IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. Never leave your Grill/Griddle empty over a hot burner. This could ruin the Grill/Griddle and cause damage to your stove top.
2. Never put your Grill/Griddle in the microwave or toaster oven. This is a hazard that can cause electric sparks or fire and can possibly damage the appliances and your cookware.
3. Never leave your Grill/Griddle unattended. This helps to avoid potential injury to children or the risk of fire.
4. Always supervise children who are near cookware when in use, or injury may result.
5. DO NOT handle your Grill/Griddle and Glass Press (may be sold separately) when hot, especially when inside the oven. Use oven mitts because the Grill/Griddle will be very hot.
6. Do not attempt to repair the Grill/Griddle if it is damaged.
7. This product is for home use only. It is not intended for camping or commercial use.
8. Do not use aerosol cooking sprays. These sprays will build up on the Grill/Griddle and become difficult to remove while reducing the non-stick coating release.
9. Inspect the Glass Press (if included) for any defects, chips, or abnormalities before using. Do not use if any abnormality is found and contact customer support for help.

Before Using

Please remove any clear or blue protective film on the components. Before using your new cookware, it is recommended that you wash it in hot water with mild soap or dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel. The Grill/ Griddle is dishwasher safe, so you can put it in the dishwasher to rinse and clean before using for the first time.

While Cooking on Stove Top

• We recommend low to medium heat settings for most cooking. The Cerami-Tech coating will distribute heat more effectively and evenly, which causes some proteinrich foods to cook more quickly.
• The Cerami-Tech coating does not require the use of butter or cooking oil. However, you can use oil or butter for seasoning.
• Certain oils (e.g., corn, lard, butter, canola, peanut, sesame, coconut, avocado, grapeseed, sunflower, olive oil, and extra virgin olive oil) or clarified butter can be used at higher cooking temperatures than other oils. When using extra virgin olive oil or clarified butter, please consider using medium or medium-high heat for best results.

Re-Season Your Pan
With repeated use and washing, the characteristics of ceramic coating may fade, but you may revitalize the coating by re-seasoning your cookware:

1. Add a small amount of vegetable oil to a clean paper towel. Rub the oiled paper towel all over the entire INTERIOR surface of the pan.
2. Put the pan over low heat on the stovetop for 30 secs. to 1 min., removing the pan if the oil starts to smoke.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.
4. Once the pan has cooled, use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe away any excess oil. Then, your pan is ready to use.

For best results, re-season your pan after a few uses or after cleaning it in a dishwasher.

Easy Maintenance

• Allow cookware to cool completely before washing. Never immerse a hot Grill/ Griddle in cold water as this will cause irreparable warping. Cleaning your cookware is quick and easy.
• After each use, clean your Grill/Griddle with hot water and liquid dish detergent. Let soak until lukewarm. Use a sponge or soft cloth to remove any remaining food particles.
• Do not use steel wool or other metal pads. They could leave coarse scratches. Always rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft towel.

Dishwasher Safe
Although your Grill/Griddle is dishwasher safe, we recommend cleaning by hand. Handwashing preserves the life of cookware and helps to maintain its appearance. If cleaning in the dishwasher, follow the suggested guidelines below.

• Load the dishwasher carefully. Other dishes and flatware may mark the surface of your cookware.
• Be sure to remove soil from other dishes and flatware. It can be abrasive to cookware’s nonstick coating.
•  We recommend using a non-lemon detergent. · Regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any surface.

Proper Cooking Utensils
To prevent scratching the coating, do not cut food on the Grill/ Griddle using sharp utensils, such as forks, knives, mashers, or whisks, that can deteriorate the cooking surface.

Tips
Removing Stubborn Residue When food is burned on the Grill/Griddle, a stubborn black residue may remain. If regular cleaning does not loosen it, soak in hot water and a tablespoon of non-lemon detergent for 15 minutes. Allow the water to become lukewarm before you drain and rinse. Wipe with a plastic spatula or non-abrasive sponge to loosen the residue. Repeat if necessary.

Cooking With Gas
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the flame touches only the bottom surface of the cookware. Your Grill/Griddle can become discolored and it is a waste of energy if the flame comes up the sides of the pan.
NOTE: Your cookware has exceptionally high term conductivity. Even a low setting on some gas burners could cause overheating and possibly burn foods such as thinly sliced onions.

Cooking Temperature in Oven
Feel free to use your Grill/Griddle in the oven without damage. Please note that the cookware will become hot. Always use oven mitts or potholders to prevent burns. Your can go from the burner to the oven and even to the table when placed on a heat resistant trivet.
Storage
When storing your cookware, avoid stacking and crowding it in cabinets or drawers. This could cause scratches. We recommend a cookware rack or pegboard to provide convenient, safe storage. Always nest your non-stick cookware carefully.
