Care and Use:

• Before first use, wash and dry your items;
• If using the dishwasher, always allow the wash cycle to reach its end before removing the items;

• Avoid putting items into a preheated oven directly from the fridge or freezer. Defrosting and heating should be done gradually;
• When using your item in the oven, place them in the centre of the oven on a rack;
• Avoid placing your items directly on top of heat sources such as flame or electric stoves and cooktops;
• When using the dishwasher, avoid placing your items in direct contact with others; 
• We recommend hand washing larger and/or more delicate items;
• Avoid dragging and sliding the items on/over each other so as not to scratch the surface.

Should your items have gold:

• Avoid storing your pieces inside their packages, to avoid gold oxidation;
• In case of oxidation, you can clean your item with a soft, dry flannel and/or with a mild metal cleaning product (before use, we recommend that the cleaning product be tested on a small area of your item). Wash and dry thoroughly to remove traces of the cleaning product.
• Avoid using items with gold in the microwave. As gold is a metal, it may give off sparks when in contact with your microwave’s electromagnetic radiation and in turn, damage your equipment. 
• We recommend hand washing the items with soft sponge or pad and mild detergents.
• If you choose to wash in a dishwasher, we recommend using short cycles at low temperatures.
