Care Instructions
Installation: Remove your existing casserole knob by unscrewing it from the underside of the lid. Position the new heart knob on top of the lid and screw it in place from underneath. Ensure it's securely tightened before use. You may need a screwdriver to hold the screw whilst tightening the knob.
During cooking: The stainless steel knob is heat-resistant to 260°C, making it suitable for standard oven use. However, metal conducts heat more readily than phenolic knobs, so this knob will become hot during cooking. Always use oven gloves when handling lids with this knob attached.
Cleaning: Dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. Alternatively, wash by hand in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry. The stainless steel finish is durable and won't be affected by dishwasher detergents or repeated washing.
Storage: Store the knob attached to your casserole lid in a dry place. If storing separately, ensure it's completely dry.
Maintenance: The stainless steel construction is durable and maintains its appearance with normal washing. If the finish begins to show water spots or fingerprints, polish with a soft cloth for a renewed shine.

Le Creuset replacement knobs include the necessary fitting hardware. However, if you're replacing an existing knob, you may be able to reuse the existing screw.
This depends on whether your vintage casserole uses the same screw fitting as current models. Le Creuset's lid fittings have remained fairly consistent, but very old pieces may differ. Measure your current knob and check the fitting mechanism. If in doubt, contact us with details of your casserole and we can advise.
Measure the diameter of your current knob at its widest point. This heart knob is 4.7cm (length) by 4.3cm (width). Le Creuset makes knobs in different sizes for different casserole sizes, so accurate measurement is important for proper fit.
