• Check before use: Inspect for cracks in glass/ceramics, deformations, loose handles, and damaged non-stick coatings. Do not use damaged products.
• Safe heat handling: Use dry oven mitts, point handles inward, do not overheat empty pans, and never leave cooking unattended.
• Ventilation and fire safety: Cook in a well-ventilated area; keep flammable materials away from fire. Do not extinguish grease fires with water – cover with a lid or use an appropriate fire extinguisher.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions: Respect pictograms and limits (oven, induction, microwave, temperatures) and recommended tools.

• Safe environment: Maintain a clean, dry, and stable surface; keep appliance cords away from edges; place hot containers on heat-resistant mats.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Storage

• Cleaning: Allow to cool; do not cool hot glass/ceramics under running water. Clean according to material; avoid abrasive sponges and harsh cleaners especially on non-stick coatings.
