Therefore, extra care must be taken to reduce the heat setting as excessive heat will damage the pan and this may not be covered by your guarantee.Only use high heat or boost settings for boiling large quantities of water (e.g. for pasta).Reduce the heat setting as soon as the desired temperature has been achieved.Do not use the boost setting to heat oil or fat.Never heat an empty pan - the high output from an induction hob may damage the pan which is not covered by the guarantee.Step 3: Cleaning those difficult bitsIf there are any burnt-on-bits on pans, soak the pan in hot soapy water to loosen then wash as normalDo not use steel wool or metal pads as they will scratch the surface of the cookware. Although they will not damage how the pan functions, they may affect the general aesthetic of the cookware.By following these guidelines your cookware will last for many years of happy use and will keep your guarantee intact.
