Viking Cookware User Manual

Cooking
• Before using, wash in hot soapy water; rinse and
dry thoroughly.
• For optimal cooking performance, low to medium
heat settings are recommended.
• For best results, cook on a burner that is close to
the diameter of the fry pan you have selected.
When cooking on gas, adjust flame so it does not
flare up the sides of the pan.
• Do not leave an empty fry pan on a hot burner.
Care and Cleaning
• Allow pan to cool and then clean thoroughly after
each use.
• Wash in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry
immediately to prevent water spots. You may also
wash in the dishwasher.
• Do not cut food with a sharp knife while it is
in the pan.
• Metal utensils may be used but they can cause
scratching. Scratches will not affect the nonstick
performance but can mar the beauty of the pan.
Plastic, rubber, or wood utensils are recommended
to prolong the life of the pan.
• Viking non-stick cookware is oven safe to 500º F
but should never be place under the broiler.
• Do NOT use steel wool. Nylon scrubbing pads are
safe to use.
• Do NOT use oven cleaner or any cleaner that is
harsh or contains chlorine bleach.
• Food film, if not removed, may cause discoloration
on the pan when reheated. If this occurs, simply
remove with a paste of baking soda and a little
water. It will not affect the non-stick performance.
• Cookware exterior may be shined using a non-
chlorine, fine powder cleanser, mixed with water
to form a paste. Apply paste with a soft cloth or
sponge, rubbing in a circular motion. Wash in hot,
soapy water and dry immediately.
