Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the pan.
Ensure the pan is preheated properly before adding food. Use the recommended cooking oil or butter. Verify that you are using non-metal utensils and that the non-stick coating is not damaged.
Pan is heating unevenly.
Ensure the pan is centered on the heat source. For gas stoves, check that the flame does not extend beyond the base of the pan. For electric or induction, ensure the element size is appropriate for the pan base.
Non-stick coating appears scratched.
Inspect the pan for damage caused by metal utensils or abrasive cleaning. Minor cosmetic scratches may not affect performance, but significant damage may warrant replacement.
Handle feels loose.
Check if the handle screws need tightening. If the handle is permanently attached and loose, contact customer support for assistance.
