Kambrook Recommends Safety First
IMPORTANT: Please retain your
instruction book for future use.
At Kambrook, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any
consumer product, so that you, our valued customer can confidently
use and trust our products. We ask that any electrical appliance that
you use be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention
placed on the following important operating instructions.
Important Safeguards For Your Kambrook
Skillet Frypan
• Carefully read all instructions
before operation and save for
future reference.
• Remove and safely discard any
packaging material and promotional
stickers before using the Skillet 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 Skillet 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 Skillet 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 Skillet 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 Skillet 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 time shatter into many
small pieces without apparent cause.

operate the frypan on
an inclined surface. Do
not move the frypan

Using Your Skillet Frypan
Before First Use
Before first use wash, rinse and dry
your Skillet Frypan and lid. Season the
cooking surface by applying a
thin coating of cooking oil with
paper towelling.
WARNING: Do
not immerse the
power cord, plug or
temperature control
probe in water or any
other liquid.
Ensure that the frypan socket is fully
dry before inserting the temperature
control probe.
Plug the cord into a 230V or 240V
power outlet and then turn the
power on.
Set the temperature control probe to
the desired temperature setting. Refer
to table below.
The temperature light on the
temperature control probe will
switch off automatically when the
temperature selected has been
reached. The light will cycle “on”
and “off” during the cooking
cycle indicating that the selected
temperature is being maintained.
Do not use metal utensils, as these will
scratch the non-stick cooking surface.
Only use wooden or good quality
plastic utensils to stir or serve food.
Do not leave plastic cooking utensils
in contact with the hot frypan surface
while cooking.
NOTE: This frypan must be used
with the temperature control
probe provided. Do not use
any other probe or connector.

Care, Cleaning and Storage
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 from the power
outlet. Remove the Temperature
Control Probe when cooled, from the
probe socket of 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,
plug or cord in water or any
other liquid.
Non-stick cooking surface
Cooking on a non-stick surface
minimises the need for oil. As food
does not stick, cleaning is easier.
Any discolouration that may occur
on the non-stick surface may detract
from the appearance of the frypan
but will not affect the cooking
performance.
Do not use metal (or other abrasive)
scourers when cleaning the non-stick
coating. Wash with hot soapy water.
Remove stubborn spots with a soft
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 Skillet 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.
Glass lid
Wash the lid in warm soapy water
using a soft cloth or sponge, rinse and
dry thoroughly.
Dishwasher safe
Your Skillet Frypan and glass lid
are dishwasher safe for easy
cleaning. Remove the probe and
power cord before placing frypan
into the dishwasher.
NOTE: Before inserting the
Temperature Control Probe into
the probe 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 frypan upright with the lid
in position.
Store the Temperature Control
Probe carefully. Take care not to
knock or drop the probe as this
can cause damage. If damage is
suspected, return the Temperature
Control Probe with the frypan to your
nearest Kambrook Service Centre for
inspection.
TIP: For convenient storage of
the Temperature Control Probe,
line the Skillet Frypan with 2
sheets of kitchen paper and
place the probe on the kitchen
paper. This will ensure the
probe and plug do not scratch
the non-stick surface.

10
Preheat your Skillet Frypan before
adding any ingredients, allow the
temperature light to cycle ‘on’
and ‘off’ several times. This will
allow the frypan to reach an even
high temperature.
Stir frying is a dry heat cooking
method and is best suited to tender
cuts of meat. Timing is a key factor
when cooking meat, as over cooking
will give a tough, dry result. Cooking
times depend on the size and
thickness of the cut, as the bigger the
cut, the more time is needed.
Cooking with Your Skillet Frypan
Stir-Frying
Recommended temperature probe
setting 8 – 10.
An energy efficient and healthy way
of cooking foods. The benefit of this
cooking method is its speed and the
flavour of the foods. The non-stick
cooking surface on your Skillet Frypan
also means that less oil is required for
cooking. The cooking action for stir
frying is a continual tossing motion
to ensure the food is evenly exposed
to the heat and cooks quickly and
evenly in a couple of minutes.
Stir frying should be carried out using
a high heat setting.
