SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
This cookware complies with the applicable safety standards, but improper use may lead to damage and/or injury. So please read the entire operating instructions before using your DUROTHERM® cookware, and keep them.

Correct use
DUROTHERM® cookware is intended for cooking and keeping food warm for serving. It can be used on all domestic and restaurant stoves. The double-walled version of this cookware is not intended for use in ovens, due to the insulation effected by the double walls. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by not following the safety instructions and warnings.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
Apart from the replacement of the side grips and the lid knob, no manipulations may be carried out on the pan or the lid, as the double-walled parts must remain perfectly air- and watertight. DUROTHERM® cookware is fitted with an integrated safety element under one of the two grips. If any liquid penetrates into the hollow space, this element will prevent the development of excessive steam pressure (see the Safety element point).

No modifications may be carried out on the safety element, as the seal must be guaranteed. In case of any suspicion of a leakage (see the Safety element point) please contact the nearest KUHN RIKON Service Centre (Kuhn Rikon Worldwide, see Page 57). Never use cookware with loose handles. If you cannot tighten loose handles or grips, send your DUROTHERM® in for repair. 

The grips can become hot, particularly when used with gas and induction hobs. Use a pot holder where necessary. The gas flame protector Art. No. 2080/2081 also reduces the temperature of the grip. Observe in particular the safety instructions marked with a red triangle.

For frying, only half fill your DUROTHERM®. Never heat the oil above 180°C. Never put anything wet in the hot oil. Never leave unattended when frying. In case of fire, NEVER use water for extinguishing. Use a fire blanket to extinguish the flames. Follow the instructions on the oil bottle.
