CLEANING COOKWARE
General Cleaning Guidelines
• Never place a hot pan in cold or even
warm water to soak or clean.
• To remove heavy or burnt on residue,
allow cookware to cool to lukewarm and
wash with warm or hot sudsy water. Rinse
well before hand washing or placing in
dishwasher.
• If hand washing, use liquid dishwashing
detergent with a sponge, nylon pad or
dish cloth when cleaning cookware. A
non-abrasive polishing cleanser may
also be used for stains. Do not use oven
cleaner, harsh detergents, chlorine bleach,
steel wool or other abrasive cleaning
pads.
• Remove any spotted white film or multi-
colored film (caused by minerals in water)
with a mild solution of water and lemon
juice or vinegar.
• Overheating a pan may cause brown or
blue stains on your cookware. Polishing
may remove these stains. To polish the
exterior of your pans, use a stainless steel
cleaner with a soft cloth and rub with a
circular motion. Wash, rinse, and dry

• Avoid extreme temperature changes
when using glass lids.
• Do not submerge a hot lid in cold
or lukewarm water. This extreme

crack.

to remove the lid. First, turn off the heat
source and move the entire pan away
from the burner. Then, slowly release the
lid.

handles and knobs to be sure they are not
loose. If the handles become loose, do
not try to repair them. Contact KitchenAid
