Important Cord Information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to
fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of
the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
How to Assemble
1. Place the skillet upside down on a table or counter.
2. Remove the four screws from the mounting projections on the skillet body and set aside.
3. Position the leg handle assemblies on the skillet, lining up the holes in the leg handle assemblies with
the mounting projections on the skillet.
4. Replace the screws and fasten securely (Fig. A). When properly assembled, the skillet should sit level.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in the stripping of screws or the cracking of
the leg handle assemblies.
5. To attach the cover handle to the cover, first remove the two screws from the handle. For easiest alignment, hold the handle so the
screw holes are facing up. Position the inverted cover over the handle and align the cover holes with the handle holes. Insert the
screws through the holes. Using a Phillips screwdriver, fasten the handle to the cover until it is secure. NOTICE: Continuing to
tighten, once secure, can result in the stripping of screws or the cracking of handle or cover.
How to Use
NOTICE: This skillet is not intended to be used as a warming tray, hot plate, or for heating any cookware nor to melt wax, gels,
plastics, glue, or other materials for making candles or for other hobbyist activities, or in any commercial or business application.
Using this appliance for purposes different from those specified in the instruction manual may cause damage to the appliance and will
void the appliance warranty.
Before using for the first time, wash the skillet and cover in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse the Control Master
®
heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
1. Place skillet on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from walls, cabinets, and other objects. NOTICE: To prevent possible heat
damage to your countertop, place a heat-resistant counter protector, such as aluminum foil, under the skillet, taking care not to
place the foil under the leg handle assemblies.
2. Insert the Control Master
®
heat control probe into the skillet so the two electrical pins on the
skillet are fully inserted into the heat control. Connect the cord to a 120VAC electrical wall
outlet only.
3. Turn the Control Master
®
heat control to desired temperature (see page 3). Remove the cover
and preheat the skillet. The indicator light will turn off when the selected temperature is reached,
in approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
NOTE: Occasionally you may hear a pop or clicking sound while the skillet is preheating; this
is due to the expansion of the metal as it heats and is normal. You may also hear this sound while the skillet is cooling.
4. Prepare the food for cooking. Because the skillet features a nonstick surface, food may be prepared with little or no oil.
NOTICE: Avoid using no-stick cooking sprays as they may cause the cooking surface to become tacky.
5. Place the food in the skillet and cook according to the temperature-timetable. Heat should be adjusted according to personal
preference and the particular food being cooked. During cooking, the indicator light will turn on and off indicating desired
temperature is being maintained. The pouring spout may be used as a handy spoon rest and spatula holder during cooking.
For best results use heat-resistant nylon, plastic, rubber, or wooden utensils in the skillet. Do not use metal utensils as they may
scratch the nonstick surface and also become hot if left in the skillet during cooking. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.
CAUTION! When the cover is placed on the skillet and the contents are boiling, it is normal for some steam to vent from the pour
spout. Do not reach over the pour spout when steam is venting. Contact with steam can cause burns.
6. Turn the heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug the heat control from the wall outlet, and then from the skillet.
Allow the skillet to cool before cleaning.
