4. Before first use:
It is imperative to check your cookware before the first use for possible material residues,
especially at the bottom of the cookware. Now and then in production, material particles
such as small metal splinters may appear that remain on the cookware. Please remove them
in order to avoid possible scratches.
Clean your cookware before first use with a soft cloth or sponge, a little water and a mild
washing-up liquid, and cleanse with boiling water 2 - 3 times. Using a paper towel, spread
some cooking oil on the coating (you do not have to use fat or oil the next time it is used).
When cooking on a glass ceramic hob, ensure that there are no particles of dirt between the
bottom of the pot and the hob, since these could scratch the hob surface. Do not slide your
cookware on the hob and always lift it to move it. We can assume no liability for damage that
occurs for the reasons mentioned.
In order to ensure good heat transfer, always place the cookware centrally on the hotplate. If
possible, use the heat stored in your cookware and reduce the energy input.
5. During cooking or roasting:
Use only kitchen gadgets and cooking utensils made of plastic, wood or silicone to stir or
remove the cooked or fried food. Never use metal utensils or sharp or pointed objects. This
preserves the quality of the non-stick coating for as long as possible. Also note that at increa-
sed temperatures, coated surfaces are softer and therefore more susceptible to damage.
Do not use any electrical appliances such as mixers or blenders in your cookware, otherwise
the non-stick coating will be damaged.
Avoid overheating, e. g. by boiling dry, through the use of unsuitable oil or fat, and always be
aware that stove and ceramic hobs can reach temperatures of up to 300 °C and more when
operating at full capacity. Should fat overheat and ignite, never use water to extinguish the
flames, use a blanket or a metal lid.
When cooking with induction cookers, the liquid contained in the food evaporates extremely
fast due to the speed at which it heats up. Prevent your pots from boiling dry by always su-
pervising the cooking process. When used on induction hotplates, unusual humming sounds
can occur due to the electromagnetic properties of the induction stove.
6. After use:
Let your cookware cool before attempting to clean it. Never pour cold water in your hot cook-
ware, as the coating may otherwise develop hairline cracks.
Do not shock the hot glass lid with cold water, but allow it to cool beforehand.

Coated cookware and cookware with an induction base belongs in the dishwasher only in
exceptional cases because the aggressive cleaning agents can penetrate into the smallest
scratches in the coatings, and destroy it over time. Induction bases will particularly corrode
and in the worst case scenario can even peel off the cookware. Thanks to the "Easy Clean
Effect", we recommend to simply wipe out the cookware with a cloth and hot water or clean
by hand with a small amount of a mild detergent.
Do not put the lid in the dishwasher but only clean them by hand.
Please never use steel wool or abrasive scouring agents to clean. If food particles are stuck,
loosen them by soaking or boiling briefly.
The statutory warranty is limited to normal use (non-commercial use).
It does not cover damage caused by misuse/ improper use, like for example:
- Damage caused by neglect, remaining oil/ fat on the hob and bottom of the pot
- Damage due to overheating or boiling dry (formation of tar)
- Damage due to scratching with unsuitable cooking utensils made of metal such as
pointed or sharp-edged knives, forks, mixers or blenders
- Damage from abrasive cleaners in dishwashers
