Using the Copper Chef Electric SkilletTM
Important: This appliance has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not t fully into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Do not attempt to
modify the plug in any way.
Before First Use:Wash and rinse the Glass Serving Lid and
cooking surface with warm water and a mild soapy detergent. Never
use abrasive cleaners or metal scrubbers on this Unit. Never immerse
the Unit, the Temperature Control Thermostat, cord or plug in water or
other liquids.

Control Dial facing up, into the accessory jack located on the side
of the Unit below the handle. Push in all the way to ensure that the

process when the set temperature is reached.

will hold enough ingredients for a famil-sized one-pot meal. Make
