When properly maintained and cleaned, your Swiss Diamond cookware will provide a lifetime of unsurpassed nonstick performance and easy clean convenience. Always be sure to follow the Use & Care instructions. Failure to follow these guidelines will void the Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Use Low to Medium Heat:

High heat is never required because of the high thermal conductivity of SWISS DIAMOND cookware. Start with medium heat and adjust accordingly. Always place your pan on the center of the heating surface. Caution: Overheating can damage the cooking surface.

Preheating:

We recommend preheating your pan on low-medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes before adding food. To test if the pan is hot enough, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface. If the water sizzles or beads, the pan is ready. If the water evaporates instantly, turn the heat down and test again in 3 minutes. There is no need to preheat an empty pan longer than 5 minutes.

High heat is never required due to the thermal conductivity of SWISS DIAMOND cookware. Ensure pan is placed in the center of the heating element. Overheating can cause permanent damage to the nonstick surface.

Cooking With Oil:

Designed with healthy cooking in mind, Swiss Diamond allows cooking with little to no oils or butter. Ensure you always use a proper heat setting and avoid cooking on high which can cause overheating. In addition, never use nonstick sprays as they will permanently adhere to the nonstick surface.

Proper Utensils:

Silicone and wooden tools are recommended – metal utensils should not be used. Any tool with a sharp point or edge should not be used. Do not chop or cut food in the pan. If using an immersion blender or electric beater, take care not to touch the sides or bottom of the pan as this will compromise the integrity of the nonstick surface and void the warranty.

Oven Use:

Swiss Diamond cookware is oven safe up to 500°F (260°C). The handles will get hot under these conditions – always use pot holders when removing pans from the oven.

Cleaning:

Before using for the first time, wash cookware thoroughly with hot, soapy water and a soft sponge.

To maintain cooking efficiency, it is important that your cookware be thoroughly cleaned after each and every use with hot, soapy water and a nylon scouring pad. Do not use abrasive detergents, oven cleaners or metal scouring pads which may affect the quality of the nonstick surface. Although your cookware may be cleaned in the dishwasher, we recommend washing by hand as hard water, caustic detergents and high heat can cause oxidation on the base of your pan along with bleaching on the nonstick surface. Over time, this can cause the pan to permanently lose its nonstick abilities. Using caustic or abrasive cleaners will void the manufacturer warranty.

In addition, when any cookware is not cleaned properly, thin layers of food particles remain on the surface and may become carbonized when reheated. Carbonized layers can create a brownish hue and cause the pan to permanently lose its nonstick abilities.

Storing:

If you’re a nesting the pans in your cupboard, we recommend placing a paper or kitchen towel between each pan to prevent scratching. This will also prevent the rim of the pan from wearing and/or peeling.

Additional Maintenance:

From time to time, the handle might require tightening on the HD and XD cookware. With a #2 Phillips head screwdriver, you can tighten the screw which is located underneath the handle in the recessed area.
