to cool before cleaning.
Care and Cleaning
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, remove the heat control and wash the skillet in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry
thoroughly. Make sure to also clean the undersid, as necessary.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
Do not immerse
Control Master
®
heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
Soaking the skillet to loosen food residue is not necessary. If, however, soaking the skillet is desired, do not soak for more than two hours.
Soaking for more than two hours may damage the ceramic coating.
NOTICE:
Repeated washings in an automatic dishwasher will cause the nonstick properties of the ceramic coating to slowly diminish.
In addition, the bottom of the pan will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher detergent, and a gray residue may form
on the skillet bottom and may transfer onto towels and/or skin.
In time, the ceramic coating may darken over the heating element due to a buildup of grease residue. To minimize or remove this dis-
coloration, sprinkle baking soda over the discolored area. Add enough water to make a paste. Allow paste to sit for several minutes and
then scour with a plastic scouring pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Dobie* Cleaning Pad, or a damp cloth. Wash and dry thoroughly. Repeat
the procedure, if necessary.
Periodically check the screws on the cover handle and skillet legs for looseness. Retighten, if necessary.
NOTICE:
Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in stripping of screws or cracking of handles and legs.
IMPORTANT:
To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master

heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.

The glass cover may break for no apparent reason if you fail to follow these instructions. Broken glass can cause personal
injury or property damage.
Handle the cover carefully. Do not scrape or gouge the glass with hard or sharp utensils. Do not handle a hot cover with a wet towel
or place it on a cold or wet surface. Sudden, extreme changes in temperature may cause the glass to break. Do not use the cover if it is
chipped or cracked. Avoid rough handling in use and storage.
Keep the cover clean. Allow the cover to cool before washing. This cover is dishwasher safe. Do not use steel wool cleaning pads or
abrasive powders which can scratch or weaken the glass. Nonabrasive pads or powders may be used if necessary.
