BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with
the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise
a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE
• Carefully read all instructions before
operation and save for future reference.
• Remove and safely discard any
packaging material and promotional
stickers before using the frypan for the
first time.
• To eliminate a choking hazard for young
children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover that is fitted to the power
plug of the frypan.
• Do not place the frypan near the edge
of a bench or table during operation.
Ensure that the surface is level, clean
and free of water.
• Keep the frypan clear of walls, curtains
and other heat or steam sensitive
materials. Minimum 200mm distance.
• Do not place on or near a gas
burner, electric element or in or near
a heated oven.
• Do not use on a sink drain board.
• Always insert Temperature Control Probe
into probe socket before inserting power
plug into power outlet and switching
on appliance. Ensure the probe socket
is completely dry before inserting the
Temperature Control Probe.
• The frypan must be used with the
Temperature Control Probe provided.
Do not use any other probe or connector.
• To protect against electric shock, do not
immerse power cord or Temperature
Control Probe in water or any other
liquid, or allow moisture to come in
contact with these parts.
• Ensure the Temperature Control
Probe has cooled before removing
from the appliance.
• Always remove Temperature Control
Probe before cleaning the appliance.
• If using plastic utensils, do not leave in
frypan when hot.
• Do not place hot glass lid under cold
water.
• Always have the glass lid positioned
correctly on the frypan throughout
operation of the appliance unless stated
in the recipe to have it removed.
• The glass lid has been specially treated
to make it stronger, more durable and
safer than ordinary glass, however it
is not unbreakable. If struck extremely
hard, it may break or weaken and could
at a later date shatter into many small
pieces without apparent cause.
• Extreme caution must be used when
the appliance contains hot oil or other
liquid. Do not move the appliance
during cooking. Allow the frypan to cool
before removing oil or other liquid.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the
handles for lifting and carrying the
frypan.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended
when in use.

KNOW YOUR BREVILLE SKILLET
BEFORE FIRST USE
It is recommended to remove any
promotional labels and wash your frypan in
hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not immerse the power cord and/or
temperature control probe in water or any
other liquid.
OPERATION OF YOUR SKILLET
1. Insert the temperature control probe
into the probe socket on the appliance.
Plug power plug into a 230/240V power
outlet and switch ‘ON’. Always insert the
probe into the appliance first, then plug
power cord into main power outlet.
NOTE
Before inserting the temperature
control probe into the frypan socket,
ensure the interior of the socket is
fully dry. To do this, shake out excess
water then wipe the interior of the
socket with a dry cloth.
2. Turn the dial on the heat probe
clockwise to the desired setting.
The heating ‘ON’ light will illuminate.
3. The red temperature control light will be
on until the frypan reaches the desired
temperature. Once the temperature has
been reached, the red light will cycle
‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ during cooking to retain
the desired temperature.
4. When cooking is completed, turn the
dial anti-clock-wise until it is aligned
with the ‘MIN’. Switch off at the power
outlet and unplug power cord.
5. Leave the temperature control probe
connected to the appliance until cool.
6. Remove the Temperature Control Probe
and follow the cleaning instructions to
clean your frypan (page 10).
NOTE
This frypan must be used with the
temperature control probe provided.
Do not use any other probe or
connector.
The toughened glass lid enables you to
monitor your cooking without removing the
lid and loosing heat.

CARE, CLEANING & STORAGE FOR YOUR BREVILLE SKILLET
CARE
• Do not leave plastic cooking utensils
in contact with the hot frypan surface
while cooking.
• Do not use metal utensils on the
non-stick coating of the frypan. Only
use wooden or good quality plastic
utensils to stir or serve food.
• Before cleaning, switch the frypan to
‘MIN’ and unplug power cord from the
power outlet. Remove the temperature
probe when cooled from the socket in
the appliance.
CLEANING
Temperature Control Probe
• If cleaning is necessary, wipe the
Temperature Control Probe over with
a slightly damp cloth. Ensure it is
completely dry before use.
NOTE
Never immerse the temperature
control probe or power plug in water
or any other liquid.
TIP
For convenient storage of the
temperature control probe, line the
frypan with 2 sheets of kitchen paper
and place the probe on the kitchen
paper. This will ensure the probe and
power plug don’t scratch the non-stick
surface.
Non-stick cooking surface
Your frypan features premium quality non-
stick, ideal for low fat cooking. Regardless
of this fact, Breville recommends that care is
taken with the non-stick coating particularly
when using metal utensils. Do not use
sharp objects or cut food inside the frypan.
Breville will not be liable for damage to the
non-stick coating where metal utensils have
been used. Cooking on a non-stick surface
minimises the need for oil, prevents food
from sticking and cleaning is easier. Any
discolouration that may occur will only
detract from the appearance of the frypan
and will not affect the cooking performance.
When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not
use metal (or other abrasive) scourers. Wash
in hot, soapy water. Remove stubborn spots
with a plastic washing pad or nylon washing
brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NOTE
To clean the interior and exterior
surface and glass lid wash in hot soapy
water. Remove stubborn spots with a
plastic washing pad or nylon washing
brush.
Removing discolouration of the
non-stick surface
• Combine 2 tablespoons bicarbonate of
soda, ¼ cup household bleach, 1 cup water.
• Pour into the frypan, place lid on with the
vent closed, and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
• Clean in a well-ventilated area and
avoid breathing in the vapours. Wash as
directed before re-use. In some instances
this may not remove all the staining.

