How to Assemble Your Electric Skillet
Assembling Lid Handle

2. Holding Lid Handle on the outside
top of Lid, align holes in Lid
Handle into holes located
on the outside of the Lid. The Lid
Handle should be centered over
the Transparent Glass Window in
the Lid.
3. Place the Phillips head screws
through screw holes on the inside
of the Lid (2 places).
4. Tighten screws with a screwdriver
until snug. Screws should be seated
flush against Lid surface. The Lid is
now ready for use.
How to Use Your Electric Skillet
1. Clean unit thoroughy. See “How to
Clean Your Electric Skillet” Section.
2. Before using the skillet for the first
time, lightly brush cooking surface
with vegetable oil. Heat, uncovered,
to 300°F. Turn OFF and cool.
3. Turn Temperature Control Dial to
OFF. Plug Temperature Control
Probe securely into receptacle on
skillet, plug Cord into standard 120v
AC outlet and turn Temperature
Control Dial to desired setting.
4. The Temperature Control Indicator
light will come on when you set or
adjust the temperature. Once the
desired temperature is reached, the
Temperature Control Indicator will
go out. (When adding food, the
Temperature Control Indicator will
come on briefly as the overall
cooking temperature is reduced.)
5. The cooking temperatures listed in
this user manual are estimates.
Adjust the cooking temperature
slightly up or down to achieve the
results you prefer.
6. A Steam Vent is located on the Lid.
To open Steam Vent, carefully pull
the tab located on the top of Lid.
Reverse to close the Steam Vent.
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.
Remove all parts from the packaging.
Caution: Skillet is hot. Handle carefully.
1. Always allow the unit to completely
cool before cleaning.
2. Unplug Cord from wall outlet, then
remove Temperature Control Probe
from appliance. Wipe
Temperature Control Probe clean
with a dry towel.
3. Immerse the unit and Lid in warm,
soapy water and wash with a soft
cloth. Rinse well and dry. All parts,
except the Temperature Control
Probe, Cord and Plug 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, Cord or
Plug in water or other liquids.
Helpful Hints
• Use only nylon or heat-proof plastic
cooking utensils. Metal utensils may
scratch the Non-Stick Surface. • This skillet is not designed to deep
fry. To pan-fry, do not use more
than 1 cup of oil. Select a vegetable
oil or peanut oil for frying, butter
and olive oil should only be used
to sauté foods on a lower
temperature setting.
