Failure to follow the warnings provided below may result in personal injury, property damage, or damage to your Copper Chef Cookware. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS • NEVER leave Copper Chef Cookware or any pan empty over a hot burner. This could ruin the pan and cause damage to your stove top. • NEVER put your cookware in the microwave or toaster oven. This is a hazard that can cause electric sparks or fire, and possibly damage the appliances and your cookware. • NEVER leave your cookware unattended. This helps to avoid potential injury to children or the risk of fire. • ALWAYS supervise children who are near cookware when in use, or injury may result. • DO NOT handle Copper Chef Cookware when hot, especially when inside the oven. Use oven mitts because the pan and handles will be very hot. • Exercise caution when using the glass lid. As with any glassware for cooking, the lid could shatter due to sudden temperature changes or due to impact if it is dropped or knocked against a hard object. • If the glass lid should crack, chip, or become damaged, stop using it immediately. • DO NOT attempt to repair cookware if it is damaged. • This product is for home use only. It is NOT INTENDED for camping or commercial use. • DO NOT use aerosol cooking sprays. These sprays will build up on cookware and become difficult to remove while reducing the non-stick coating release.

It is recommended that you season the pans after each time they are cleaned in a dishwasher. Seasoning is not necessary if you hand wash the pans. Contents (Not for use on stovetop or in oven.) Accessories Assembly Before Using 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. Copper Chef Cookware is dishwasher safe so you can put it in the dishwasher to rinse and clean before using for the first time. Basket Assembly To assemble the frying basket for your Copper Chef cookware: 1. Squeeze the basket handle to compress the holding posts together. 2. Position the handle to fit over the support wire and through basket opening as shown. 3. Release your grip so that the handle springs open and insert the posts into the holding slots. 4. The handle should now be securely on the basket. Steamer Tray Assembly The steamer tray is easy to assemble. All you do is insert the 4 legs into the holding slots. 1. Remove plastic film prior to use. 2. Turn the steamer tray upside down. 3. With your thumb and index finger, pinch the leg to compress the holding posts together. 4. Position the holding posts between the holding slots. 5. Release the leg so that it springs back open and the holding posts slip into the holding slots. 6. Repeat until all 4 legs are installed. 7. Turn steamer tray upright and use as needed. Accessories Assembly Basket Assembly Fry Basket can hook on edge of pan to drain off excess oil. Steamer Tray Assembly Steamer Tray in Pan Recommendations While Cooking • We recommend low to medium heat settings for most cooking. The Cerami-Tech coating distributes heat more effectively and evenly. This causes some protein-rich foods to cook more quickly. • The Cerami-Tech coating does not require the use of butter or cooking oil. If you choose to use oil or butter, we recommend oil or butter with a high smoke point: refined olive oil, peanut oil, corn oil and (clarified) butter. • Do not use extra virgin olive oil or oil sprays. They cannot withstand high heating and will leave a thin carbonized layer on the non-stick coating. Easy Maintenance • Allow pans to cool completely before washing. Never immerse a hot pan in cold water as this will cause irreparable warping. Cleaning your Copper Chef Cookware is quick and easy. • After each use, fill your Copper Chef pan with hot water and liquid dish detergent. Let this stand 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. Recommendations • Copper Chef Cookware features oven-safe handles that can withstand oven temperatures. Caution should be used when handling any cookware handles when hot and we recommend the use of pot holders or oven mitts. Dishwasher Safe Copper Chef Cookware is dishwasher safe. It is important to know that soil from other dishes can be abrasive. Always load the dishwasher carefully. Other dishes or flatware may mark the surface of the cookware. Over a long period, regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any utensil. We recommend using a non-lemon detergent. Proper Cooking Utensils To prevent scratching the coating, we recommend using non-metal utensils with your Copper Chef Cookware. Do not cut food in the Copper Chef pans. Using sharp utensils such as forks, knives, mashers or whisks can scratch the cooking surface. Tips Removing Stubborn Residue When food is burned in the pan, a stubborn black residue may remain. If soaking does not loosen it, add water and a tablespoon of non-lemon dishwasher detergent to a depth of one inch in the pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan, then drain and rinse. Loosen the residue with a sponge or plastic spatula. Repeat if necessary. Removing Burner Stains Burner stains on the outside bottom (not sides) of the pan can be removed with an oven cleaner. Follow the manufacturer’s directions and spray or brush the cleaner on only the outside bottom of the pan. If the directions call for using the cleaner in a warm oven, heat the pan before applying the cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning. Cooking with Gas When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the flame touches only the pan bottom. Your pan can become discolored and it is a waste of energy if the flame comes up the sides of the pan. NOTE: Copper Chef Cookware has exceptionally high thermo-conductivity. Even a low setting on some gas burners could cause overheating and possibly burn foods such as thinly sliced onions. Tips You can prevent this by using an inexpensive gas “flame-tamer” placed between the burner and the bottom of the pan. You can find inexpensive flame-tamers at most hardware stores. Cooking Temperature in Oven Feel free to use Copper Chef Cookware in the oven without damage. Please note that the handle as well as the pan will become hot. Always use oven mitts or potholders to prevent burns. Your Copper Chef Cookware can be used in the oven. It can go from the burner to the oven and even to the table when placed on a heat-resistant trivet. Storage When storing your Copper Chef Cookware avoid stacking and crowding it in cabinets or drawers. That could cause scratches. We recommend a cookware rack or pegboard to provide convenient, safe storage. Always nest your non-stick pans carefully. Never place any metallic pan covers with thin, sharp edges inside your pans.
