Before Your First Use

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wolfgang Puck Saucepan
Stirrer. You have selected an innovative product designed to supply you
with much needed assistance at your kitchen stove. By supplying stirring
action for the heated ingredients in your saucepan, this stirrer provides a
unique and important culinary function. It also creates free time for you to
spend preparing other foods or simply relaxing.

Your Saucepan Stirrer has adjustable, spring loaded arms with extended
pan sidewall clips that will fit saucepans between 6" and 81.2" in width, which
typically measures 1-. to 4-1/2 liquid quarts. The shaft and three paddles
have been designed for flexible use on any saucepan with a depth
between 2-. and 5", again typically measuring 1-. to 4-. liquid quarts.

Any of the three paddles may be easily changed to provide optimum
performance on different size saucepans. Each paddle has a designed plow
and hinged section at its tip to allow for stirring in the corners. Because
stovetop heat may present safety problems for electrical appliances,
your Saucepan Stirrer has been designed to run on four AA batteries. The
paddle will rotate 10 to 12 times per minute and has impressive torque.

Depending upon the quality of battery that you select and the consistency
of the food ingredients you are stirring, the four AA batteries will last between
3 and 4 hours. When using the intermittent setting (12 seconds on and 12
seconds off) your battery life will typically double.

Your Saucepan Stirrer has been specifically designed to fold up for convenient
storage in any kitchen drawer. The shaft and paddles are top shelf dishwasher
safe. Please enjoy the use of your Saucepan Stirrer and plan to spend far
less time over your stove!

Wolfgang Puck, owner of the famous Spago restaurants and one of

the most influential chef-restauranteurs in America, is credited with reviving
California’s rich culinary heritage. His cooking innovations, a result of
blending fresh California ingredients with his classical French techniques,
are enjoyed by world leaders, stars and fellow chefs alike. He established
other trend-setting restaurants like Postrio in San Francisco, Chinois on Main
in Santa Monica, Granita, Vert and Trattoria del Lupo. Home chefs can
also share Mr. Puck’s talents through his cookbooks and, of course,
through his appliances!

Properly Assembled

Saucepan Stirrer

5 Easy Steps for

hands-free Saucepan Stirring

1 Insert four AA batteries and close the battery

cover. Place your ingredients into an
UNHEATED saucepan. Take your Saucepan
Stirrer and slightly rotate the grooved cylinder
clockwise at the bottom.

2 Turn until the arms release. Allow the three side

arms with the stainless steel guards to drop
down below the horizontal position. Now rotate
back the grooved cylinder at the bottom of
your Saucepan Stirrer counterclockwise until
you feel it lock back into place. The arms are
now in the proper locked position to place onto
your saucepan.

3 Place the silicone splash guard on the

bottom of the locking dial. This soft plastic
silicon cover fits snugly over the unit base for
easy clean-up and is dishwasher safe.

4 Select the correct paddle and attach

paddle to the stainless steel shaft aligning the
groove at the bottom of the shaft with the
middle of the paddle. Holding the paddle
end of the shaft, insert the shaft up through
the hole in the middle of the main unit.

5 Push up until the shaft emerges at the top of

the unit. The three paddle sizes can be used
on saucepans from 6" to 8 1/2” (roughly 1-1/2
to 4-1/2 quarts.

To Remove

the Saucepan Stirrer

When removing your Saucepan Stirrer from your saucepan, turn the unit
OFF. Place one hand on the main unit and your other hand on one of the
extended heat resistant handles on the outside of the arms. Simply pull out
one extended handle and then lift the main unit up.

This action will pop the other two arms off the side of the saucepan. Then
pull the main unit off and remove the shaft and paddle. Rotate the grooved
cylinder clockwise at the bottom to release arms. Fold arms up and rotate
grooved cylinder counter clockwise at the bottom until you feel it lock into
place. Your Saucepan Stirrer is now ready to be stored in a utensil drawer.

CAUTION: AVOID TOUCHING HOT METAL SURFACES.

clips will hold the arms in place. Push down
the top of the shaft if the paddle has not
lowered automatically to the bottom of your
saucepan. Turn the unit on. You can now
heat your saucepan. Be careful to control
