Maintenance cookware
Before use, clean the pots with a bit of water and detergent (without lemon). Don’t use any detergents based on citric acids to clean the products made of stainless steel (those damage the anti-oxidation layer, which can cause corrosive reactions) and especially don’t put them in the dishwasher! Corrosion can be easily removed by means of a good detergent (such as the BergHOFF detergent for stainless steel).
If remains of food stick to the base, you can easily remove them by pouring a bit of water in the casserole and then let them soak off at a low temperature. When it concerns burned remains of food… let the water boil for a while and scratch the remains of the surface by means of a wooden spoon. You can also use special detergents (such as the BergHOFF detergent for stainless steel).
Overheating can cause blue or auburn discolouration which has no influence on the cookware’s features and which can be easily removed by means of a good detergent (such as the BergHOFF detergent for stainless steel).
Never place the casseroles on heated hot plates when they are almost empty or when you’re cooking without water!
Never put casseroles with thermo knobs in the dishwasher! Don’t turn the knobs too hard, either, otherwise they will burst inside. They are good the way they are at purchase. They only have a long lifespan if they are well maintained.
