How do I attach the handles to the cookware?

What accessories are included with the cookware?

How should I clean the non-stick coating?
To maintain the ceramic non-stick coating, it is recommended to hand-wash the cookware with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive materials and metal utensils.
Does the stoneware need special care?
The stoneware is durable and dishwasher/microwave safe. For stubborn stains, a baking soda paste can be used. Avoid dropping or exposing to sudden extreme temperature changes.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the pan
Ensure the pan is adequately preheated and a small amount of cooking oil is used. Check that the non-stick coating is not damaged. Clean the pan thoroughly after each use.
Uneven cooking on the hob
Verify that the correct heat setting is used for the type of food. Ensure the cookware base is clean and flat, making proper contact with the hob surface. Check that the hob itself is functioning correctly.
Cookware handle feels loose
Disengage the handle and reattach it, ensuring it clicks firmly into place. Do not use the cookware if the handle feels unstable or insecure.
Tableware chipped or cracked
Inspect for significant damage. Minor chips may not affect functionality but can be a safety concern. Avoid using chipped items, especially in microwaves.
Stains on stoneware
For stubborn stains, use a paste of baking soda and water, gently scrub, and rinse. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the glaze.
