Consignes de sécurité importantes

• Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling the pot during or after cooking, as handles can become hot, especially when used on gas stoves or for prolonged periods.
• Do not heat an empty pot for extended periods, as this can damage the coating and the pot itself.
• Ensure the pot is placed centrally on the hob to ensure even heating and prevent heat from damaging the handles or surrounding surfaces.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing a hot pot under cold water, as this can cause thermal shock and potentially damage the material.
• Tenez les enfants éloignés de la zone de cuisson et des ustensiles de cuisine chauds.
• The pot is heat resistant up to 250°C without the lid, and up to 180°C with the lid. It is not oven safe above these temperatures.
• Do not use metal utensils that could scratch the high-tech ceramic surface. Silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils are recommended.

Installation et première utilisation

1. Déballer: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the cooking pot and lid.
2. Premier nettoyage : Before first use, wash the pot and lid thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse well and dry completely.
3. Assaisonnement (facultatif mais recommandé) : For optimal non-stick performance, especially for the first few uses, lightly coat the interior surface with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil). Heat the pot over low heat for a few minutes, then let it cool and wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel.

Mode d'emploi

Cooking on Various Hobs

Your WMF Fusiontec Compact Cooking Pot is suitable for all types of cookers, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic hobs. The iron steel core base ensures optimal heat retention and energy efficiency.

• Plaques à induction : The pot's base is designed for efficient induction cooking. Ensure the hob size matches the pot's base diameter (22 cm for this 24 cm pot).
• Plaques de cuisson à gaz : Adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the base of the pot to prevent overheating the sides and handles.
• Electric/Ceramic Hobs: Select a hob size that closely matches the pot's base for efficient heat transfer.

Gestion de la chaleur

The Fusiontec material heats quickly and retains heat effectively. Start with medium heat and adjust as needed. High heat is rarely required and can lead to food sticking or scorching. The hollow handles are designed to stay cooler, but always exercise caution.

Utilisation du couvercle en verre

The included glass lid allows you to monitor your cooking without lifting the lid, preserving heat and moisture. The lid is heat resistant up to 180°C.

Entretien et nettoyage

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your WMF Fusiontec cooking pot.

• Refroidir: Always allow the pot to cool completely before cleaning.
• Lavage des mains: For best results and to preserve the finish, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the Fusiontec surface.
• Lavable au lave-vaisselle : The pot is dishwasher safe. However, frequent dishwasher use may dull the exterior finish over time.
• Résidus alimentaires tenaces : If food is stuck, fill the pot with warm water and a small amount of dish soap, let it soak for 15-30 minutes, then clean with a soft sponge.
• Séchage: Séchez soigneusement la casserole après le lavage pour éviter les traces d'eau.
• Stockage: The compact design allows for stackable storage. To prevent scratches when stacking, place a soft cloth or paper towel between pots.
