Additional Important Safeguards

(Cont.)

11. The surfaces of the Ribbed Grill Pan and flat All-Purpose Pan

are made of non-stick Teflon. For this reason, do not use sharp
or metal utensils; use plastic or wooden utensils only. Do not
place Temperature Control onto either pan as it may scratch or
damage the surface. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners to
clean pan surface.

12.Plug this appliance into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet
only. DO NOT plug into any outlet which is currently supply­ing power to any other equipment.

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into 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 modify the plug in any way.

Short Cord Instructions

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension
cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by chil­dren or tripped over unintentionally.

Your MAXIM®Oval Roaster/Grill Pan is designed to roast, grill, sauté, and
cook many types of foods including beef, chicken, pork, seafood, grilled
sandwiches, pancakes, and popped corn. The temperature is thermostati­cally controlled and adjustable from "Warm" to "425˚ F" for precise cooking
every time. The heavy-duty, non-stick Ribbed Grill and All-Purpose Pans
enable food to be cooked without sticking and make clean-up fast and easy.

A smoked, high-impact plastic Lid with venting Lid Knob allows you to
watch as foods deliciously roast and cook. The Lid is loose fitting to allow
steam to escape during cooking. Also, the Lid Knob can be rotated to
increase or decrease the amount of steam filtering through the Steam Vent
in the top of the Lid.

Before Using for the First Time

Before using your MAXIM®Oval Roaster/Grill Pan for the first time, carefully
wash Ribbed Grill Pan, All-Purpose Pan, Lid, and Spatula in hot, soapy
water. Dry all parts thoroughly. If desired, apply a thin coat of cooking oil
to Ribbed Grill Pan and All-Purpose Pan to ease in cooking and clean-up
during next use.

If necessary, wipe the exterior of the Base with a damp cloth. Dry thor­oughly. Be sure Socket Pins in Control Socket remain dry.

CAUTION: Do not immerse or rinse cord, plug, Base, or
Temperature Control in water or any other liquid.

For shipping purposes, the Lid Knob is packaged separately from the Lid.
Before using this product, you must attach the Lid Knob to the Lid.

Lid Knob Assembly

1. Locate Lid Knob assembly. Remove
screw from center post in Lid Knob.

2. While holding center post in place on
Lid Knob, align tab on underside of Lid
Knob with slot in top of Lid. See
Figure 1.

3. From underside of Lid, align hole in
center post with hole in lid. Hand-tighten Lid Knob to Lid with
screw. Do not overtighten screw; this could crack the Lid.

Instructions for Use

Preparing for Use

1. Place Base on flat, level surface where it will not contact any

type of cloth or other flammable objects.

2. Place Ribbed Grill Pan or

All-Purpose

Pan
into opening in Base. See Figure 2. Be
sure Pan is seated properly in Base. For
best performance and to ease in cleaning,
lightly coat interior of Pans with a
vegetable oil spray before use.

Instructions for Use (Cont.)

CAUTION: Do not insert Temperature Control into Control
Socket without first setting Pan onto Base.

CAUTION:

The Temperature Control is a sensitive device; use
care not to drop, hit or impact the Temperature Control against
hard surfaces, as it could affect the temperature reading. Do not
use the Temperature Control if it overheats or is damaged in any
other way.

3. Locate Control Socket. Align probe on

Temperature Control with center hole in
Control Socket. Push Temperature
Control firmly into Control Socket until the
ridge above the Temperature Dial is flush
with the Base. See Figure 3.

4. Turn Temperature Dial to "Off" (unit is off

when "Off" aligns with point on arrow).

5. Plug the Cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.

6. Turn the Dial to desired setting (200˚F - 425˚F). The Temperature

Ready Light will turn on as the dial turns past different tempera­ture settings. This indicates the unit is receiving power.

7. The Oval Roaster/Grill Pan takes approximately 4 to 8 minutes

to preheat, depending on the temperature setting. The unit may
make a "creaking" noise during preheat and at different times
as it maintains the set temperature. This is normal and is due to
the expansion of the parts during the heating process. The
Temperature Ready Light will turn off when the unit has reached
the temperature indicated on the Dial.

Cooking with your Oval Roaster/Grill Pan

WARNING: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam
during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk
of burns, fires, or other injury to persons or damage to property.

CAUTION: Do not use metal or sharp utensils as these can
damage the non-stick surface of the Pan. Do not leave plas­tic utensils on the Pan while it is hot.

1. Turn Temperature Dial to desired cooking temperature and

allow unit to preheat. See "Cooking Guide" or "Recipe Guide"
for suggested cooking times or recipes. Use the Plastic
Spatula or any plastic utensil to place food
on center of Ribbed Grill Pan or

All-Purpose

Pan.

2. For roasting or frying foods, place Lid on

rim of Pan. See Figure 4. The Lid fits loosely
on the rim of the Pan; this allows steam to
escape during cooking. Turn the Lid Knob
to allow more or less steam to escape
through the top steam vent during cooking. Do not force the
Lid Knob past its built-in stop. Use the Lid Knob to remove Lid
and turn foods as necessary to allow even cooking.

3. When cooking is complete, turn Temperature Dial to "Warm"

or "Off." For best results, leave the Lid on or place the Lid on
the Pan. By turning the Temperature Dial to "Warm," foods can
be kept warm inside the Oval Roaster/Grill Pan until serving
time. Do not leave foods to be warmed for long periods of
time—this can reduce the food's flavor.

Remove Lid and use the Plastic Spatula or other plastic utensil
to remove food from Pan.

4. Be sure Temperature Dial is set to "Off." Unplug from outlet

and allow to cool thoroughly before cleaning or removing any
parts.

5. Once appliance has cooled completely, grasp the head of the

Temperature Control and firmly pull it out of Control Socket.

DO NOT pull Temperature Control by the Cord to remove
from Socket. Use Handles to lift Ribbed Grill Pan or

All-Purpose

Pan from Base. Clean the unit as instructed in "User

Maintenance Instructions."
