IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Be sure that handles and legs are assembled and fastened properly before using this appliance (see page 2).
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
4. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot liquid. If it must be moved when it contains
hot oil or other hot liquid, use extreme caution.
5. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse heat control, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
7. 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.
8. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or in the event the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Do not operate if the handles or legs become cracked or damaged. Return the appliance to the Presto Factory Service
Department (see page 4) for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

Important Cord Information
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.
A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of
the extension cord should 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.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
How to Assemble
1. Place the skillet upside down on a table or counter.
2. Remove the four screws from the mounting projections on the skillet body.
3. Position the leg handle assemblies on the skillet, lining up the holes in the legs with the mounting
projections on the skillet.
4. Replace the screws and fasten securely (Fig. A). When properly assembled, the skillet should sit level.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten screws, once secure, can result in stripping of screws or cracking of
handles or legs.
5. Attach the cover handle to the cover. Remove the two screws from the handle. For easiest alignment,
hold the handle so the screw holes are facing up. Position the inverted cover over the handle and align
the cover holes with the handle holes. Insert the two screws through the holes. Using a Phillips type screwdriver, fasten handle to
cover until it is secure. NOTICE: Continuing to tighten screws, once secure, can result in stripping of screws or cracking of handle
or cover.

NOTICE: This skillet is not intended to be used as a warming tray, hot plate, or for heating any cookware. Using this product for purposes
different from those specified in the instruction manual may cause damage to the product and will void the product warranty.
How to Use
Before using for the first time, wash the skillet and cover in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control Master heat
control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
1. Place skillet on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from walls, cabinets, and other objects. NOTICE: To prevent possible heat
damage to your countertop, place a heat-resistant counter protector, such as aluminum foil, under the skillet; take care not to place
the foil under the legs.
2. Insert the Control Master heat control probe into the skillet so the two electrical pins on the skillet
are fully inserted into the heat control. Connect cord to a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
3. Turn Control Master heat control (Fig. B) to desired temperature (see temperature-timetable on
page 3). Remove cover and preheat skillet. Pilot light goes off when selected temperature is reached
(this takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes).
Note: Occasionally you may hear a pop or clicking sound while the skillet is preheating; this is due
to the expansion of the metal as it heats. It is normal. You may also notice this sound as the unit
cools down.
4. Prepare food for cooking. Because the skillet features a nonstick surface, food may be prepared with little or no oil.
NOTICE: Avoid using no-stick cooking sprays as they may cause the cooking surface to become tacky.
5. Place food in skillet and cook according to temperature-timetable. Heat should be adjusted according to personal preference and
particular food being cooked. During cooking, pilot light will go on and off indicating desired temperature is being maintained. The
pouring spout may be used as a handy spoon rest and spatula holder during cooking.
For best results use heat-resistant nylon, plastic, or wooden utensils in the skillet. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the
nonstick surface and also become hot if left in the skillet during cooking. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.
CAUTION! When the cover is placed on the skillet and the contents are boiling, it is normal for some steam to vent from the pour
spout. Do not reach over pour spout when steam is venting. Contact with steam can cause burns.
6. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet, then from appliance. Allow skillet to
cool before cleaning.

Care and Cleaning
After each use, remove heat control and wash the skillet in warm, soapy water. Make sure to also clean the underside, as necessary. Rinse
and dry thoroughly. The nonstick surface may be cleaned with a non-metal cleaning pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub
Sponge or Scotch-Brite* Dobie* Cleaning Pad. Firm pressure can be applied. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners. Do
not immerse the Control Master heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
NOTICE: If you choose to wash the skillet in the dishwasher, the bottom will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher
detergent. A gray residue may also form on the skillet bottom which may transfer onto towels and/or skin.
In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element. To remove this discoloration, use a solution of 2 tablespoons of automatic dishwasher detergent powder and 2 cups of water; this can be doubled for 16-inch skillets. Bring the water to a boil in the skillet
and then reduce the heat to simmer level (between the WARM setting and 200º) by turning the heat control down until the pilot light goes
out. Slowly stir in the dishwasher detergent. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Drain the solution and wash the skillet in warm, soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. After treating the skillet, it is recommended that the cooking surface be wiped lightly with vegetable
oil before using.
Periodically check the screws on the cover handle and skillet handles for looseness. Retighten, if necessary. NOTICE: Continuing to
tighten, once secure, can result in stripping of screws or cracking of handles and legs.
IMPORTANT: To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master
Glass Cover Care and Use Instructions
CAUTION! Your glass cover may break for no apparent reason if you fail to follow these instructions. Broken glass can cause personal
injury or property damage.
Do not use cover if it is chipped or cracked. Handle cover carefully and avoid rough handling.
Do not handle hot cover with wet towel or place hot cover on a cold or wet surface. Sudden, extreme changes in temperature may cause
glass to break. Allow cover to cool before washing. This cover is dishwasher safe. Keep the cover clean.
Do not use steel wool cleaning pads or abrasive powders which can scratch or weaken the glass. Nonabrasive pads or powders may be
used if necessary. Do not scrape or gouge glass with hard or sharp utensils.

Simmering
§
In an electric skillet, foods will heat to simmering at some point between the WARM setting and 200°. Heat the skillet at 350° until the
food boils; then place cover on pan and reduce the heat to simmer level by turning the heat control down until the pilot light goes out.
Braising or Pot Roasting
This cooking method involves browning food, usually meat or vegetables, in oil, butter, etc. and then simmering in a small amount of
liquid over low heat. To brown meat or vegetables, use a temperature between 325° and 350°. After browning, simmer as instructed above.
