USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Classic XD is constructed of multiple layers of specially developed and
carefully selected materials. Our XD series cookware begins with a cast
aluminum alloy foundation. Liquid metal is cast into molds under high
pressure so it will never warp. This produces a perfectly flat base resulting
in even heat distribution. The foundation is then sand-blasted to prepare it
for a layer of plasma coating. Plasma coating eliminates oxidation and forms
an extremely strong bond with our proprietary nonstick coating.
Finally, each piece is finished with three layers of our latest, diamond-
reinforced, PFOA-free, patented, XD nonstick coating.
Swiss Diamond pioneered award-winning, PFOA-free, diamond-reinforced, nonstick
cookware nearly two decades ago. Diamonds are durable, a superior heat
conductor, and naturally nonstick. Our next generation, XD nonstick diamond
reinforced coating has been developed after many years of research. The
enhanced formula results in significantly improved durability and cooking
performance for perfect food release every time.
XD Series cookware is available in both a Classic and a Classic Induction
series to accommodate all cooktops and can easily be transferred to the oven,
with our lids being oven safe up to 500°F (260°C). The handles are
ergonomically designed to stay cool. Key pieces feature a helper handle for
additional ease.
The Swiss Diamond brand is 100% Swiss-owned. Our Classic XD cookware is made
and designed in Switzerland.
General Use
-
Use the right cookware for your cooktop.
-
For best results and to maximize energy efficiency, match the base diameter of your cookware to the correct size burner or hot plate.
-
For gas cooktops, ensure the flame is centered beneath the pan. DO NOT allow the flame to extend up the sides of the pan.
-
For electric cooktops, always make sure the base of your cookware and your cooktop are clean prior to use. Never drag or push your cookware as this may scratch your cooking surface.
-
For Induction cooktops, always make sure the base of your cookware and your cooktop are clean prior to use. Permanent marks may occur if this is not done. The “boost” function should not be used for searing or frying, as its purpose is to bring large quantities of liquid to a boil. While cooking with Classic Induction XD, you may detect a low-vibration noise.
This is normal and will not affect the cooking performance. -
Use low to medium heat. High heat is never required due to the excellent thermal conductivity of Swiss Diamond cookware. Start with low heat and adjust gently upward as needed. Always place your pan on the center of the heating surface. Do not overheat as this will damage the cooking surface. Overheating is a common occurrence and is easily recognizable as the exterior will change color. Damage from overheating is not covered under warranty.
NOTE: Swiss Diamond cookware is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C), including lids and ergonomic handles. Never put Swiss Diamond in a microwave oven. -
Preheating. For optimal performance, place the pan on low and gently increase to medium heat and preheat for 3 minutes, after this time you can add your food, and you can turn down the heat during the cooking process. Note that the cookware has been specially designed to spread the heat evenly across the base and up the sides of the pans, so there is no need for high heat.
-
Use proper utensils. Silicone and wooden tools are highly recommended.
Any tool with a sharp point or edge should not be used. Do not chop or cut in the pan. Small scratches do not decrease the performance of the cookware and are not covered under warranty. Do not leave utensils in cookware while cooking. Use a spoon rest. -
If you must use cooking oil, use it properly. Swiss Diamond is designed for cooking with little or no oil. If you choose to use oil, heating it above its smoke point, or to the point at which the oil will burn, will gradually lead to a thin layer of oil residue build-up on the surface of your cookware which may become carbonized over time. Carbonization can be difficult to remove and interfere with your cookware’s nonstick properties. Refer to the chart below for smoke points for commonly used oils as well as the section entitled Removing Stubborn Food & Oil Build-Up from the Nonstick Surface. Avoid using cooking sprays which may cause carbonization at even relatively low temperatures.

Use cookware safely. Never leave cookware unattended on a hot cooktop. Never allow cookware to reach boiling temperature without water.
Turn handles away from the edge of the cooktop to prevent accidents or injuries. Be sure to use oven mitts/gloves when handling hot cookware. -
Food storage. Never store food in your cookware.
Cleaning
Before Using New Cookware
-
Hand-wash cookware thoroughly with hot, soapy water using a nylon brush, a nylon scourer, or a soft clean dishcloth or sponge.
Note: Swiss Diamond cookware is
considered dishwasher safe, but we recommend avoiding the dishwasher due to
the harsh chemicals in dishwashing detergent. -
Never use a metal or abrasive scourer or harsh chemicals.
-
Hand dry with a soft clean towel and ensure cookware is completely dry prior to storage.
Removing Stubborn Food & Oil Build-Up from the Nonstick Surface
Over time, you may notice a dark build-up on the surface of the pan. A thin
layer of food and oil residue may remain on the surface and may become
carbonized when reheated. This can occur gradually when cooking oil is used
above its smoke point. This doesn’t damage the pan but it can be very
difficult to remove. We recommend the following baking soda treatment:
- Mix a solution of baking soda and water for the consistency of toothpaste.
- Rub this solution into the pan wherever you see the dark build-up.
- Scrub vigorously with a nylon brush or scourer, or a soft clean dishcloth or sponge.
- Rinse clean, wash with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly
- Never use oven cleaner or other harsh chemicals as these will degrade the nonstick surface.
Cleaning the Exterior and Base
The following homemade solution can be used to remove buildup on the
exterior and base:
- Mix a solution of 1 quart (1 liter) water + 3 Tbsp. (45 ml) of a natural acid like lemon juice, cream of tartar or white vinegar.
- Bring this solution to a boil and then carefully use it on a nylon brush or scourer to clean the exterior and the base. Rinse, wash with warm soapy water, rinse again and dry thoroughly.
Everyday Maintenance & Storage
- Remove your food, carefully fill your hot cookware with about 2 inches of cold water and place your pan on a heat-resistant surface.
- Empty the pan and hand-wash it thoroughly with hot, soapy water using a nylon brush, a nylon scourer, or a soft clean dishcloth or sponge.
- Never use a metal or abrasive scourer or harsh chemicals.
- Hand dry with a soft clean towel and ensure cookware is completely dry prior to storage.
- If you nest your pans one on top of the other, place a clean paper towel, cloth towel or felt pan protector between your cookware pieces prior to storage to preserve the nonstick surface.
- If need be, the handles may be tightened with a #2 Phillips head screwdriver.
