BEFORE USING YOUR ELECTRIC SKILLET
CONDITIONING OF THE NON-STICK COATED SKILLET:
Before using your new appliance, wash the inside of the skillet with warm, sudsy water
and dry. When washing the skillet, make sure the temperature controller is removed. Rub
a film of cooking or salad oil all over the non-stick coating on the inside of the skillet.
Remove any excess oil with a cloth or paper towel.

Electric Skillet is now ready for use and it is unnecessary to condition it again.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Push the temperature controller firmly into its socket found at the side of the appliance.
Plug it into the appropriate outlet.
2. Set the temperature you want by turning the knob on the temperature controller.
The indicator light will come on. Set the temperature of your choice opposite the
indicator light. When the light goes off, the chosen cooking temperature has been
reached. During cooking, the light will blink on and off indicating the temperature is being
maintained. Guidance in the choice of temperatures is supplied later in this book.
3. The capacity of your Electric Skillet is 30 x 40 cm (12 x 16 in.).
4. It is recommended that you do not cook with the Electric Skillet standing
on temperature sensitive surfaces.
5. For simmering, set the temperature control knob to 150°C/300°F or SIMMER and
wait until the liquid boils. Turn the knob toward the WARM setting. Set the dial to this
point each time SIMMER is specified in a recipe.
6. do not use metal utensils in your Electric Skillet as they may damage the non-stick
coating. Wood or plastic coated spatulas are best. If you use plastic tools, make sure
they are suitable for use on hot surfaces.
7. To remove the temperature controller, wrap your hand around the temperature
controller and pull back. The controller will automatically release.
