KNOW YOUR ELECTRIC SKILLET

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse

the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not

attempt to defeat this safety feature.

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Power Unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service this product. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE

USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE SKILLET. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter

or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or unintentially tripped over. KEEP WARM SETTING: The TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE has a “Keep Warm” range setting of approximately 160° to 180° F. The indicator light will cycle on and off when this setting is maintaining the desired temperature. NOTE: During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses. Only use with Temperature Control Probe number MPTC-5.

ASSEMBLING LID HANDLE

1. Find lid and lid handle.

2. Holding LID HANDLE on the outside top of LID, align holes in lid handle into holes located on the outside of the lid. Handle should be centered over glass in the lid.

3. Place the phillips head screws through screw holes on the inside of the lid (2 places).

4. Tighten screws until snug. Screws should be seated flush against lid surface. The lid is now ready for use.

ASSEMBLING SIDE HANDLES/LEGS

1. Place pan upside down on table.

2. Find one SIDE HANDLE/LEG and mount on the pan side where the probe connects to the pan.

3. Align screw holes in SIDE HANDLE/LEG over the screw posts on pan (2 places per handle).

4. Insert screws (2 per handle) through holes in bottom of SIDE HANDLE/LEG and align screws in holes in the pan.

5. Tighten screws with a screwdriver until snug. Screws should be seated flush against handle.

6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 with the other SIDE HANDLE/LEG.

7. Once both handles are tightened securely, place skillet upright onto its legs. Assembly is complete.

CAUTION: Do not operate skillet prior to assembly of SIDE HANDLES/LEGS and LID HANDLE.

IMPORTANT

Check the side handles/legs of your skillet periodically for looseness. If needed, re-tighten with a screwdriver. CAUTION: Overtightening can result in stripping of screws or cracking of handles and base.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Wash the BASE and LID in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

CAUTION: Do not wash or immerse TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE.

• Before using the skillet for the first time, condition the non-stick cooking surface by lightly brushing the cooking surface with vegetable oil. Heat, uncovered, to 300° F. Turn to “OFF” and cool completely. Wipe away excess oil.

USING YOUR ELECTRIC SKILLET

1. Set the skillet on a flat, dry, heat resistant surface.

2. Set TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to “OFF” and plug TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE into PROBE GUARD on skillet. Plug cord into 120 volt AC outlet.

3. Turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to desired temperature. Indicator light will go off when selected temperature is reached. NOTE: The cooking temperatures listed in this Owner‘s Guide are estimates. Adjust the cooking temperature slightly up or down to acheive the results you prefer.

4. Place food in skillet and cook according to Temperature Guide or your favorite recipe. Adjust temperature according to personal preference and type of food prepared.

5. Use the LID and close the steam vent when a moist-heat cooking method is desired, as for roasting, braising or steaming. When a drier heat is preferred, you may wish to open the steam vent during the last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking. CAUTION: Escaping steam is hot! To avoid escaping steam, lift LID away from you. CAUTION: Skillet is hot! Use hot pads or oven mitts.

6. After food is cooked, set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to “WARM” until ready to serve, or to “OFF” if food is removed immediately.

7. After cooking, turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to “OFF”. Unplug CORD from wall outlet. After skillet has cooled, remove TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE. CAUTION: TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE may be hot.
