IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The Elite Brand takes consumer safety very seriously. Products are designed and
manufactured with our valued consumers’ safety in mind. Additionally, we ask that
you exercise a level of caution when using any electrical appliance by following all
instructions and important safeguards.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed as below:
1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs.
2. To protect against electrical shock, do
not immerse cord, plug or switch itself
in water or any other liquids.
3. Wash all removable accessories before
using for the rst time.
4. Close supervision is necessary when
appliance is used by or near children.
It is not recommended for children to
operate this appliance.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in
use and before cleaning. Allow the
appliance to cool before putting on or
taking off parts and before cleaning.
6. Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Return the
appliance to the nearest authorized
service facility for examination, repair
or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments
not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric stove, or in a heated oven.
11. To disconnect, turn switch to the OFF

a risk of electrical shock.
15. Do not store any materials other than
manufacturers recommended
accessories on this unit when not in

withstand prolonged heat generated
by certain appliances. It is
recommended by countertop
manufacturers that a hot pad or trivet
be placed under your appliance
to prevent possible damage to the

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

BEFORE FIRST USE
• Read all instructions and important safeguards.
• Carefully unpack the electric skillet and remove all
packaging and materials.
• Clean the cooking surface with a damp cloth or sponge.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the

NOTE:
Thoroughly clean the
product before using it
for the rst time.
Upon rst use, the
skillet may give off a
light smoke and slight
burning odor. This is
due to the protective
coating applied to
the non-stick surface
during manufacturing.
It is harmless and will
subside with use.
Escaping steam is hot!
Be careful when
removing or lifting lid.
Use oven mitts when
handling the lid or
skillet body.
HOW TO USE
1. Place the product on a at, stable, heat-resistant surface.
2. Ensure the product is unplugged from the electrical outlet
and the power switch is off.

use with the non-stick surface of the skillet.
• Never use sharp-edged metal utensils (i.e., forks, knives,
mashers, beaters, or food choppers), as they will scratch
the non-stick surface.
CAUTION:
Never immerse the
electric skillet in water
or any other liquids!
Do not touch hot
surfaces. Use oven
mitts or gloves to
avoid burns or serious
personal injury.
Do not place very cold
