1. How to clean a new frying pan for the first time
A new pan should be cleaned exclusively with a non-abrasive detergent, a soft sponge, and warm water. It's worth noting that this rule applies to any newly purchased cookware. After wiping the pan with a dry paper towel, grease the dry pan with sunflower or olive oil, and you can cook food.

2. Non-stick pans should not be washed with hot or very cold water
Hot water can damage the non-stick coating, so avoid sudden temperature changes when washing the pan. This also applies to cold water! Also important - you can't wash a hot frying pan that you've just taken off the fire. Allow it to cool and then wash it with warm water and a suitable detergent.

Food that you have cooked in a non-stick frying pan must not be left in it, but must be transferred to a suitable dish after cooking. It is also important to know that under no circumstances should you put the pan with the food in the refrigerator, because the low temperature will damage the non-stick coating. The frying pan is only intended for cooking.

They should not be stacked on top of each other, as this can lead to small scratches. To prevent this from happening, there should be a separate place for the pan in the kitchen, and to avoid damage, cover the pans with sheets of paper or baking parchment.
