PARTS AND FEATURES

1. Tempered glass lid allows viewing and monitoring of foods without the need to lift the lid.

2. Non-stick stone ﬁnish coating is durable and easy to clean.

3. Cast in heating elements distribute heat evenly.

4. Cool touch handles and knobs for safer cooking.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE

FEATURES AS FOLLOWS:

1. Trigger release for easy removal.

2. Temperature selector

3. Built-in thermostat

NOTE: The light on the control probe will illuminate and will remain on until the set temperature is reached. It will then cycle on and o throughout cooking, as the temperature is maintained by the thermostat. On initial heating of the frypan, it is recommended that the temperature be allowed to cycle (the light cycling on and o) several times. This will help the cooking surface to adjust to a more accurate cooking temperature.

TRIGGER RELEASE CONTROL PROBE

The probe is thermostatically controlled and incorporates an indicator light which switches o automatically when the temperature selected has been reached and then cycles on and o to indicate that the selected temperature is being maintained.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before ﬁrst use, the frypan must be cleaned. Ensure the temperature control probe is not attached to the frypan during the cleaning process. Wash your frypan and lid with hot water and mild detergent. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Your frypan is now ready for use.

2. Season the cooking surface by applying a thin coat of cooking oil and rub in with paper toweling.

3. Insert the control probe into the inlet on the side of the frypan.

4. Plug the power cord into the power outlet and turn on.

5. Set the temperature control probe to the desired temperature setting.

WARNING: Do not place extremely cold / frozen foods or liquids into a hot frypan

as it may result in excessive steam, spitting and spattering causing personal injury.

CLEANING & CARE

1. Medium and low heat settings will yield the best results for most types of cooking. Heating the frypan gradually will ensure even heat distribution. Do not use your frypan on maximum temp settings as this will shorten the life of the non-stick coating.

2. Do not allow your frypan to boil dry as this may cause damage to the non-stick surface.

3. The frypan is suitable for use with wood, nylon and plastic utensils. Do not use steel utensils as they may scratch the non-stick surface. Scratching of the nonstick surface is not covered by warranty.

CLEANING

1. Allow the frypan to cool thoroughly after using. Exposing your frypan to water whilst hot may cause warping and/or damage.

2. Once cooled, ﬁlling the frypan with water and allowing it to soak will assist in the removal of tough baked on particles.

3. When washing, non-abrasive cloths and plastic bristle kitchen brushes may be used to remove stubborn food particles from your frypan. Do not use abrasive cloths and cleaning materials as they may damage the non-stick surface.

4. The Frypan and lid are fully immersible and can be washed in warm soapy water using a mild household detergent and a soft washing sponge. For added convenience, they can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

5. Ensure both probe and frypan are completely dry before inserting probe into frypan for use.

6. Should your frypan require cleaning of stubborn stains and build-up, the following method is recommended:

***Combine: 2 tablespoons bicarbonate of soda and 2 teaspoons water***

i). Pre-heat the frypan for approximately 1-1.5 minutes on setting 150 degrees

celcius.

ii). Turn the power OFF at the power outlet, remove the plug from the power

outlet and remove probe from frypan.

iii). Brush the above paste solution onto the non-stick surface and allow to stand

for one hour.

iv). Wash the frypan in warm soapy water using a mild household cleaner and a

soft washing sponge.

7. Ensure frypan is dried thoroughly and stored in a dry place away from steam and humidity where possible.

DANGER: Do not under any circumstances immerse the power cord, mains plug or

temperature control probe in water or any other liquid.

WARNING: Do not place the temperature control probe in the dishwasher.

TROUBLESHOOTING

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

If the frypan fails to operate:

1. Make sure the frypan is plugged in correctly and securely, and that the temperature probe is not on “OFF” setting. If it is not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug it back in securely.

2. Check for a blown or tripped circuit breaker in your home. If these seem to be working correctly, test another appliance in the same outlet to ensure the outlet is working correctly.

IF NONE OF THE ABOVE SOLVES THE PROBLEM, DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE FRYPAN YOURSELF.
