Footnotes:
Safe Handling: Read and retain the care instructions and use only for food preparation. Misuse may cause injury or property damage. Wash before first use. Handles and knobs become hot; use dry heat protection, take care around escaping steam and never leave cookware unattended. Stop using cookware if the interior enamel chips.
Heat Sources: Never use in a microwave or expose to unregulated outdoor-grill, open-fire or pizza-oven heat. Match the burner to the base and keep gas flames beneath it; an oversized induction zone can impair heating. In the oven, use a rack, never the oven floor, and leave at least 2 in beneath a broiler.
Temperature Changes: Heat and cool gradually, using low to medium heat rather than rapid high-heat preheating. Let cookware cool before cleaning and avoid cold-water thermal shock. Refrigerate or freeze only after cooling, with adequate weight support. Reheat frozen contents gradually from a cold oven.
Surface and Utensil Care: Lift rather than slide on glass surfaces and protect countertops from hot cookware. Prefer silicone, wood or heat-resistant tools; avoid sharp metal tools and striking the rim. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft nonabrasive sponge or brush. Tighten loose screws at room temperature without overtightening.
