SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

No user-serviceable parts inside. 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.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock,

this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way.

If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the

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

Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely

into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

CAUTION: Some countertops are more sensitive to heat, use care not to place
skillet or SKILLET PAN on surfaces where heat may cause damage.

ELECTRIC POWER: If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, skillet
may not operate properly. Skillet must be operated on a separate circuit from
other operating appliances.

HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC SKILLET

Before use, wash the SKILLET PAN and LID in warm soapy water or in the
dishwasher and dry completely.

CAUTION: Do not immerse HEATING BASE in water or other liquids.

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

2. Make sure that the SKILLET PAN is sitting securely on the HEATING BASE.
If the SKILLET PAN is not secure on the HEATING BASE, the product may not
function properly.

3. Turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to “OFF”. Plug skillet into standard 120V
AC outlet and turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to desired setting, by align­ing the temperature with the POWER INDICATOR LIGHT. The POWER
INDICATOR LIGHT will come on and remain on while the TEMPERATURE
CONTROL DIAL is on the WARM or higher settings. Warm Setting: WARM
is recommended for keeping already hot, fully cooked food at the perfect
serving temperature. We do not recommend using the WARM setting for
more than 4 hours.

HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC SKILLET (CONT.)

4. Preheat the skillet with the LID on for 10 -15 minutes.
NOTE: Due to manufacturing process, 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.

5. 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 required when handling the LID or SKILLET PAN.

6. When cooking is complete turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to “OFF”.

7. Prior to removing pan from HEATING BASE, turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL
DIAL to “OFF” and remove plug from wall outlet.

8. The SKILLET PAN can be removed from the HEATING BASE and placed in the
oven for baking or roasting. The LID must be removed when using the SKILLET
PAN in the oven.

9. The SKILLET PAN can be used as a serving piece.
When placing the SKILLET PAN on a countertop,
kitchen table or other surface, place a hot plate
or trivet that measures at least 3/8" high under
the pan to prevent burning or discoloration of
the surface.
