Using the pan

•Do not use plastic utensils on the pan. The pan becomes very hot quickly and could melt the utensils.

•Do not use any metal utensils, as they can scratch the pan.

•Do not use the pan in any other microwave oven or in a thermal oven.

•Always use the turntable as support for the pan.

•Coat the pan lightly with cooking oil to make removing food and cleaning easier.

Cleaning the pan

Wash the pan in dishwasher or in mild, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleansers or scrubbers.
