IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should

always be followed, including the following:

READ AND SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse HEATING BASE and

cord in water or other liquids.

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.

This appliance is not to be used by children.

• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool

before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the

appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Call Customer

Service (see warranty) to return for examination, repair, or adjustment.

• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by manufacturer may

cause injuries.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch heated surfaces.

• Do not place the assembled appliance or SKILLET PAN on or near a hot

gas or electric burner. Do not place the assembled appliance in a heated

oven. However, the SKILLET PAN without the LID can be removed from

the HEATING BASE and placed in the oven.

• Extreme caution must be used when moving appliance containing hot oil

or other hot liquids.

• Do not operate the skillet unless fully assembled. Place SKILLET PAN on

HEATING BASE first, turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to “OFF”

and then plug cord into wall outlet.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• To disconnect and prior to removing SKILLET PAN from HEATING

BASE, turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to “OFF”, then remove

SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from

entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. AN EXTENSION CORD MAY

BE USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE MARKED ELECTRICAL

RATING SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICAL

RATING OF THE SKILLET.

The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or

tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or unintentionally tripped over.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the

other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical

shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the

outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact

a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this

safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug

fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not

use that outlet.

CAUTION Some countertops are more sensitive to heat, use care not to

place skillet or SKILLET PAN on surfaces where heat may cause damage.

ELECTRIC POWER If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances,

skillet may not operate properly. Skillet must be operated on a separate circuit

from other operating appliances.

HOW TOUSE OUR ELECTRIC SKILLET

Before use, wash the SKILLET PAN and LID in warm soapy water or

in the dishwasher and dry completely.

CAUTION Do not immerse HEATING BASE in water or other liquids.

1. Set the skillet on a flat, dry, heat resistant surface.

2. Make sure that the SKILLET PAN is sitting securely on the HEATING

BASE. If the SKILLET PAN is not secure on the HEATING BASE, the

product may not function properly.

3. Turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to “OFF”. Plug skillet into

standard 120V AC outlet and turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL

to desired setting, by aligning the temperature with the POWER INDICATOR

LIGHT. The POWER INDICATOR LIGHT will come on

and remain on while the TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL is on the

WARM or higher settings. Warm Setting WARM is recommended for

keeping already hot, fully cooked food at the perfect serving temperature.

We do not recommend using the WARM setting for more than 4 hours.

4. Preheat the skillet with the LID on for 10 -15 minutes. NOTE Due to

manufacturing process, during initial use of this appliance, some slight

smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating

appliances and will not recur after a few uses.

5. The STEAM VENT allows steam to escape while cooking with the LID in

place. CAUTION Escaping steam is HOT! Be careful when removing or

lifting LID. Oven mitts are required when handling the LID or SKILLET PAN.

6. When cooking is complete turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to “OFF”.

7. Prior to removing pan from HEATING BASE, turn TEMPERATURE

CONTROL DIAL to “OFF” and remove plug from wall outlet.

8. The SKILLET PAN can be removed from the HEATING BASE and placed

in the oven for baking or roasting. The LID must be removed when using

the SKILLET PAN in the oven.

9. The SKILLET PAN can be used as a serving piece.

When placing the SKILLET PAN on a countertop,

kitchen table or other surface, place a hot plate or

trivet that measures at least 3/8" high under the pan

to prevent burning or discoloration of the surface.
