Important Safety Instructions
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills
and movement of the pan.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work
areas or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.
