User manual TEFAL PY550012

[. . . ] The efficiency of the pan may be affected by the diameter and power of your hob. HANDLES, KNOBS AND LIDS After washing, allow sufficient time for knobs and handles to drain. We recommend the use of oven gloves when lifting pans and lids fitted with stainless steel handles and knobs. Plastic and wooden handles may become hot after prolonged use ­ in which case, use oven gloves. Handles and knobs may loosen after a time due to the continual heating and cooling of the fixing. [. . . ] The use of the lid when cooking considerably reduces energy consumption. Use the minimum amount of water in pans and bring to the boil quickly before reducing to a simmer.

France - 74150 Rumilly, France 5 6 7 GENERAL SAFETY ADVICE USING YOUR COOKWARE Choose a suitable sized flame or ring for the base of the pan (this prevents damage to the handle and coating). - A blue or yellow discolouration may appear on your products; this is a natural occurrence with stainless steel pans, due to overheating and is in no way harmful. - All the above can be removed with a special cleaner for stainless steel pans. Lemon juice or white vinegar can also be added to the cleaner if desired, for best results. Application of white vinegar may remove some of the discolouration in the first instance without use of the above. Never use bleach or chlorine based products on your pans as it is extremely corrosive to stainless steel, even when diluted. It will cause tiny pits to appear in the surface of the steel which may be unsightly and will affect the cooking performance. If you burn food in pans which have a stainless steel interior, fill them with warm water and washing up liquid and leave to soak for about an hour. Afterwards wash them with washing-up liquid and a sponge. Hard to remove food deposits may require soaking in hot soapy water to loosen, if soaking is not enough, scrub with a non-metallic scouring pad suitable for the purpose. Do not allow to boil dry as this may cause discolouration, damage to the pan, and/or failure of the base. In the event of overheating the cookware should not be moved but should be left to cool first, due to the danger of the potentially molten aluminium within the encapsulated base. [. . . ] A build up of residue or scale may form inside the pan. This is often seen when a pan is continually used for boiling vegetables and hard water is used. To remove these deposits use diluted white vinegar or lemon juice. To resolve the problem we also suggest that a little cooking oil is spread over the non-stick coating after washing and drying to re-condition the non-stick surface. IF YOUR COOKWARE IS HARD ANODIZED Tefal has developed a revolutionary process, which has made anodized cookware dishwasher safe. [. . . ]
