Troubleshooting

Food sticking to the surface

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food and that sufficient cooking fat or oil is used. If the non-stick is damaged, it may need replacement.

Uneven heating

Verify the hob setting is appropriate for the pan size and that the base of the saucepan is clean and flat on the heating element. Ensure the hob itself is functioning correctly.

Handle feels loose

Check if the handle is securely fastened. If it remains loose after tightening any visible fixings (if applicable), contact customer support.

Pan not heating on induction hob

Confirm that the saucepan's base is indeed induction compatible (typically indicated by a symbol). Ensure the induction hob is switched on and set to an appropriate power level. Clean the base of the pan and the hob surface.
