Care and Cleaning
Because this skillet has a removable base, the skillet pan and cover easily fit in most dishwashers for cleaning. Wash the
pan and cover before initial use and after each subsequent use.
Do not immerse Control Master
®
heat control in water
or let it come in contact with any liquid.
Note: If you choose to wash the skillet pan in a dishwasher, the bottom of the pan will likely discolor due to the caustic
nature of the dishwashing detergent.
To disassemble the skillet for cleaning and storage:
1. Using your thumbs, push the handle latches away from the skillet
and rotate the handles down until they rest on the counter.
2. Lift the skillet pan off of the base and clean as described below.
3. For compact storage, rotate the handles up and inward and place
the base in the pan inverted so the rubber feet are facing up (Fig. D).
Then invert the cover and place onto the pan.
When washing by hand, clean the nonstick surface with a non-metal cleaning pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-
Purpose Scrub Sponge or Scotch-Brite*
Dobie* Cleaning Pad. Firm pressure can be applied, if necessary.
Do not
use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
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 nonstick finish.
In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element. To remove this discoloration, use a commercial
cleaner designed for cleaning surfaces, such as dip-it* destainer. These cleaners are available at most grocery and
hardware stores. For best results, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, being careful that any cleaning solution
coming in contact with the exterior of the appliance is wiped off.
After treating the skillet with a commercial cleaner, it is recommended that the cooking surface be wiped lightly with
a cooking oil before using. The outside finish of the skillet is easy to keep attractive and looking new. Simply wipe
away spills and drips as they occur. If food should happen to burn on, it can be removed with warm, sudsy water and a
cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry.
Glass Cover Care and Use Instructions
Do not use cover if it is chipped or cracked. Handle cover carefully and avoid impact.
Do not handle hot cover with wet towel or place hot cover on a cold or wet surface.
Allow cover to cool before washing. This cover is dishwasher safe. Keep the cover clean. 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. Do not scrape or gouge glass with hard or sharp utensils.
CAUTION: Failure to follow these instructions could cause immediate breakage or breakage at a later date for
no apparent reason, which may result in personal injury or property damage.
Periodically check the screws on the cover handle for looseness. Retighten, if necessary. CAUTION: Overtightening
can result in stripping of screws or cracking of handle.
IMPORTANT:
To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master
®
heat control, avoid rough handling in use and
storage.
