UTENSILS

• Always recommended to use silicone, plastic or wooden utensils when working with items that have non-stick coatings (All except, 576211, 576213, 576212 and 576204)
• Avoid using sharp tools such as knives or any other metal utensil, doing so may scratch the surface compromising the non-stick coating.

CLEANING

• Items with non-stick coatings are not recommended to be washed in commercial dishwasher (hand-wash highly recommended), exposure to high heat and strong detergents can degrade the coating over time
• Use only soft cleaning tools such as soft sponge, microfibre cloth or non-abrasive scrubber
• Avoid using steel wool, scouring pads or any other abrasive cleaning tool
• Allow items to cool down before washing, not doing so may result in the item warping and/or causing damage to the coating
• Avoid soaking items with non-stick coating for long periods of time. If needed soak for 10-15 minutes in warm soapy water and use gentle cleaner solutions
  
  

STORAGE & MAINTENANCE

• Store accessories separately or with protective layers (e.g., cloths, paper towels) between them to prevent scratches
• Do not place heavy items on the surface during storage as they may damage/scratch the surface
• Inspect the non-stick coating regularly for signs of peeling, chipping, or wear. Discontinue use if damage is present and replace accessories if the coating is compromised
