Removing a mineral film
See under “Hints For Care And Use Of Non-Stick Surface”, Page 7.
Special cleaning note:
ƒ
After consistent or long time use, the non-stick surface may slightly discolor. This is
normal if tiny stains occur, which will not affect the performance of the skillet. Dark
and widespread staining may also occur if improperly cleaned or overheated.
Never use household bleach to clean for it will permanently fade the non-stick finish.
ƒ
HINTS FOR CARE AND USE OF NON-STICK SURFACE
1. To avoid scratching the non-stick surface, do not stack objects on surface.
2. Use medium to low heat for best cooking results. Very high temperatures can cause
discoloration and shorten the life span of any non-stick surface. If higher
temperatures are necessary, preheat on medium for a few minutes.
3. Use only nylon plastic or wooden utensils with care to avoid scratching the non-stick
surface. Never cut food on the griddle.
4. Remove stubborn stains with a plastic scouring pad and mild dish washing liquid.
5. Removing a Mineral film. A spotted white film may form on the non-stick surface.
This is a buildup of minerals from water and is not a defect is the finish. To remove,
soak a soft cloth in lemon juice or vinegar and rub onto the finish. After cleaning
wash, rinse and dry.
