PARTS AND FEATURES

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.

1. Before ﬁrst use, the frypan must be cleaned. Ensure the temperature control

probe is not attached to the frypan during the cleaning process. Wash your

frypan and lid with hot water and mild detergent. Rinse with fresh water and dry

thoroughly. Your frypan is now ready for use.

2. Season the cooking surface by applying a thin coat of cooking oil and rub in with

paper toweling.

3. Insert the control probe into the inlet on the side of the frypan.

4. Plug the power cord into the power outlet and turn on.

5. Set the temperature control probe to the desired temperature setting.

WARNING: Do not place extremely cold / frozen foods or liquids into a hot frypan

as it may result in excessive steam, spitting and spattering causing personal injury.

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.
