HOW TO USE YOUR SKILLET
1. 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.
2. 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
cycle during use, indicating the selected temperature is being maintained.
(When adding food, the indicator light will come on briefly as the overall
cooking temperature is reduced.)
3. 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.
4. A steam vent is located on the lid. 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.
NOTE: If heating oil, always leave the lid off. If oil smokes, immediately turn
skillet “OFF” and allow to cool.
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. Wipe probe clean with a dry towel.
3. Immerse the skillet and lid in warm, soapy water and wash with a soft cloth.
4. Rinse well and dry. All parts, except the temperature control probe, are fully
immersible and dishwasher-safe.
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.
