the sides of the pan, energy is wasted and the sides of the pan may become permanently
discoloured.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Cuisinart® Non-Stick Cookware has exceptionally high thermoconductivity, and
even a low setting on some gas burners will overheat or even burn foods such as thinly sliced onions.
An inexpensive gas flame-tamer placed between the burner and the bottom of the pot solves this
problem. Flame-tamers are readily available at most hardware stores.
COOKING TEMPERATURE IN OVEN
Cuisinart® Non-Stick Cookware can be used in the oven without damage. Naturally, the handle as well as
the pan will become hot. Use potholders to prevent burns. The cookware can be used in the oven at any
baking temperature up to 500°F (260°C) and can go from burner to broiler to table when placed on a
heat-resistant trivet.
CONVENIENT STORAGE
A cookware rack or pegboard provides convenient, safe storage for your Cuisinart® Non-Stick Cookware.
Stacking and crowding in cabinets or drawers may cause scratches.
