Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the pan
Ensure the pan is preheated appropriately before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil. Check that the non-stick coating is not damaged. Avoid using metal utensils.
Uneven cooking or hot spots
Verify that the hob is level and the pan is centered. Ensure the heat setting is appropriate for the food being cooked. The thermic base is designed for even heating, so significant hot spots may indicate an issue with the hob itself.
Handles feel loose
Periodically check if the handle screws need tightening. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Discoloration on the exterior
Discoloration can occur with high heat or certain cooking residues. Clean gently with a non-abrasive cleaner. This is often cosmetic and does not affect performance.
