ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
• Cookware is compatible with gas, electric, induction, ceramic, and glass
top stoves. ATTENTION: DO NOT place a small Fry Pan (5.5 x 1 in) / (14 x
2.5 cm) on the induction cooktop.
• Before using for the first time, remove all labels and wash in hot water with
a mild detergent to remove any manufacturing residue on the new cook-
ware.
• When in use, the cookware will be extremely hot. Caution should be taken
as heat, steam, and splatter can cause injury.
• When in use, keep cookware, especially handles out of reach of children.
• Always carry hot cookware by the handles. When hot, do not use a wet
cloth or potholder to lift the cookware or place on a wet surface. Hot cook-
ware should be placed on heat-resistant surfaces only.
• Do not add cold water, ice, or fully frozen food items directly to hot cook-
ware, as a steam eruption could occur that may cause burns or other
injuries to users or bystanders.
• Be extremely cautious when the pan contains hot oils used during cook-
ing, as steam eruptions are possible when elements containing water are
brought into contact with hot oil.
• Never leave cookware on the heat source without food or liquid inside.
• 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 injuries to users or bystanders.
• For safety and to prevent warping, allow cookware to cool before cleaning
or immersion in water.
• This cookware cannot be used in a microwave, under a broiler, over a
campfire, or on any type of grill.
• Salt solutions, acidic products like tomatoes, disinfectants, or bleaches
can corrode cookware, and so it is recommended to avoid prolonged expo-
sure.
• All cookware will last longer and will retain their finish better if washed by
hand with hot soapy water. Always scrub in the direction of the material
grain. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
• To prevent surface damage, use ONLY plastic, wooden, or silicone uten-
sils.

USING YOUR COOKWARE SET
BEFORE FIRST USE:
• Remove all labels and packaging materials.
• Wash cookware in hot water with a mild detergent, then rinse and dry
using a clean, soft dish cloth or paper towel.
LID USE:
• When removing lids during cooking, tilt the lid to direct steam away from
you and keep hands and face away from steam vents. Always use a
potholder or appropriate kitchen cloth to remove lids to avoid burns or
injury.
• 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.
• DO NOT place hot glass lids under cold water, as the temperature change
can break the glass.
GENERAL COOKING TIPS:
• Never leave cookware unattended while cooking.
• Use only low to medium heat with your cookware set at all times (includ-
ing boiling water). Aluminum cookware conducts heat extremely quickly
and evenly. High heat may damage the ceramic coating.
• Select the proper burner size so that the heat touches only the bottom
diameter of the cooking surface and not the sides of the cookware.
• When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the flame touches only the
cookware bottom cooking surface. If the flame comes up the sides of the
pan, energy is wasted, and the sides of the pan may become permanently
discolored.
• Never let cookware boil dry or leave an empty piece of cookware on a
heated burner.
• Do not use the cookware to flambe.
• Do not slide or drag cookware across the stovetop, as this may cause
damage to both the cookware and the stove top.

HANDLES AND KNOBS:
• The handles and knobs can get very hot under cooking conditions. As a
general precaution, we always recommend the use of a potholder when
handling hot cookware.
• When cooking, make sure handles are not positioned over other hot burn-
ers.
• Some handles and knobs that are attached with screws may loosen over
time. If this occurs, they should be retightened. Do not over tighten, as this
could result in damage to the lid or knob.
• During use, keep all handles out of reach of children and avoid overhang-
ing over the cooking surface, to avoid potential knocks and possible injury.
UTENSILS:
Wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils are recommended for most ceramic
surfaces.
COOKWARE PROTECTORS:
To keep your non-stick cookware in excellent condition, store your cook-
ware with pot/pan protectors.
COOKING ON A STOVE TOPS:
If properly maintained, the non-stick finish will provide years of great cook-
ing performance and easy cleaning. Preventing damage to the ceramic
finish will help to maximize product performance. You can protect and get
the most out of your cookware by following these instructions:
• Never cut food directly in the pan or gouge the ceramic surface in any way.
• Avoid overexposure to food high in salt, as it can cause the coating to peel
off.
• The ceramic surface may become slightly darker with use. Slight surface
marks or abrasions are normal and will not affect the performance of the
ceramic coating.
• Ceramic 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.

CLEANING AND CARE:
TO BREAK A VACUUM SEAL:
The uniquely designed rims and lids form a perfect fit with the base cook-
ware to reduce the evaporation of liquids. If you leave the lid on after turning
the heat down or off, a partial vacuum may form, which will seal the lid to
the pan. To break the seal, turn on the heat for a few moments, and the
cover will come off easily. If you don’t want the lid to seal to the pan, remove
the lid or set it slightly ajar before turning off the heat.
• Hand-wash ONLY.
• Allow non-stick coating to cool before cleaning.
• Hand wash in hot water with mild detergent water with a cloth or sponge
and let air dry immediately to preserve appearance. Always scrub in the
direction of the material grain.
• Use a non-woven scouring pad to remove burnt food.
• Never use abrasive cleaners, metal scouring pads, oven cleaners, or
strong solvents.
• Stubborn stains can be removed with cleaners that specify “safe for
ceramic surfaces.”
• When cleaning glass lids, do not use metal scouring pads or harsh abra-
sives, as they may scratch and weaken the glass.
• To remove food burnt to the bottom of the cookware, boil a mild solution
of vinegar and water for 10 minutes to dislodge food particles.
• To remove white film caused by starch or water minerals, rub with a
sponge that has been dipped in lemon juice or vinegar, then wash with hot,
soapy water.
• When stacking pans, place cookware protectors between pans to avoid
scratching non-stick surfaces.
• A cookware rack provides convenient, safe storage for your Mueller Ultra
Clad Copper Cookware Set. Stacking and crowding in cabinets or drawers
may cause scratches.
