SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 long 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 tripped over unintentionally.

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 in use to indicate that the skillet is maintaining the desired temperature.

IMPORTANT

Check the 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.

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

2. Turn temperature control to “OFF”. Plug temperature control probe securely into receptacle on skillet, plug into standard 120v AC outlet and turn temperature control to desired setting.

3. 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.)

4. Preheat the skillet with the lid on for 10 – 15 minutes or until the indicator light goes out. NOTE: The cooking temperatures listed in this user manual are estimates. Adjust the cooking temperature slightly up or down to achieve the results you prefer.

5. A steam vent is located on the base of the lid handle. To open steam vent, turn vent so that the opening on the vent knob is facing to the rear. 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. Oven mitts are recommended when removing cover from skillet base or when replacing it.

HELPFUL HINTS

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

• Use only nylon or heat-proof plastic cooking utensils. Metal utensils may scratch the non-stick surface.

• This skillet is not designed to deep fry. To pan-fry, do not use more than 1 cup of oil. Select a vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying, Butter and olive oil should only be used to sauté foods on a lower temperature setting.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SKILLET

CAUTION: Skillet is hot. Handle carefully.

1. Always allow the skillet to completely cool before cleaning.

2. Unplug cord from wall outlet, then remove temperature control probe from

appliance. CAUTION: The probe on the temperature control piece could be hot. Wipe probe clean with a dry towel.

3. Immerse the skillet and lid in warm, soapy water and wash with a soft cloth. Rinse well and dry. All parts, except the temperature control probe, are fully immersible.

NOTE: Do Not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or metal scouring pads on cooking surfaces as this will damage the non-stick coating.

WARNING: Do not immerse temperature control probe in water or other liquid.

NOTE: If heating oil, always leave the lid off. If oil smokes, immediately turn

skillet “OFF” and allow to cool.
