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 counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
Before the First Use
As received, the skillet base and cover will be nested inside the pan. The cover handle will also be
inside the pan, wrapped in paper. Remove all packing material and then wash the skillet according
to the “Care and Cleaning” instructions on page 3.
Important: Before using your skillet, it must be fully assembled as instructed below.
How to Assemble
1. Place the removable base on a flat surface with the rubber feet down. The Presto logo should
be right side up and facing you. Lift the handles and fold them out to the fully extended
position (Fig. A).
2. Set the skillet pan onto the base so the heat control is on the right and the pour spout is in
the front. The supports should fit into the recessed areas on the base (Fig. B).
3. Attach the base to the pan by rotating the handles towards the pan until you hear the latches
lock into place (Fig. C). When properly assembled, you should not be able to lift the pan
off of the base.
4. Attach the cover handle to the cover. 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 two screws
through the holes. Using a Phillips type screwdriver, fasten handle to cover until it is secure.
Note: Continuing to tighten handle, once it is secure, can result in stripping of screws or
cracking of handle or cover.
How To Use
Caution: This product is not intended to melt wax, gels, plastics, glue, or other materials for making candles or for other hobbyist
activities, or in any commercial or business application.
1.
Place assembled skillet on a dry, level, heat resistant surface.
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 cord to a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
3. Turn Control Master
®
heat control to desired temperature (see page 3 for cooking temperatures). Remove cover and preheat
skillet. Pilot light goes off when selected temperature is reached (this takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes).
Note: As the skillet heats up, you may hear a clicking sound; this is due to the expansion of the metal as it heats. It is normal.
You may also notice this sound as the unit cools down.
4. Prepare food for cooking. Because the skillet features a ceramic nonstick surface, food may be prepared with little or no oil.
Note: Avoid using no stick cooking sprays as they may cause the cooking surface to become tacky.
5. Place food in skillet and cook according to the temperature-timetable (page 3). Heat should be adjusted according to personal
preference and particular food being cooked. During cooking, pilot light will go 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, or wooden utensils in the skillet. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the ceramic 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 for the handles when steam is venting from the spout. Contact with steam can cause burns.
6. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet then from appliance. Allow skillet
to cool before cleaning.
