Cleaning & Care
The skillet pan must be hand-washed; the cover can be washed in the dishwash-
er. Wash the pan and cover before initial use and after each subsequent use. Do
NOT immerse Thermostat Heat Control in water or let it come in contact with any
liquid.
To disassemble the skillet for cleaning and storage:
1. Lift the skillet pan off the base and clean as described below.
2. Push the handles down until they lock into the base.
3. For compact storage, rotate the handles up and inward, and place the base in
the pan in an inverted position so that the rubber feet are facing up. Then place
the cover upright onto the pan.
When washing the skillet, clean the nonstick surface with a non-metal clean-
ing pad. Firm pressure can be applied if necessary. Do NOT use steel wool or
abrasive cleaners. Soaking the skillet to loosen food residue is not necessary. If,
however, soaking the skillet is desired, do NOT soak for more than 2 hours. Soak-
ing for more than 2 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. These
cleaners are available at most grocery and hardware stores. For best results, fol-
low the manufacturer's instructions, being careful that any cleaning solution that
comes into 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 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, soapy water and a cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry.

Instructions for Glass Cover Care and Use:
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 neces-
sary. 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
or cover.
IMPORTANT: To ensure continued accuracy of the Thermostat Heat Control,
avoid rough handling in use and storage.
