In order to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, burns or other injury or
damage, follow these instructions carefully. When using electrical appliances,
basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USING.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use

Handles/Legs Assembly.

3. To protect against electrical shock,

do not immerse Temperature
Control Probe, Cord or plugs in
water or other liquids.

4. Close supervision is necessary when

any appliance is used by or near
children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use

and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning the
appliance.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a

damaged Cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Call
Customer Service(see warranty) to
return for examination, repair, or
adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments

not recommended by manufacturer
may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let Cord hang over edge of

table or counter, or touch heated
surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas

or electric burner, or in a heated
oven.

11. Extreme caution must be used

when moving appliance containing
hot oil or other hot liquids.

12. Always attach Temperature Contol

Probe to appliance first, then plug
Cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn Temperature
Control Dial to OFF, then remove
plug from wall outlet.

13. Do not use appliance for other than

intended use.

14. Be sure Lid Handle is assembled

and fastened properly. See assembly
instructions on page 4, “How to
Assemble Your Electric Skillet”.

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

attempt to modify the plug in any way.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not immerse the Electric Skillet
in water with the TEMPERATURE
CONTROL PROBE attached. No user
serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to
service this product.

A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer
cord. AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE

USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE
MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING SHOULD
BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE
ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE SKILLET. The

extension cord should not be allowed
to drape over the counter or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children
or unintentionally tripped over.

KEEP WARM SETTING: The Temperature
Control Probe has a Keep Warm range

setting of approximately 160° to 180° F.
The indicator light will cycle ON and
OFF when this setting is maintaining
the desired temperature. NOTE: During

initial use of this appliance, some slight
smoke and/or odor may be detected. This
is normal with many heating appliances
and will not recur after a few uses. Only
use with Temperature Control Probe
number MPTC-9 or MPTC-9mp.

2. Holding Lid Handle on the outside

top of Lid, align holes in Lid
Handle into holes located
on the outside of the Lid. The Lid
Handle should be centered over

the Transparent Glass Window in
the Lid.

3. Place the Phillips head screws

through screw holes on the inside
of the Lid (2 places).

4. Tighten screws with a screwdriver

until snug. Screws should be seated
flush against Lid surface. The Lid is
now ready for use.

How to Use Your Electric Skillet

Probe securely into receptacle on
skillet, plug Cord into standard 120v
AC outlet and turn Temperature
Control Dial to desired setting.

4. The Temperature Control Indicator

light will come on when you set or
adjust the temperature. Once the
desired temperature is reached, the
Te mperature Control Indicator will
go out. (When adding food, the
Te mperature Control Indicator will
come on briefly as the overall

cooking temperature is reduced.)

5. The cooking temperatures listed in

this user manual are estimates.

slightly up or down to achieve the
results you prefer.

6. A Steam Vent is located on the Lid.

To open Steam Vent, carefully pull
the tab located on the top of Lid.

soapy water and wash with a soft
cloth. Rinse well and dry. All parts,

except the Temperature Control
Probe, Cord and Plug are fully
immersible and dishwasher-safe.

Note: Do Not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or metal scouring pads on
cooking surfaces as this will damage the
