What this mark means

An oven-use symbol identifies suitability for oven exposure within the manufacturer’s specified limits. Use the stated maximum temperature and check lids, seals and any excluded heating modes.

Before using this resource

  1. Use the stated maximum temperature and check lids, seals and any excluded heating modes.
  2. Obtain the approved usage artwork from the product supplier; icon styles are not universal.
  3. Keep the supplier’s documented use conditions with the packaging proof.

A detail worth checking

An oven-safe base may have a lid that is not oven-safe. Microwave use and oven use are separate claims.

Useful to know

Is there one universal oven-safe symbol?

Manufacturers use different drawings and conditions. Read the exact product’s instructions rather than relying on a similar-looking icon.

Does downloading the artwork give me permission to use it?

Use the responsible organisation’s specification and any applicable licensing terms. A reference image does not establish product approval.
