Page 1: Important Safeguards
Your skillet needs no special care other than cleaning. If servicing becomes necessary, within the warranty period, return your skillet to The West Bend Company. See Warranty information for details. Do not attempt to repair it yourself. WARNING: To prevent personal injury or property damage caused by fire, always unplug this and other appliances when not in use. - Page 2 Condition the Non-Stick Interior Surface The non-stick surface must be conditioned to ensure stick-free cooking.

Page 3: Cooking Instructions
If the skillet rocks when place on a flat surface, remove screw on the leg which is not resting on the surface. Install one of the enclosed washers between the skillet mounting projection and the handle. Replace the screw following the instructions 3 and 4 above. -
Page 4: Cleaning Instructions
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage, handle the heat control carefully if you remove it from the product immediately after cooking because the metal probe will be hot—do not touch the metal probe or let it touch anything or any surface that may burn. Using Glass Cover as a Casserole Dish (not metal cover) If your skillet features a glass cover, it may be inverted for use as a casserole dish in a conventional or convection oven up to preheated temperatures of 400°F or in a microwave oven. - Page 5 Dishwasher Cleaning The skillet (with heat control removed), cover and rack may be cleaned in automatic dishwasher. However, the underside of the skillet and the inside of the cover (non-coated aluminum surfaces) will darken. This happens when minerals in water and chemicals used in water purification are combined with detergent and the high heat of the drying cycle.