12
CARE, CLEANING & STORAGE FOR YOUR BREVILLE SKILLET
Glass Lid
Wash the lid in warm soapy water using a soft
cloth or sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Dishwasher safe
Your frypan and glass lid are dishwasher
safe for easy cleaning. The recessed heating
element is completely sealed so it is safe to
immerse in water. Remove the probe and
power cord before placing the frypan into the
dishwasher.
NOTE
Before inserting the temperature
control probe into the frypan socket,
ensure the interior of the socket is
fully dry. To do this, shake out excess
water then wipe the interior of the
socket with a dry cloth.
STORAGE
Store the temperature probe carefully. Do not
knock or drop it as this can damage the probe.
If damage is suspected, return the temperature
control probe to your nearest Breville Service
Centre for inspection.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
for your Breville Skillet

15
COOKING TECHNIQUES FOR YOUR BREVILLE SKILLET
ROASTING
Recommended temperature probe setting:
8–10
Searing meat – 8
Medium heat – 5-6
Roasting Meat and Poultry
The frypan is ideal for roasting meat and
poultry, as the meat retains flavour and
juices.
• Preheat the frypan on setting 8. Fattier
joints of meat require no oil. Use only a
small amount for less fatty joints.
• Sear and seal the meat on all sides.
• After serving, turn the dial to setting
5–6, cooking the meat as desired.
• Turn the meat during cooking.
• Once the meat is cooked, set aside
and cover with foil, whilst the gravy is
prepared from the juice in the frypan.
Vegetables
• Cut into even sized pieces.
• Add to the frypan 40–65 minutes before
serving.
• For crisper vegetables, remove the meat
and increase the heat for the last few
minutes of cooking.
Roasting times
• The following times are for dishes that
are well done. To suit your personal taste,
these times can be reduced.
Pork 30-40 minutes/500g after searing
Veal 30-40 minutes/500g after searing
Lamb/
Beef 25-30 minutes/500g after searing
Chicken 30-35 minutes/500g after searing
SAUTÉING
Recommended temperature probe setting:
8–10
Used for sautéing onions, garlic, spices,
pastes, herbs, vegetables, meat and
seafood.
PAN FRYING
Recommended temperature probe setting:
8–10
Searing meat – 10
Medium heat – 6-8
Used for cooking meats, fish, seafood, eggs,
chicken or sausages.
• Preheat the frypan on high heat setting.
When heated add a small amount of oil,
which prevents the food from sticking.
The frypan’s non-stick cooking surface
allows you to reduce the amount of oil
when cooking.
• Brush whole meat cuts, eg. steak,
chicken breast, and fish fillets, with small
amount of oil before pan frying rather
than adding oil directly to the pan.
• When cooking meats, start on setting 10
to seal in juices. Reduce heat to setting
6–8 to cook the meat to well done.

16
COOKING TECHNIQUES FOR YOUR BREVILLE SKILLET
TOASTING SANDWICHES

Sandwiches can be easily toasted in the
frypan. Choose fillings which will hold
together and do not spill out of the sandwich.
• Preheat frypan to medium setting.
• Butter pieces of bread well and place
sandwich in frypan with the buttered
sides on the outside.
• Cook for approximately 3–4 minutes on
either side, depending on the depth of
toasting desired.
NOTE
Temperature setting will depend on
filling, and will need to be adjusted
accordingly.
