Main risks

• Burns from contact with the tray, hot fat or juices.
• Smoke or flare-up due to fat spills, build-up of residues or baking parchment touching heating elements.
• Breakage or deformation due to sudden temperature changes, with possible shattering and ejection of fragments in glass or ceramic models.
• Cuts from sharp edges or from trays that are warped, cracked or chipped.
• Falls or tipping when removing the tray if it is heavily loaded or slips.
• Damage to worktops or tables when placing a hot tray down without heat-resistant protection.

Safe use

• Follow the manufacturer’s temperature and usage instructions; do not overheat the tray or place it too close to the grill.
• Always use dry oven gloves and hold with both hands; check there are no liquids that could splash.
• Place the tray centred and stable on the oven shelf, without overhanging.
• Do not overfill; leave a clear rim to prevent spills of sauces or grease.
• Use suitable baking parchment or mats where appropriate and avoid them touching heating elements or hot walls.
• When removing from the oven, set the tray down on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
• Avoid pouring cold liquids onto a hot tray to prevent thermal shock.

Storage and maintenance

• Allow to cool completely before cleaning; do not immerse it hot in cold water.
• Wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent; avoid scouring pads or abrasive products that may scratch the coating.
• Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent corrosion and odours.
• Check periodically for warping, cracks, dents or flaking coatings; if you detect damage, stop using it.
• If stacking several trays, place protectors between them to prevent scratches and warping.
• Store in a dry, well-ventilated place, protected from knocks.

Restrictions of use

• Do not use metal trays in the microwave.
• Do not use it over direct flame, on hobs, grills or barbecues unless the product expressly states otherwise.
• Do not cut food directly on the tray or use sharp metal utensils.
• Do not use caustic cleaners, stripping agents or wire wool that could damage the surface.
• Do not use the tray if it shows cracks, dents, warping or a flaking coating.
• Do not subject it to sudden temperature changes (for example, from the freezer to the oven, or immersing it hot in cold water).
• Keep children and pets away during use and until it has cooled completely.
