HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC SKILLET

PROBE securely into receptacle on skillet, plug into standard 120v AC
outlet and turn temperature control to desired setting.
3. The temperature control indicator light will come on when you set or
adjust the temperature. Once the desired temperature is reached, the
indicator light will go out. (When adding food, the indicator light will
come on briefly as the overall cooking temperature is reduced.)
4. Preheat the skillet with the lid on for 10 – 15 minutes or until the indi-

user manual are estimates. Adjust the cooking temperature slightly up
or down to achieve the results you prefer.

HELPFUL HINTS
• Before using the skillet for the first time, lightly brush cooking surface with
vegetable oil. Heat, uncovered, to 300°F. Turn OFF and cool completely. Wipe
away excess oil.
• Use only nylon or heat-proof plastic cooking utensils. Metal utensils may
scratch the non-stick surface.
• This skillet is not designed to deep fry. To pan-fry, do not use more than 1 cup
