SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDED PLUG (Canada Models Only)

This product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only fit into a three-prong outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat this feature. Improper connection of the grounding conductor may
result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.

POLARIZED PLUG (US Models Only)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short detachable power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from

becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if

care is exercised in their use.

c) If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance, and

2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. If the appliance is of the
grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the bottom
cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the bottom cover.
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service
personnel.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

ASSEMBLE BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Place the Skillet Pan upside down on a table or counter and remove the screws. Be sure

the metal washers remain in place over the holes.

2. Position each Handle overhanging the edge of the counter for easier assembly so that the

holes in the Handles line up with the holes in the raised “mounting” area on the bottom
of the Skillet Pan.

NOTE: For models with the Tilt-Leg Feature — decide which side of the Pan you would like
to have raised (see “Tilt-Leg Feature”). We recommend installing the handle with the tilt-leg
on the control side so that juices will flow to the opposite end for easier basting; however,
you may choose either side.

3. Use the screws to secure the Handles to the Skillet Pan. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN as it

may crack the Handles. Turn the Skillet Pan back over and place it on a flat, level surface
to be sure the Handles and Feet sit level.

How To Use

“Conditioning” The Pan

IMPORTANT: Before first use, remove the Control and wash the Skillet Pan and

Lid in soapy water; dry thoroughly. To preserve the nonstick coating, condition the
Pan by spreading a light coating of cooking oil over the inside surfaces. Wipe
away excess oil with a paper towel. Do not use nonstick cooking spray to
condition. You will not have to re-condition again after first use.

NOTE: Only use the Temperature Control provided with this Skillet. Other
controls may fit but will not provide proper performance.

1. Set the Temperature Control to “Off” and push the
Probe firmly into the socket on the Skillet Pan (A).
Be sure the Control is securely inserted. Always attach
the Control to the Pan FIRST before plugging into an
outlet.

2. Preheat the Skillet Pan before adding any grease or
vegetable oil unless the recipe says to add fats first.

Some foods do not require Skillet preheating. Use the charts in this book as a
guide for procedures. To preheat the Skillet, turn the Temperature Control Knob to
the recommended setting. When the Signal Light goes out, the Skillet is preheated.
During cooking, the Signal Light will cycle on and off indicating that the
temperature selected is being maintained.

3. Some recipes call for simmering which means to cook foods in liquid just
below the boiling point. The simmer point varies depending on the type of
liquid and amount of food. To simmer, bring the food or liquid to a boil by
turning the Temperature Control Knob to around 350°F (177°C). When the
liquid begins to boil, slowly turn the Control Knob back until the Signal Light
goes out. Cover and simmer for the length of time necessary. The Light will
cycle on and off frequently to maintain the simmer temperature.

4. While the handles and base “feet” are heat-resistant, do not cook on heat­sensitive surfaces. Once cooking is complete, you can remove the Control to
bring the Skillet Pan to a table for easy serving. To remove, be sure the Control
is unplugged and set at Off. Using a pot holder or mitt, hold the Skillet with
one hand and the pull the Temperature Control out from the Pan with the other.

NOTE: Some counter and table surfaces are sensitive to heat. Take care to avoid
damaging linoleum, vinyl tile, painted or varnished surfaces. Heat-resistant
formica and porcelain enamel surfaces are not affected providing the underside of
the pan is clean. When in doubt, use a heat- resistant pad or hot plate under the
Skillet.

5. Use plastic, rubber, nonstick coated, or wood utensils when cooking and
serving. If using metal utensils, take care not to dig into the nonstick finish.
Do not cut food on the surface using a knife to avoid scratching the nonstick
coating.

6. o prevent accidental burning, use pot holders when touching the Lid and lift it
only by the top handle. Use pot holders and extreme caution when moving the
Skillet if it contains hot liquids.

Tilt-Lid Feature

The Lid is designed with an extended piece featuring
slots that fit onto the back of the Skillet Pan body to
position the Lid at an angle. (B) Use this feature as a
convenient rest position for the Lid when you are
sautéing, stirring, or turning food. In the tilted position,
splatters and condensation will drip back down into the
Pan. Carefully lift the Lid up to remove it from the Pan
edge when done for easy placement on the Skillet.

Lid Vent

The Skillet Lid has a built-in Vent. Slide the Vent open to
allow for escaping steam when crisping or browning. (C)
CAUTION: Be careful if adjusting the Vent when the
Skillet is on to avoid escaping steam and potential burns.

Tilt-Leg Feature (Certain Models Only)

The Tilt-Leg raises one side of the Skillet slightly so that
oils, fats, or other liquids will drain to the opposite side
as they collect. This feature is great for pan broiling and
basting foods while cooking. To use, pull the Leg straight
down so that it stands under the handle. (D) Be careful
not to pull too far as you may break it. CAUTION: Be
careful not to push down on or strain the Tilt-Leg.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service
personnel.

1. Unplug the cord, remove the Temperature Control by pulling it straight out, and

allow the Skillet Pan to cool completely before cleaning. CAUTION: The
Control may be warm after long use so be careful when removing it. WHEN
THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL HAS BEEN REMOVED, the Pan and Lid can
be completely immersed in soapy water or placed in a dishwasher. The Lid is
dishwasher-safe — TOP RACK ONLY. Over time and use, the Lid may discolor:
this is normal.

2. If washing by hand, use a sponge or nylon pad with liquid detergent. Do not
use any abrasive cleaners, coarse cleansers, or metal pads as they may damage
the nonstick coated surface. After washing, dry the Pan thoroughly giving
special attention to the Socket area. Do no use metal pads to clean electrical
pins.

General Temperature Ranges

Warm Setting

Used to keep foods that have been prepared in the Skillet at serving temperature
for a short period of time. Adjust temperature up to keep foods warm for longer
periods of time.

Low Heat – 200°F to 250°F (93°C – 121°C)

Use for warming, simmering, steaming, and gentle boiling. Some foods are started
at higher temperatures then reduced to low heat to finish the cooking process. Use
for cooking special dessert sauces, such as Cherries Jubilee, and puddings.

Medium Heat — 250°F to 325°F (121°C – 163°C)

Use for eggs, bacon, and sausage, or to sauté vegetables such as onions, green
pepper, or mushrooms. Also to cook roasts and other cuts of meat after they have
been browned at higher temperatures.

High Heat — 325°F to 400°F (163°C – 204°C)

Use to brown, sear, pan fry (with fat), and pan broil meats without fat and to stir
fry meats and vegetables (with fat). Breaded foods such as vegetables, meats, fish,
and poultry are pan fried in this temperature range with a small quantity of fat.

Cooking Guides

The cooking temperatures and times in the GUIDES are approximate. You may
have to adjust them depending on food size, quantity, temperature, and personal
taste. Foods at room temperature need less cooking time than foods taken from the
refrigerator. You might need to reduce the temperature/time for small quantities of
food.
