Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the non-stick surface
Ensure the pan is properly preheated on low to medium heat before adding food. Avoid using excessive heat. Ensure you are using the correct cooking utensils (non-metal) and clean the pan thoroughly after each use.
Uneven heating or hot spots
Ensure the pan is centered on the burner and the heat is adjusted appropriately. The aluminium body is designed for even heating, so ensure the heat source is not too high or localized.
Handle feels loose
Check if the handle attachment has a screw that can be tightened. If it is riveted, contact customer support as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.
Non-stick coating is peeling or scratched
Cease using the pan immediately. This indicates damage to the coating, which can be caused by using metal utensils or abrasive cleaning. Contact customer support for replacement options.
