IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
When using electric appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs, which may be warm. Use
oven mitts.
3. To protect against electric shock do not
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
cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Call
our toll-free customer service number for
examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Hamilton Beach/
Proctor-Silex may cause injuries.
CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter, or touch hot surfaces,
including stove.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot oil
or other hot liquids.
12. Always attach plug to appliance first,
then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any control to MIN
then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
14. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire,
assemble feet before using.
15. Be sure that handle/feet and lid handle
are assembled and fastened properly.
16. See instructions for assembly of
handle/feet and lid handle on page 3.
This appliance is intended for
household use only.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit with the skillet.
This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This
type of plug will only fit into an electrical
outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a
safety feature intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If the plug should
fail to fit contact a qualified electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin, by modifying the plug in any way.
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
an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating
of the skillet. 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. You may now add the food.
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.
• Do not put a large amount of oil in a
hot skillet. When frying, pour oil in
skillet then preheat unit.
• Do not carry or move the skillet when
it contains hot oil or food.
