GROUNDED 3-CONDUCTOR PLUG

This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord (3prong plug). This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Do not use an extension cord with this product.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the countertop or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLAS-

TIC coasters or placemats between the appliance and the finish of the countertop or tabletop.

Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may occur, or stains can appear.

ELECTRIC POWER

If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

USER MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing that requires disassembly must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

CARE & CLEANING

CAUTION: Do not immerse the cord, plug or Temperature

Control Probe in water or any other liquid.

CAUTION: To avoid accidental burns, allow the Electric

Skillet to cool completely before cleaning.

1. When cooking is completed, unplug the cord from the wall outlet. Allow the Electric Skillet to cool completely.

2. Remove the Temperature Control Probe from the Probe

Socket. If necessary, wipe the Temperature Control Probe with a damp, soft cloth. Dry the Temperature Control Probe completely, and then set it aside.

3. Immerse the Electric Skillet and Glass Lid in hot, sudsy water. Clean thoroughly using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse in hot water then dry completely.

For stubborn food particles: Loosen stuck-on food with a plastic cleaning pad. Avoid hard scouring on the non-stick finish as this may cause the surface to scratch.

DO NOT use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners on any part of the Electric Skillet.

STORAGE

Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before storing.

Store the appliance in its box or in a clean, dry place. Never store the Electric Skillet while it is hot or still plugged in.

“OFF” position then plug the Temperature Control Probe securely into the Probe Socket.

ALWAYS INSERT PROBE INTO SKILLET BEFORE PLUG-

GING INTO WALL OUTLET.

2. Plug the power cord into any standard 120V AC wall outlet.

3. Turn the Temperature Control Probe to the desired temperature and allow the Electric Skillet to preheat before cooking

(unless otherwise stated in recipe). The Indicator Light on the

Temperature Control Probe will illuminate as soon as the Dial is rotated. The Indicator Light will then go out once the selected temperature has been reached.

4. Add food and cook according to recipe or cooking charts.

Liquids such as broth, water, etc. may be added to the

Electric Skillet during cooking. Adjust the Temperature

Control Dial as necessary.

NOTE: During cooking, the Indicator Light will cycle on and off indicating that the Electric Skillet is maintaining the proper temperature.

5. When cooking is complete, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the “OFF” position. The Indicator Light on the Temperature

Control Probe will go out. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and allow the Electric Skillet to cool completely.

6. Once the unit has cooled, remove the Temperature Control

Probe from the Probe Socket and follow the Care & Cleaning

Instructions.

ADJUSTING THE STEAM VENTS

The Glass Lid has two Adjustable Steam Vents located beneath the Lid Knob. These are designed to allow excess steam to escape during cooking.

To open the steam vents: Rotate the Lid Knob clockwise so that the Steam Vents are lined up with the “OPEN” markings on the Glass Lid.

To close the steam vents: Rotate the Lid Knob counterclockwise so that the Steam Vents are lined up with the

“CLOSE” markings on the Glass Lid.

COOKING METHODS

FRY/SAUTÉ

Cooking food rapidly in an open skillet using a small quantity of fat.

Add oil, shortening, butter or margarine to the Electric Skillet and preheat to the desired temperature (350°F). The amount of fat used will vary accordingly to recipe and type or amount of food to be prepared. See the SUGGESTED COOKING CHARTS for more information.

PAN-BROIL

Cooking food over high heat in an open skillet using little or no fat.

Add little or no oil, shortening, butter or margarine to the Electric

Skillet and preheat to the desired temperature (400°F). Place food in the hot Electric Skillet. Brown the food, turning it often. Remove excess fat as it accumulates.

BRAISE

Searing food in hot fat until brown, then simmering in a covered skillet with liquid added.

Add a small quantity of fat to the Electric Skillet and preheat to

350°F. Brown the food well on all sides. Add specified amount of liquid, then cover with the Glass Lid and turn the Temperature

Control Dial down just until the Indicator Light goes out (simmer point). Cook as specified in recipe or until the food is tender.

Check during cooking and add more liquid as necessary.

DO NOT LET SKILLET BOIL DRY. See the SUGGESTED

COOKING CHARTS for more information.

SIMMER

Gently cooking food in a liquid just below boiling temperature.

Add oil, shortening, butter or margarine to the Electric Skillet and preheat to the desired temperature. If required, brown the food on all sides. Add liquid or make sauce as directed in recipe. With the

Temperature Control Dial set to about 250°F (or slightly higher), bring the liquid to a boil. Turn Temperature Control Dial down just until the Indicator Light goes out; this is the simmer point. Cover with the Glass Lid. Simmer food for the directed length of time or until the food is done. Check periodically during cooking and add more liquid as necessary.

DO NOT LET SKILLET BOIL DRY.

7

STEAM

Cooking food by exposing it to steam in a covered skillet.

Place a small amount of water in the bottom of the Electric Skillet.

Add vegetables or other foods then cover with the Glass Lid. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to about 250°F and steam the food until it is done. Check often, adding more water as necessary.

DO NOT LET SKILLET BOIL DRY.

WARM

Gradually bringing cooked and cooled food back up to serving temperature.

Preheat the Electric Skillet with the Temperature Control Dial set to about 200°F. Place the food to be warmed in the Electric Skillet then cover with the Glass Lid. Heat until the food is warm, turning or stirring occasionally.

GROUNDED 3-CONDUCTOR PLUG

This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord (3prong plug). This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Do not use an extension cord with this product.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the countertop or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLAS-

TIC coasters or placemats between the appliance and the finish of the countertop or tabletop.

Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may occur, or stains can appear.

ELECTRIC POWER

If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.
