Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the pan.
Ensure the pan is properly preheated, use a small amount of cooking oil or butter, and verify that the nonstick coating has not been scratched or damaged by metal utensils.
Discoloration of the pan surface.
This can occur from overheating or certain food residues. Try cleaning with a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for nonstick surfaces or a paste of baking soda and water.
Handles feel loose.
Check if the handle screws need tightening. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
