Troubleshooting
Pan is not heating up
Ensure the power cable is securely plugged into both the pan and a working electrical outlet. Check that the temperature control dial is turned to a setting above 'OFF' and that the outlet itself is live.
Food is sticking to the non-stick surface
While non-stick, always ensure the pan is sufficiently preheated to the correct cooking temperature before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Avoid very high heat settings for prolonged periods without food, which can sometimes degrade the coating over time. Ensure you are using appropriate non-metal utensils.
Excessive steam build-up under the lid
Verify that the steam vents on the toughened glass lid are not blocked by food particles or condensation. The vents are designed to release steam safely. If consistently blocked, this could indicate overfilling the pan or cooking at too high a temperature without sufficient ventilation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Unpack: Carefully remove the electric cooker pan and all its components (lid, power cable) from the packaging.
Inspect: Check for any signs of damage during transit.
Clean Before First Use: Wipe down the non-stick cooking surface and the glass lid with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before use.
Placement: Place the pan on a stable, heat-resistant, and level surface away from flammable materials.
Connect Power: Ensure the pan's temperature control unit is set to 'OFF' or its lowest setting before securely attaching the detachable power cable.
Compatibility
Power Supply: This electric cooker pan is compatible with standard household electrical outlets (Info needed: specific voltage/Hz if applicable, e.g., 220-240V, 50/60Hz).
Utensils: To protect the non-stick coating, always use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils. Avoid metal utensils that can scratch the surface.
Care & Maintenance
Cleaning: After each use, allow the pan to cool completely. The non-stick surface can be easily wiped clean with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn residue, soak the pan for a few minutes before cleaning. The detachable power cable makes it easier to clean the pan without worrying about electrical components.
Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the non-stick coating and the pan's exterior.
Lid Care: The toughened glass lid can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher.
Storage: Ensure the pan is completely dry before storing. Store in a clean, dry place to prevent dust build-up.
