PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR ALUMINUM COOKWARE
BEFORE USING
NOTE: WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO STOVETOPS
Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using your cookware,
especially when children are present.
Quick Start Tips:
1. Remove all labels and packaging materials.
2. Wash cookware in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry using a soft cloth or
paper towel.
3. For cookware with a non-stick interior, it is recommended to “season” the pan
prior to first use. Wash the cookware thoroughly and dry. Heat each pan on low
for 30 seconds, remove from heat and put one tablespoon of vegetable oil in
each pan. Rub the oil over the entire surface with a paper towel. Repeat after
every 10 wash cycles or if accidental overheating occurs.
WARNING:
• Never leave cookware unattended while cooking.
• Use only low to medium heat with your cookware set at all times (including boiling
water). Aluminum cookware conducts heat extremely quickly and evenly. High heat
may damage your non-stick cookware, and this type of damage is not covered
under the warranty.
• Never let cookware boil dry or leave an empty piece of cookware on a heated
burner.
• Select the proper burner size so that the heat source touches only the bottom of
the cookware and does not climb up the side walls.
• On gas ranges, please adjust the ame so that it contacts only the bottom of the
cookware and does not jump up the sides.
• Do NOT use pan to ambe.
• Let pans cool before cleaning to prevent warping caused by extreme temperature
shocks. Avoid extreme temperature changes.
• Do not slide or drag cookware across a glass or ceramic stovetop as this may
cause damage to both the cookware and the stovetop.
LID USE:
• When removing lids during cooking, tilt lid to direct steam away from you and keep
hands and face away from steam vents.
• 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 them shattering or injuries to users or bystanders.

Cleaning & Care
Important Safeguards (cont’d)
LID USE (continued):
• Do NOT place hot glass lids under cold water, as the temperature change can
break the glass. This is not covered under the warranty.
• 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.
HANDLES AND KNOBS:
• The handles and knobs can get very hot under certain conditions. As a general
precaution we always recommend the use of a pot holder for all cookware.
• When cooking, make sure handles are not positioned over other hot burners.
• Some handles and knobs that are attached with screws may loosen over time. If
this occurs, they should be re-tightened. Do not over tighten, as this could result in
damage to the lid or knob. If the screw cannot be tightened or handles are riveted
or welded, call Wards customer service (see last page) for assistance.
UTENSILS:
• Wooden or plastic utensils are recommended for most non-stick surfaces.
• Do not use sharp or metal utensils on the non-stick surface as this will cause
damage not covered by warranty.
OVEN & BROILER USE:
• Always use pot holders when moving cookware in to and out of the oven.
• Our cookware with plastic handles (with or without metal inserts, or stainless steel
handles with silicone inserts) is oven-safe to 300° F.
• Our cookware with aluminum handles is oven-safe to 300° F.
• Do NOT use glass lids in the oven.
• Do NOT place aluminum cookware under the broiler or on induction cooker.
• We recommend that you only hand wash your aluminum cookware.
• 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 cleaners or oven cleaner. Stubborn spots can be removed
with cleaners that specify “safe for non-stick surfaces.”
• 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 with polished aluminum or decal
aluminum exteriors should not be cleaned in a dishwasher.

General Safety Precautions
• Keep children away from the stove while you are cooking. Be careful around the
stove as heat, steam and splatter can cause injury.
• Do not touch 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.
• Do not add cold water, ice or fully frozen food items directly to a hot pan, as steam
eruption could occur and cause burns or other injury to users or bystanders.
• 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.
• When boiling water, add salt to water only after it has come to a boil to keep salt
grains from damaging the steel components of the cookware.
• Do not combine cookware to make a double boiler. These pieces are not designed
for that purpose, and such use could result in steam-related burns or other injury
to users or bystanders.
• Our cookware cannot be used in a microwave, under a broiler, over a campre or
on any type of grill.
• Our cookware is compatible with gas, spiral, ceramic and glass electric range
burner tops. It cannot be used on an induction cooker.
Q: If the cookware is accidentally overheated, will there be hazardous fumes?
A: Any material overheated at a high enough temperature will emit fumes. Fumes
from overheated non-stick cookware will not adversely affect humans or house-
hold pets with the exception of certain exotic birds. Users should observe good
cooking practices and never allow non-stick cookware to overheat. For safety,
always keep birds in a well-ventilated room away from the kitchen.
Q: What could happen if the non-stick coating peeled and was accidentally
ingested?
A: Our non-stick coating is formulated not to chip or peel under normal household
use. Accidental ingestion of a small quantity is not harmful.
