I NTR O DUCTION
CONDITIONINGOF THE NON-STICK COATED PAN
Before using your new appliance, wash the inside of the pan with warm, sudsy water and dry.
Rub a film of cooking or salad oil all over the non-stick coating on the inside of the pan.
Remove any excess oil with a cloth or paper towel.
The Electric Skillet is now ready for use and it is unnecessary to condition it again.
WHEN WASHING
THE ELECTRIC SKILLET,
MAKE SURE THE HEAT CONTROLLER
Is
USING THE ELECTRIC SKILLET
Push the heat controller firmly into its socket to be found at the side of the appliance.
Plug into the main electrical supply.
2. To set the temperature you want, turn the knob on the heat controller. The indicator light
will come on displaying an illuminated triangle. Set the temperature of your choice
opposite the illuminated triangle, When the light goes off, the chosen cooking temperature
has been reached. During cooking the light will blink on and off indicating the temperature
is being maintained. Guidance in the choice of temperatures is supplied later in this book.
3. The capacity of the appliance is 2.5 quarts.
4. It is recommended that you do not cook with the Electric Skillet standing on heat
sensitive surfaces.
5. For simmering, set the control knob to 200°F and wait until the liquid boils. Turn the knob
towards the SIMMER setting until the light goes out. This is the SIMMER setting of your
Electric Skillet. Set the dial at this point each time SIMMER is specified in a recipe.
6. Do not dig into the non-stick finish with metal implements. Wood or plastic coated spatulas
are best. If you use plastic tools, make sure they are suitable for use on hot surfaces.
C LEANING THE P AN
REMOVE THE HEAT CONTROLLER
Allow the appliance to cool. Wash the pan and lid with hot sudsy water. Providing the heat
controller is removed, you can totally immerse the pan or place in the dishwasher.
The lid is also dishwasher-safe providing it is placed in the TOP RACK ONLY.
DO NOT PLACE LID UPSIDE DOWN IN BOTTOM DISHWASHER RACK.
To remove stubborn food residues, use a nylon scourer. NEVER use abrasive powder
cleaners or metal scouring pads because these will damage the non-stick coating.
After washing, dry the pan thoroughly, while paying particular attention to the
electrical socket and pins. DO NOT USE METAL PADS TO CLEAN ELECTRICAL PINS.

power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is
exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord
must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over countertop or table top where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
W ARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider the
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fully fit into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to proper outlet.
Do not change the plug any way.
S TORAGE AND M AINTENANCE
Allow appliance to cool before storing. Store Electric Skillet in a dry location, such as
on a table top or countertop, or on a cupboard shelf. Wind the electrical cord into a coil
and secure with a twist fastener.
Other than recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary.
Return the Electric Skillet to the Hattiesburg Service Center for servicing and repairs
(See page 25).

To USE TILT LEG
The tilt leg was specially designed for healthier cooking and easier clean up.
Tilt the leg before cooking, to avoid burning your fingers on the hot pan.
The fat and oil drains to the tilted side of the pan . . . and away from your food.
1. If pan is in use, before lowering tilt leg be sure to protect hand with
an oven glove as the tilt leg can get very hot.
2. Keep the leg raised when not in use.
