TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE
FEATURES AS FOLLOWS:
1. Trigger release for easy removal.
2. Temperature selector
3. Built-in thermostat
NOTE: The light on the control probe will illuminate and will remain on until the set
temperature is reached. It will then cycle on and o throughout cooking, as the
temperature is maintained by the thermostat. On initial heating of the frypan, it is
recommended that the temperature be allowed to cycle (the light cycling on and o)
several times. This will help the cooking surface to adjust to a more accurate cooking
temperature.
TRIGGER RELEASE CONTROL PROBE
The probe is thermostatically controlled and incorporates an indicator light which
switches o automatically when the temperature selected has been reached and then
cycles on and o to indicate that the selected temperature is being maintained.

CLEANING & CARE
1. Medium and low heat settings will yield the best results for most types of cooking.
Heating the frypan gradually will ensure even heat distribution. Do not use your
frypan on maximum temp settings as this will shorten the life of the non-stick
coating.
2. Do not allow your frypan to boil dry as this may cause damage to the non-stick
surface.
3. The frypan is suitable for use with wood, nylon and plastic utensils. Do not use
steel utensils as they may scratch the non-stick surface. Scratching of the non-
stick surface is not covered by warranty.
CLEANING
1. Allow the frypan to cool thoroughly after using. Exposing your frypan to water
whilst hot may cause warping and/or damage.
2. Once cooled, filling the frypan with water and allowing it to soak will assist in the
removal of tough baked on particles.
3. When washing, non-abrasive cloths and plastic bristle kitchen brushes may be
used to remove stubborn food particles from your frypan. Do not use abrasive
cloths and cleaning materials as they may damage the non-stick surface.
4. The Frypan and lid are fully immersible and can be washed in warm soapy
water using a mild household detergent and a soft washing sponge. For added
convenience, they can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
5. Ensure both probe and frypan are completely dry before inserting probe into
frypan for use.
6. Should your frypan require cleaning of stubborn stains and build-up, the following
method is recommended:
***Combine: 2 tablespoons bicarbonate of soda and 2 teaspoons water***
i). Pre-heat the frypan for approximately 1-1.5 minutes on setting 150 degrees
celcius.
ii). Turn the power OFF at the power outlet, remove the plug from the power
outlet and remove probe from frypan.
iii). Brush the above paste solution onto the non-stick surface and allow to stand
for one hour.
iv). Wash the frypan in warm soapy water using a mild household cleaner and a
soft washing sponge.
7. Ensure frypan is dried thoroughly and stored in a dry place away from steam and
humidity where possible.
DANGER: Do not under any circumstances immerse the power cord, mains plug or
temperature control probe in water or any other liquid.
WARNING: Do not place the temperature control probe in the dishwasher.
