Care and Cleaning
Before the First Use: Thoroughly wash each piece of your new cooking system in hot,
soapy water containing 1/2 cup vinegar. Rinse with hot water and dry.
Regular Cleaning: This easy-care system requires only washing in warm, soapy water.
Rinse and dry. The thermometer should not be put in dishwasher. Rinse with soap and water
and dry. We do not recommend putting your cookware in the dishwasher as the high
temperature may have a tendency to fade your handler after a long period of time.
Use & Care with Utensils: Avoid superficial nicks and scratches by using wooden or
nylon utensils. Never cut foods in the cookware, which could mar the finish.
Cleaning Stubborn Spots: Surface stains may appear after cooking foods such as lima
beans, rice and other starchy foods, or after searing meats. These can be removed quickly
and easily. Simply rinse pan and sprinkle with a mild non-abrasive stainless steel cleanser
such as Bar Keepers Friend. Apply Bar Keepers Friend as a paste with a cloth or sponge
and rub lightly in a circular motion. Wash again, rinse, then dry promptly. To order your own
supply of Bar Keepers Friend, please contact 1-800-433-5818 (in the U.S.) or contact
www.barkeepersfriend.com.
Dishwasher hint: Arinsing agent, such as Jet Dry®, will eliminate water spots.
Burned-on Foods: Although if used properly, foods should not burn, but in the event they
do, to loosen burned-on foods, fill utensil with hot water; bring to boil. Simmer until burned
particles can be loosened with a nylon spatula. Let cool; wash in hot soapy water, rinse
and dry.
Cleaning the Patented Ultra-Temp Control Valve: Periodic washing of the Ultra-
Temp control valve is recommended. To do so, simply remove the thermometer unscrew the
knob assembly. Wash parts in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before
reassembling. Always wash thermometer after testing internal food temperatures. The
thermometer should not be put in dishwasher. Rinse with soap and water and dry.
