PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using your 9-Piece
Ceramic Cookware Set, especially when children are present.
1. Never leave cookware unattended while cooking.
2. Use only low to medium heat with your cookware set at all times (including
boiling water). High heat may damage your ceramic cookware, and this type of
damage is not covered under the warranty.
3. Never let cookware boil dry or leave an empty piece of cookware on a heated
burner.
4. Select the proper burner size so that the heat touches only the bottom of the
cookware and does not climb up the side walls.
5. On gas ranges, adjust the flame so that it contacts only the bottom of the pan
and does not jump up the sides of the pot.
6. Do NOT use cookware to flambé.
7. Avoid any extreme temperature changes. Let pans cool before cleaning to
prevent warping caused by extreme temperature shocks.
8. Do NOT slide or drag cookware across the stovetop, as this may cause damage
to both the cookware and the stovetop.
9. When removing lids during cooking, tilt lid to direct steam away from you, and
keep hands and face away from steam vents.
10. Do NOT use glass lids that have cracks, chips or scratches and do not attempt
to make repairs to damaged cookware. Using damaged lids or cookware could
lead to explosions or injuries to users or bystanders.
11. Do NOT place hot glass lids under cold water, as the temperature change can
break the glass. This is not covered under the warranty.
12. When leaving a covered pan on the burner after the heat is turned down, be sure
to leave the cover ajar or the steam vent open, or else a vacuum seal may form.
If a vacuum seal does form, do not attempt to remove the cover from the pan.
13. The handles and knobs can get very hot under certain conditions. As a general
precaution, we recommend the use of a pot holder for all cookware.
14. When cooking, make sure handles are not positioned over other hot burners.
15. Some handles and knobs that are attached with screws may loosen over time. If
this occurs, they should be retightened. Do NOT overtighten, as this could result
in damage to the lid or knob. If the screw cannot be tightened, or if the handles
are riveted or welded, call our toll-free Customer Service for assistance.
16. Keep children away from the stove while you are cooking. Be careful around the
stove, as heat, steam and splatter can cause injury.
17. Do NOT touch hot cookware with a wet cloth or pot holder, or put it on a wet
surface. Hot cookware should be placed on heat-resistant surfaces only.

Cleaning & Care
Parts & Features
Using Your Cookware
If properly maintained, the ceramic finish will provide years of great cooking per-
formance and easy cleaning. Preventing damage to the ceramic finish will help to
maximize product performance. By following these care instructions, you can protect
and get the most out of your investment in our cookware.
1. Never cut food directly in the pan or gouge the ceramic surface in any way.
2. Avoid overexposure to food high in salt, as it can cause the coating to come off.
3. With use, the ceramic surface may become slightly darker. This will not impair its
performance. Slight surface marks or abrasions are normal and will not affect the
performance of the ceramic coating.
4. Cooking sprays are not necessary with ceramic cookware. The use of such sprays
may create an invisible buildup on the surface of the pan that will affect the pan’s
ceramic properties.
Hand-washing is recommended.
• Always wait for your cookware to cool before cleaning. Our cookware is easy to
clean in warm, soapy water using a cloth or sponge. NEVER use abrasive clean-
ers or oven cleaners. Stubborn spots can be removed with cleaners that specify
“safe for ceramic surfaces”.
• Glass Lids: When cleaning glass lids, do NOT use metal scouring pads or harsh
abrasives, as they may scratch and weaken the glass.
NOTE: To avoid discoloration, our cookware should not be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Your Aluminum Cookware Set with Nonstick Ceramic interior consists of the
following pieces:
Sauce Pan (11⁄4qt) with lid
Sauce Pan (2 qt) with lid
Sauté Pan (3 qt) with lid
Dutch Oven (43⁄4qt) with lid
Frying Pan (91⁄2" diam. x 13⁄4" h)
18. Do NOT add cold water, ice or fully frozen food items directly to a hot pan, as
a steam eruption could occur that could cause burns or other injury to users or
bystanders.
19. Be especially cautious in this regard when the pan contains hot oils used during
cooking, as steam eruptions are possible when elements containing water are
brought into contact with hot oil.
20. When boiling water, add salt to the water only after it has come to a boil to keep
salt grains from damaging the steel components of the cookware.
21. Do NOT combine cookware to make a double broiler. These pieces are not
designed for that purpose, and such use could result in steam-related burns or
other injury to users or bystanders.
22. Our cookware cannot be used in a microwave, under a broiler, over a campfire
or on any type of grill.
23. Our cookware is compatible with gas, spiral, ceramic and glass electric range
burner tops. It cannot be used on an induction cooker.
24. Use wooden or heat-resistant plastic utensils. Metal utensils will scratch the
ceramic surface.
