CARE & CLEANING

CARE

• Do not leave plastic cooking utensils in

contact with the hot frypan surface while cooking.

• Before cleaning, switch the frypan to the

large dot and unplug from the power outlet. Remove the temperature control probe when cooled from the probe socket of the appliance.

CLEANING

Stainless steel cooking surface

The high quality 18/10 stainless steel cooking surface is designed for durability. To keep your stainless steel cooking surface in optimum condition and to achieve the best results, follow these simple instructions:

• Use sufﬁcient oil when sautéing, pan

frying and roasting to prevent food sticking. Two to three tablespoons is generally sufﬁcient.

• Do not use high temperatures to brown

and seal meat as this will cause it to stick. Use settings 10-14.

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or

metal scourer pads as continued use will scratch the stainless steel surface and make subsequent cleaning more difﬁcult. It is recommended to use nylon scrubbing brushes or plastic scouring pads.

• To remove burnt on food, ﬁll the pan

with approx 1" of water, heat the water in the pan till it boils, then turn off and leave to soak for 30 minutes. If burnt on food does not soften and lift off, leave frypan with water in it to soak overnight. Removing stubborn stains: A stainless steel powder cleaner can be used on stubborn stains on the stainless steel cooking surface only. Alternatively, a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water can be rubbed into the stained area and then thoroughly washed off.

NOTE

It is recommended that the cooking surface be re-seasoned after cleaning.

GLASS LID

Wash the lid in warm soapy water using a soft sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly.

NOTE

Take care when the glass lid is hot. Do not place hot lid under cold water or on cold surfaces. This may cause the lid to break.

DISHWASHER SAFE

The lid and cooking pan, are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. The recessed heating element is completely sealed so it is safe to immerse in water. The frypan may also be washed in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.

NOTE

Before inserting the temperature control probe into the frypan socket, ensure the interior of the frypan socket is fully dry. To do this, shake out excess water then wipe the interior of the socket with a dry cloth.
