【Preparation Before Use】 ● When using for the first time, quickly rinse with water, dry thoroughly, add cooking oil and vegetable scraps, stir well, wash the inside thoroughly again, then heat and add cooking oil before use.

● If using the burnt cedar lid, wash it thoroughly before use.

【Precautions for Use】 ● When using for the first time, the oil may not spread evenly, so food may stick, but after 2-3 uses, it will become less likely to stick. Always use cooking oil.

● Use on medium or low heat on a gas stove.

● When using a 200V induction cooktop, avoid rapid heating and use on medium heat.

● May not be compatible with some induction cooktop models. ● Do not use in microwave ovens or conventional ovens. ● Do not store food inside the main unit. After cooking, transfer the food to a separate container for storage. ● If you are concerned about the smell of the burnt cedar lid, boil the lid in water with a few drops of vinegar for a while to eliminate the odor. ● A thin sap may seep from the burnt cedar lid due to the nature of the wood, but it is harmless to humans, so please rest assured. 【Care after use】 ● For cleaning, wash thoroughly with a sponge and mild detergent.

Then remove moisture, dry by heating until completely dry, apply a thin layer of new cooking oil, wipe with a dry cloth, and store away from moisture. ● Do not use steel wool, cleansers, etc.

● If food is burnt, do not scrub with a knife or similar tool. Soak in hot water to soften it, then carefully remove it. 【Care if the paint peels off】 1. Scrub the peeled area with a hard sponge and wash.

2. Wipe off any moisture, then coat the entire inside with cooking oil and heat over low to medium heat until hot. 3. Turn off the heat and let the oil soak in until it cools. *The surface coating is made of safe resin. Even if ingested, it will not be absorbed and will be excreted from the body, so it will not affect the human body. *If any peeled areas rust, scrub them off with a hard sponge, then repeat steps 2 and 3. [Other Precautions] ●Food may occasionally turn black, but this is caused by a compound reaction between iron and minerals in the food and does not affect the human body. ●Rapid drying of the wooden lid can cause cracking.
