placed on the following important operating instructions.

Using Your Square Frypan

Before First Use

Before first use, wash, rinse and
dry your frypan and lid. Season
the cooking surface by applying
a thin coating of cooking oil with
paper towelling.

WARNING: Do
not immerse the
power cord, plug or
temperature control
probe in water or any
other liquid.

Ensure that the frypan socket is fully
dry before inserting the temperature
control probe.

Plug the cord into a 230V or 240V
power outlet and then turn the
power on.

Set the temperature control probe to
the desired temperature setting. Refer
to the table below.

The temperature light on the
temperature control probe will
switch off automatically when the
temperature selected has been

reached. The light will cycle ‘ON’
and ‘OFF’ during the cooking
cycle indicating that the selected
temperature is being maintained.

Do not use metal utensils, as these will
scratch the non-stick cooking surface.

Only use wooden or good quality
plastic utensils to stir or serve food.

Do not leave plastic cooking utensils
in contact with the hot frypan surface
while cooking.

NOTE: This frypan must be used
with the temperature control
probe provided. Do not use any
other probe or connector.

The Glass Lid

The glass lid enables you to monitor
your cooking without removing the lid
and losing heat.

Care, Cleaning and Storage

Care

• Do not leave plastic cooking utensils
in contact with the hot frypan surface
while cooking.

• Do not use metal utensils on the non­stick coating of the frypan. Only use
wooden or good quality plastic utensils
to stir or serve food.

• Before cleaning, switch the frypan
to ‘minimum position’ and unplug
from the power outlet. Remove the
temperature control probe when
cooled, from the probe socket of
the appliance.

Cleaning

Temperature Control Probe

• If cleaning is necessary, wipe the
temperature control probe over with
a slightly damp cloth. Ensure it is
completely dry before use.

NOTE: Never immerse the
temperature control probe,
plug or cord in water or any
other liquid.

Non-stick cooking surface

Cooking on a non-stick surface
minimises the need for oil. As food
does not stick, cleaning is easier.

Any discolouration that may occur
on the non-stick surface may detract
from the appearance of the frypan
but will not affect the cooking
performance.

Do not use metal (or other abrasive)
scourers when cleaning the non-stick
coating. Wash with hot soapy water.
Remove stubborn spots with a soft
plastic washing pad or nylon washing
brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

NOTE: To clean the interior
and exterior surface and glass
lid wash in hot soapy water.
Remove stubborn spots with a
plastic washing pad or nylon
washing brush.

Removing discolouration of the
non-stick surface

Combine 2 tablespoons bicarbonate
of soda and 1 cup water.

Pour into the frypan, place the lid on
and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Clean in a well-ventilated area and
avoid breathing in the vapours. Wash
as directed before re-use. In some
instances this may not remove all
the staining.

Glass lid

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

Dishwasher safe

Your frypan and glass lid are dishwasher
safe for easy cleaning. Remove the
probe and power cord before placing
the frypan into the dishwasher.

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