BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using this unit, please read these instructions completely. Save this manual and pass it on to
next user.
As received, your frying pan will be in its storage position with the base and lid nested inside the pan.
Before using this appliance for the first time, unpack the frying pan and remove all protective packaging
and wrappings. Please ensure to discard the protective packaging and wrappings immediately. It is
important to keep these away from babies, infants and children for safety purposes.
Assemble the frying pan as follows:
•Lift the handle (Fig.A) to (Fig.B) as shown below.
•Place the frying pan on to the base so that the supports fit into the recessed areas on the based
(Fig. C).

7
Wash the frying pan as per the cleaning instructions provided. The inner pan must be wiped with warm
soapy water, rinsed and towel dried. DO NOT IMMERSE the UNIT in any liquid. DO NOT IMMERSE
the thermostat control/ probe or let the control come in contact with any liquid.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the fully assembled unit on a firm, flat surface and place the lid on the unit.
2. Plug the thermostat control/ probe into the unit and ensure that it is fully inserted. Note: If the
thermostat control/ probe is not completely inserted, abnormal heating may occur, resulting in
damage.
3. Turn the temperature dial of the thermostat control/probe to the “Off”, “0” or “Min” position.
4. Insert the plug into the power socket and switch the power on.
5. Turn the thermostat control’s dial in a clockwise direction to turn the unit ON, and turn it to the
temperature required. The indicator light will turn on and the unit will start heating to the
temperature required. As the frying pan heats up, you may hear a clicking sound. This is due
to the expansion of the metal as it heats and is normal. You may also notice this sound as the
unit cools down. The indicator light will turn off when the unit has reached desired temperature.
6. Before first use: pour some salad or vegetable oil into the pan together with some water and
bring it to the boil. Leave to boil for 5-7 minutes. Once complete, discard the oil and water
mixture. Clean the inner pan and begin the cooking process. This quick measure will eliminate
any manufacturing odours.
7. To cook: Follow steps 1 to 5 above. Now lift the lid and place the food to be cooked into the
pan. Be careful when inserting the food as the pan is hot and this may cause the food to
splatter. During cooking, the indicator light may cycle on and off indicating that the desired
temperature is being maintained.
8. As a general tip: low settings are ideal for casseroles, stews, steaming and other slow cooking.
High settings are used for browning, shallow frying and grilling. Should you wish to let the food
simmer, turn the temperature to its lowest setting. NOTE: Never turn the unit on without any
food and / or liquid in the pan.
9. Once the food is cooked to your preference, turn the thermostat control’s dial to the “Off” or “0”
position and unplug the unit from the power socket.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the frying pan during use, as the pan and lid will be hot.
Only the handles will be cool enough to touch.

8
Following a few general tips can prolong the life of your frying pan:
1. Always wash the pan and lid as soon as possible after each use.
2. DO NOT pour cold water into a hot pan.
3. Never scrape with hard or sharp utensils when cleaning.
4. DO NOT wash the pan with the thermostat control/ probe connected.
5. Wash the frying pan after each use to avoid stains caused by a build-up of food or grease
residues. Never leave food in the pan overnight.
6. Hold the unit at a 45° angle, socket side facing upwards so as to wash. This will prevent or at-
least minimize the likelihood of water getting into the socket.
COOKING TIPS
Foods which overcook easily should be removed from the frying pan as soon as cooking has
been completed.
Try to dry meat, fish, poultry, etc. before adding to hot oil to prevent unnecessary splattering.
Do not fry too much food at a time in order to prevent the oil temperature from dropping too
dramatically.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Disassemble the frying pan for cleaning and storage:
1. Lift the pan off of the base and clean it
as described below.
2. Push the handles down until they fit
into the base.
3. For compact storage, rotate the
handles up and inward then place
the base into the pan inverted so that
the rubber feet are facing up . You may
also store the lid inside the pan in the
same way.

This appliance is for household use only and is not user-serviceable.
Do not open or change any parts by yourself. Please refer to a qualified electrical service
department or return to the supplier if servicing is necessary.
Always remember to unplug the unit from the electrical outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Ensure that the temperature dial is set to the “OFF”or “0” position.
Always unplug the thermostat control/ probe from the unit before cleaning. Remove the
thermostat control/ probe by gripping the control on either side firmly and pulling. Do not pull on
the cord to remove the thermostat control/ probe from the pan.
Never allow the thermostat control/ probe to come into contact with any liquid. To clean the
thermostat control/ probe, gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth or paper towel. Always ensure
that the probe is completely dry before inserting it into the socket of the pan.
Clean the body of the frying pan while it is still warm after use. Be careful as it may still be hot.
Clean when the frying pan is comfortable to the touch. As the frying pan has a removable
base, the pan itself and lid easily fit into most dishwashers for cleaning. Note: If you choose to
wash the pan in a dishwasher, the bottom of the pan is likely to discolour due to the caustic
nature of the dishwashing detergent.
If preferred, the frying pan can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not let water enter the
appliance. Clean the frying area of the unit with a damp sponge. Soaking the pan to loosen
food residue is not necessary. If however desired, do not soak for more than two hours.
Soaking for more than two hours may damage the non-stick finish.
Do not scrub the unit as this will damage the non-stick coating. Always ensure that the
socket is completely dry before inserting the thermostat control/ probe.
Do not use bleach or other abrasive substance or solvents to clean your appliance as it can be
damaging to the finish.
Do not immerse the unit in water or any other liquid, or hold it under a running tap.
To remove stubborn spots/marks, wipe the surfaces with a cloth slightly dampened in soapy
water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
Do not use the lid if it is chipped or cracked. Handle the lid carefully and avoid impact. Do not
handle the lid if it is hot with a wet towel or place the hot lid on a cold or wet surface.
Check the screws on the lid knob periodically in case it has become loose. Retighten it if
necessary. CAUTION: Over-tightening can result in stripping of screws or cracking of the lid
knob.

10
After cleaning, completely wipe the frying pan dry with a soft cloth. Clean the frying pan after
each use.
To maintain a longer life of the non-stick coated surface on the inside of the pan, apply a very
light coat of cooking oil to the non-stick coating with a paper towel before storing. Repeat
periodically.
