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 t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not t, contact a qualied 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.
Before the First Use
As received, your skillet will be in its storage position with the base and cover nested inside the pan. Remove all packing
material and then wash the skillet according to the “Care and Cleaning” instructions at the top of page 3.
Important: Before using your skillet, it must be fully assembled as instructed below:
1. Place the removable base on a at surface with the rubber feet down. The
Presto logo should be right side up and facing you. Lift the handles and
fold them out to the fully extended position (Fig. A).
2. Set the skillet pan onto the base so the supports t into the recessed areas
on the base (Fig. B).
3. Attach the base to the pan by rotating the handles towards the pan until you

How To Use
1. Place assembled skillet on a dry, level, heat resistant surface.
2. If desired, “season” the nonstick cooking surface by rubbing lightly with
cooking oil. Remove excess oil with a paper towel.
3. Insert the Control Master
®
heat control probe into the skillet so the two
Supports
electrical pins on the skillet are fully inserted into the heat control. Connect
cord to outlet.
4. Turn Control Master
®
heat control to desired temperature (see page 4 for
cooking temperatures). Remove cover and preheat skillet. Pilot light goes
off when selected temperature is reached (this takes approximately 5 to
10 minutes).
Note: As the skillet heats up, you may hear a clicking sound; 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.
5. Prepare food for cooking. Because the skillet features a nonstick nish, food may be prepared with little or no oil.
6. Place food in skillet and cook according to the temperature-timetable (page 4). 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. 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 for the handles when steam is venting from the spout. Contact with steam can cause burns.
7. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet then from appliance. Allow
skillet to cool before cleaning.
