SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR

SHORT CORD PURPOSE
POLARIZED PLUG
If the plug still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Never use the plug
with an extension cord unless the plug
can be fully inserted into the extension
cord. Do not alter the plug of the
product or any extension cord being
used with this product. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
If this appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other), please follow the below
instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If you
are unable to t the plug into the
electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the
marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the product; (2) the
extension cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter
top or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped
over by children or pets.
Note: A short power cord is provided
to reduce the risk of personal injury
resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a long cord.
Longer power-supply cords or
extension cords may be used if care
is exercised in their use.

COOKING TIME & TEMPERATURES (cont.)
For Simmering:
In an electric skillet, foods will heat to a simmering point between the ON setting
and 200°F. Heat the skillet at 350°F until the food boils; then place lid on skillet and
reduce heat to simmer level by turning the temperature control between ON and
200°F.
For Braising or Pot Roasting:
This cooking method involves browning food, usually meat or vegetables in oil,
butter or margarine and then simmering in a small amount of liquid over low heat.
To brown meat and/or vegetables, use a temperature between 325°F and 350°F.
After browning, simmer as instructed above.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning. Exposing your skillet
to water while hot may cause warping and/or damage.
2. Once cooled, lling the skillet with water and allowing it to soak will assist in
the removal of tough baked on particles.
3. Make sure the temperature control knob is in the OFF position and the power
cord is unplugged.
4. When washing, non-abrasive cloths and plastic bristle kitchen brushes may be
used to remove stubborn food particles from your skillet. Do not use abrasive
cloths and cleaning materials as they may damage the non-stick surface.
5. The glass lid and skillet body (with Temperature Control Probe removed) are
dishwasher safe (TOP RACK ONLY) or can be washed by hand with warm soapy
water and a clean non-abrasive sponge or cloth. The inner body of the skillet

CAUTION: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANSERS OR MATERIALS TO CLEAN ANY PARTS
OF THE SKILLET FOR THIS MAY DAMAGE THE SURFACES AND NON-STICK COATING!

bottom of the skillet and reheat the unit for 2-3 minutes.
7. Ensure both probe and skillet are completely dry before inserting probe into
skillet for use.

following method is recommended:
Combine 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 2 teaspoons water.
-Pre-heat the skillet for approximately 1-11/2 minutes on setting 300°F.
-Turn the power OFF at the power outlet, remove the plug from the power
outlet and remove probe from skillet.
-Brush the above paste solution onto the non-stick surface and allow to stand
for one hour.
