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.

POLARIZED PLUG

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-3A.

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 with a screwdriver 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.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR ELECTRIC SKILLET

-5-

1. Turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to “OFF”. Plug TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE securely into receptacle on skillet, plug into standard 120v AC outlet and turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to desired setting.

2. The TEMPERATURE CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT will come on when you set or adjust the temperature. Once the desired temperature is reached, the indicator light will go out. (When adding food, the indicator light will come on briefly as the overall cooking temperature is reduced.)

3. The cooking temperatures listed in this user manual are estimates. Adjust the cooking temperature slightly up or down to achieve the results you prefer.

4. A STEAM VENT is located on the LID. To open STEAM VENT, carefully pull the tab located on the top of LID. Reverse to close the STEAM VENT. The STEAM VENT allows steam to escape while cooking with the LID in place. CAUTION: Escaping steam is hot! Be careful when removing or lifting LID.

NOTE: If heating oil, always leave the lid off. If oil smokes, immediately turn skillet “OFF” and allow to cool.

HOW TO USE THE LID REST FEATURE

• Hold lid at almost a 90-degree angle and insert LID REST LATCH (on LID) into the cut-out opening in left SIDE HANDLE (opposite side from PROBE GUARD). LID REST LATCH must be inserted between rib on handle and handle itself.
