IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your electric skillet, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• Be sure that lid handles are assembled and fastened properly.

• Do not touch hot surfaces, use handles.

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the temperature controller, cord or plug in water or other liquids.

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

• Unplug the appliance from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow appliance to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning appliance.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return to an Authorized Service Station for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment. You can locate the nearest service center by calling 1.800.334.0759.

• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

• Use extreme caution when moving the appliance if it contains hot oil or any other hot liquid.

• Always attach the temperature controller to the appliance first, then plug into the wall outlet. To disconnect, switch off, remove plug from the wall outlet, then remove the temperature controller from the appliance.

• It is recommended that you do not cook with the Electric Skillet standing on temperature sensitive surfaces.

THIS UNIT IS FOR

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

EXTENSION CORD USE

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR PRODUCTS PURCHASED IN THE U.S. AND CANADA ONLY

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits 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 DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE.

DO NOT CHANGE THE PLUG IN ANY WAY.

INTRODUCTION

CONDITIONING OF THE NON-STICK COATED PAN

Before using your new appliance, wash the inside of the pan with warm, sudsy water and dry. When washing the skillet, make sure the temperature controller is removed. Rub a film of cooking or salad oil all over the non-stick coating on the inside of the pan. Remove any excess oil with a cloth or paper towel.

The OSTER®Electric Skillet is now ready for use and it is unnecessary to condition it again.

USING THE HINGED LID ELECTRIC SKILLET

1. Push the temperature controller firmly into its socket found at the side of the

appliance. Plug into a standard 120 Volt AC outlet.

2. Set the temperature you want by turning the knob on the temperature

controller. The indicator light will come on. Set the temperature of your choice opposite the indicator light. When the light goes off, the chosen cooking temperature has been reached. During cooking, the light will blink on and off indicating the temperature is being maintained. Guidance in the choice of temperatures is supplied later in this book.

3. The capacity of Model SH12 is 16.75 cups / 4.19 quarts / 3.97 liters.

4. It is recommended that you do not cook with the Hinged Lid Electric Skillet

standing on temperature sensitive surfaces.

5. For simmering, set the temperature control knob to 300°F/150°C or

SIMMER and wait until the liquid boils. Turn the knob toward the WARM setting. Set the dial to this point each time SIMMER is specified in a recipe.

6. Do not use metal utensils in your Hinged Lid Electric Skillet as they may

damage the non-stick coating. Wood or plastic coated spatulas are best. If you use plastic tools, make sure they are suitable for use on hot surfaces.

7. To remove the temperature controller, first unplug from the wall outlet,

then wrap your hand around the temperature controller and the quick release latch and squeeze. The controller will automatically release.

CLEANING THE PAN

UNPLUG CORD AND REMOVE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE

Allow the appliance to cool. Wash the pan and lid with hot sudsy water. You can totally immerse the pan or place in the dishwasher. The lid is also dishwasher-safe providing it is placed in the TOP RACK ONLY. DO NOT PLACE LID UPSIDE DOWN IN BOTTOM DISHWASHER RACK. To remove stubborn food residues, use a nylon scourer. NEVER use abrasive powder cleaners or metal scouring pads because these will damage the non-stick coating. After washing, dry the pan thoroughly, while paying particular attention to the electrical socket and pins. DO NOT USE METAL PADS TO CLEAN ELECTRICAL PINS.

STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE

Unplug cord and remove temperature control probe. Allow appliance to cool before storing. Store your Hinged Lid Electric Skillet in a dry location, such as on a tabletop or countertop, or on a cupboard shelf. Wind the electrical cord into a coil and secure with a twist fastener. For convenience, the temperature control probe and cord can then be stored inside the skillet.

Other than recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary.

The hinged lid was specially designed to make preparing and serving food easier.

• To attach the lid, be sure to align the lid hinge so that it slides down onto the matching heating base hinge. (see Fig. 1).

• When raising and lowering the lid, always use the lid lifting handle (see Fig. 2). Note: Lid opens away from the steam.

• To remove the lid, use both hands to gently lift up and remove. (see Fig. 3).
