USING YOUR SKILLET
Solid surface countertops can be easily scratched, cracked, scorched, or damaged,
especially when exposed to heat. To prevent damage, the following precautions should
be observed when using this product:
•
Always use a trivet under heat generating sources such as Slow Cookers, Toaster
Ovens, Skillets, etc.
•
Do not place hot pans, pots, ceramic or stoneware inserts, etc. directly on the
countertop surface.
Before first use, rinse and dry your s
killet and lid. Season the cooking surface by applying
a thin coating of cooking oil and rub in with paper towels.
WARNING: Do not immerse the Removable Temperature Probe in water or any
other liquid. Make sure that the skillet socket is completely dry before inserting
the Temperature Probe.
After attaching the Temperature Probe to the Cooking Pan as instructed on page 4, Plug
cord into a 120-volt power outlet and turn power on. Set the adjustable heat dial to the
desired temperature setting. DO NOT USE METAL UTENSILS, as these will scratch the

with your skillet.
Caution: Do not leave plastic untensils in contact with the hot skillet.
Note: Use TOASTMATER Removable Temperature Probe Only (TP-02). This skillet
must be used with the temperature probe provided. Do not use any other probe
