2. Cleaning and care instructions of your stainless steel cookware:
• After you use it, fill it with hot water to remove any stuck-on food. Then bring back the
shine using water, wahsing-up liquid and a sponge.
• All you need for cleaning is hot water, washing-up liquid and a soft sponge.
• Over time, minerals in tap water can cause dull marks or stains on the surface. Clean
these spots by rubbing them with half a lemon.
• You can remove stubborn deposits by adding a mixture of 9 parts water to one part
vinegar essence and briefly boiling it.
• Do not use scratchy sponges, steel wool or abrasive cleaning agents because they can
rough the surface.
• Your cookware will last longer if you do not put it in the dishwasher. The cleaning
agents used in dishwashers are often too aggressive and in the long term they damage
the material.
3. Instructions for different handles and lid knobs:
• Stainless steel handles on pans and casseroles are completely oven-safe. Because of the
good heat conductivity, always handle hot cookware with pan holders, serving aids or
our Thermo-Grips. Otherwise there is a risk of burns!
• Some stainless steel handles are heat insulated and will not heating up during usage on
the stove. You can find detailed information in the cookware description.
• Unless otherwise stated, plastic handles and lid knobs are heatproof up to 160 °C /
320 °F. Please note this when using them in the oven and set the temperature
accordingly. Plastic handles and lid knobs become hot when used in the oven. Please
use pan holders, serving aids or our Thermo-Grips, otherwise there is a risk of burns.
