I can feel scratch-like marks or uneven bumps on the surface of my new cast iron pan; is it safe to use as is?

You may be concerned that the product is defective because the surface of your newly purchased cast iron product is not smooth and has noticeable scratches or rough, uneven bumps.

hmmm editorial answer

These are natural marks formed during the casting process where molten cast iron is poured into a mold and solidified, so it is not a defect and you can use it for cooking with confidence.

Why should I use wooden or silicone utensils instead of metal cooking utensils on the stainless steel handle frying pan?

Because the handle is made of stainless steel, it is easy to assume it is a hard, sturdy piece of cookware, but the user guide recommends wooden or silicone utensils. Seeing care instructions that differ from its appearance makes one wonder why.
