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 unintentionally 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 NWTC-1.

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 achieve 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.
