immerse cord, plug, or temperature
control in water or other liquid.

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

WARNING! Shock Hazard: If the plug on

this appliance does not fit in your outlet,

obsolete outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appli­ance was selected to reduce the hazards
of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary a
grounded type 3-wire extension cord may
be used. The electrical rating of the exten­sion cord must be equal to or greater than
the rating of the appliance. Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so that
it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.

Cooking Chart

The skillet is recommended to cook any foods that produce grease. The depth of
the skillet will help reduce spatters and contain the grease.

Cooking times are based on fresh ingredients.

How to Use Your Skillet

1. Always use skillet on a dry, level,

heat-resistant surface.

2. Plug the temperature control into the

skillet. Set temperature control dial
to MIN, then plug cord into a 120
volt outlet.

3. Refer to the Cooking Chart that

follows for selecting the correct
heat setting.

4. Preheat skillet, uncovered, 5 to 10

minutes until desired temperature is
reached.

5. When the indicator light on the

temperature control goes out, the
cooking temperature has been
reached. Food may now be added.
Heat may be increased or
decreased, depending upon
personal preference and the type
or amount of food being prepared.

6. When finished cooking, remove

food, turn temperature control to
MIN, and unplug unit from wall
outlet.

NOTES:

• Only use wooden or plastic cooking
utensils to prolong the life of the
nonstick coating.

• Never use the skillet and the cover in
the oven or microwave, or on the
range top.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of
burns, do not carry or move the
skillet when it contains hot oil or
food.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of
burns due to oil splatter, do not put
a large amount of oil in a hot skillet.
When frying, pour oil in skillet, then
preheat unit.
