ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT

SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION HOT SURFACES: This appliance generates heat and escaping

steam during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk

of burns, fires or other injury to persons or damage to property.

CAUTION: This appliance is hot during operation and retains heat for

some time after turning OFF. Always use oven mitts when handling hot

materials and allow metal parts to cool before cleaning. Do not place

anything on top of the appliance while it is operating or while it is hot.

1. All users of this Electric Skillet must read and understand this

Instruction Manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.

2. The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120V AC

electrical outlet only.

3. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately

unplug the cord. Then remove the temperature control probe.

Do not use or attempt to repair the malfunctioning appliance.

4. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.

5. CAUTION: DO NOT USE COOKING SPRAYS. Cooking sprays can

NOTES ON THE PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized

outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse

the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not

modify the plug in any way.

NOTES ON THE CORD

A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord)

is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are

available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should

be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;

2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord

should be a grounding-type3-wire cord; and

3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape

over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by

children or tripped over unintentionally.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating to the finish of

the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC

coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the

counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the finish to

darken; permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

yourappliance may not operate properly. It should be operated

onaseparate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Temperature Control Probe

1. The temperature control probe is the nerve center and brain of the CRUX 6QT Extra

Deep Electric Skillet. Treat it carefully. Dropping or banging it could change its calibration

and cause the temperature settings to be inaccurate.

2. Rotate the temperature control dial to select the temperature called for in the recipe.

3. The indicator light on the temperature control will illuminate as the dial is rotated.

The light will go out once the selected temperature has been reached.

NOTE: During cooking, the light will go on and off as the CRUX 6QT Extra Deep Electric

Skillet maintains the selected temperature.

4. Allow the CRUX 6QT Extra Deep Electric Skillet to cool before removing the temperature

control probe.

5. Wipe the outside of the socket and the temperature control probe with a soft,

damp cloth. Dry it thoroughly before using again.

NOTE: The temperature control probe is not submersible.

CAUTION: Use the temperature control probe supplied with this CRUX 6QT Extra Deep

Electric Skillet only. The use of any other temperature control probe may cause fire,

electric shock, or injury.

Before Using for the First Time

1. Carefully unpack the CRUX 6QT Extra Deep Electric Skillet and remove all

packagingmaterials.

2. Wash the CRUX 6QT Extra Deep Electric Skillet and tempered glass lid in hot, sudsy

water to remove ceramic dust particles and any manufacturing/shipping residue. Rinse

and dry completely.

3. Turn the temperature control dial to OFF. Then insert the temperature control probe

securely into the CRUX 6QT Extra Deep Electric Skillet’s temperature control probe

socket. Press firmly to make sure probe is fully attached. Plug cord into any standard

120V AC wall outlet.

4. Turn the temperature control dial to 400°F and heat empty CRUX 6QT Extra Deep

Electric Skillet uncovered for approximately 5 minutes. You will notice a slight odor; this
