സജ്ജീകരണവും ആദ്യ ഉപയോഗവും

1. അൺപാക്ക് ചെയ്യുന്നു: Carefully remove all cookware pieces and accessories from their packaging. Inspect each item for any signs of damage.
2. പ്രാരംഭ ക്ലീനിംഗ്: Before first use, wash all cookware and lids thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
3. Seasoning (Optional for Stainless Steel): While not strictly necessary for stainless steel, some users prefer to lightly oil the interior surface of fry pans before first use and heat gently. This can help create a natural non-stick layer over time.

പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

ചൂട് മാനേജ്മെൻ്റ്

• Medium Heat Cooking: Copper and aluminum are excellent heat conductors. For most cooking tasks, medium heat or lower is sufficient. High heat can cause food to stick and may lead to discoloration of the copper exterior.
• മുൻകൂട്ടി ചൂടാക്കൽ: Allow your cookware to preheat for a few minutes on medium heat before adding food. This ensures even heat distribution.

Cooking Surface Compatibility

• This cookware set is compatible with all cooking surfaces, except induction cooktops.
• Ensure the pan size matches the burner size to maximize efficiency and prevent heat damage to handles.

ഓവൻ സുരക്ഷ

• Pans are oven safe up to 500°F (260°C).
• Glass lids are oven safe up to 400°F (204°C).

Utensil Compatibility

To protect the stainless steel interior, use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils. Avoid metal utensils that can scratch the surface.

Features for Convenience

• Ergonomic Stay-Cool Handles: Designed for comfortable and secure grip, with a built-in heat break to minimize heat transfer.
• Internal Volume Measurements: Convenient markings inside the pots and pans provide quick and precise measurements in both US and metric units.
• Vented Glass Lids: Allow you to monitor cooking progress without lifting the lid, reducing the chance of boil-overs.

പരിപാലനവും പരിചരണവും

Proper care will ensure the longevity and beauty of your Viking Culinary Copper Cookware. Copper naturally develops a patina over time with use, which some users appreciate. If you prefer to maintain the original bright copper finish, regular cleaning is recommended.

ജനറൽ ക്ലീനിംഗ്

• ശുപാർശ ചെയ്യുന്ന കൈ കഴുകൽ: For best results and to preserve the copper finish, hand wash your cookware with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
• ഉണക്കൽ: Always towel dry thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots, especially on the copper exterior.
• ഡിഷ്വാഷർ ഉപയോഗം: While the cookware is technically dishwasher safe, frequent dishwasher use may dull the copper finish and is not recommended for maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
• ഉരച്ചിലുകൾ ഒഴിവാക്കുക: Never use abrasive pads, steel wool, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch and damage both the copper exterior and stainless steel interior, potentially voiding your warranty.

Cleaning Copper Exterior and Stainless Steel Interior

For removing food stains and tarnish from both the outside and inside of your cookware, Viking recommends using a non-abrasive cleaner such as Bar Keepers Friend. For stubborn tarnish on the copper exterior, a specialized copper tarnish remover like Tarn-X can be used.

Using Bar Keepers Friend (for both interior and exterior)

1. Rinse the cookware with water.
2. Sprinkle Bar Keepers Friend cleanser onto the wet surface.
3. Using a soft cloth or sponge, gently scrub the cookware until the desired copper color is restored and stains are removed.
4. Wash with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and towel dry immediately.

Using Tarn-X (for copper exterior only)

1. Apply Tarn-X Tarnish Remover to a soft cloth.
2. Gently wipe the tarnished copper exterior of the pan. Do not use this product on the stainless steel interior.
3. Rinse thoroughly with water and wash with warm, soapy water.
4. Towel dry immediately to prevent water spots.

ട്രബിൾഷൂട്ടിംഗ്

• ഫുഡ് സ്റ്റിക്കിംഗ്: Ensure adequate oil or fat is used, and preheat the pan properly before adding food. Stainless steel is not inherently non-stick.
• Discoloration of Copper: This is natural. Refer to the "Maintenance and Care" section for cleaning instructions to restore the shine.
• White Spots/Mineral Deposits: These can occur from hard water. A solution of vinegar and water can help remove them, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
