the Electric Skillet. Treat it carefully. Dropping or banging it could  
change its calibration and make the temperature settings inaccu-  
rate.

cool before removing the Temperature Control Probe.  
To clean the Temperature Control Probe, simply wipe down with a  
soft, damp cloth. Make sure you dry it thoroughly before using  
again.  
NOTE: The Temperature Control Probe is not immersible.  
CAUTION: Use only the Temperature Control Probe (P/N
