NOTICE: This skillet is not intended to be used as a warming tray, hot plate, or for heating any cookware nor to melt wax, gels, plastics, glue, or other materials for making candles or for other hobbyist activities, or in any commercial or business application. Using this appliance for purposes different from those specified in the instruction manual may cause damage to the appliance and will void the warranty.
Before using for the first time, wash the skillet and cover in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control Master heat control or let it come in contact with any liquid.
After each use, remove the heat control and wash the skillet (including the bottom) in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. The nonstick surface may be cleaned with a nylon mesh scouring pad, such as a Scotch-Brite* Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge, or a damp cloth. Firm pressure can be applied. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners. Do not immerse the Control Master heat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.
Do not wash the skillet in the dishwasher.
NOTICE: Repeated washings in a dishwasher will cause the nonstick properties of the ceramic coating to slowly diminish. In addition, the bottom of the skillet will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher detergent. A gray residue may also form which may transfer onto towels and/or hands.
Soaking the skillet to loosen food residue is not necessary. If soaking the skillet is desired, do not soak for more than two hours. Soaking for more than two hours may damage the nonstick finish.
In time, the ceramic coating may darken over the heating element due to a buildup of grease residue. To minimize or remove this discoloration, sprinkle baking soda over the discolored area. Add enough water to make a paste. Allow paste to sit for several minutes and then scour with a nylon mesh scouring pad, such as a Scotch-Brite* Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge, or a damp cloth. Wash and dry thoroughly. Repeat the procedure, if necessary.
Periodically check the screws on the cover handle and skillet leg handle assemblies for looseness. Retighten, if necessary.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in the stripping of screws or the cracking of handles, leg handle assemblies, and cover.
To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.

Simmering
In an electric skillet, foods will heat to simmering at some point between WARM and 200°. Heat the skillet at 350° until the food boils. Place the cover on and reduce the heat to the simmer level by turning the heat control down until the indicator light turns off. Add additional liquid during cooking to obtain the desired consistency.

This cooking method involves browning food, usually meat or vegetables in oil, butter, margarine, etc. and then simmering in a small amount of liquid over low heat. To brown meat or vegetables, use a temperature between 325° and 350°. After browning, simmer as instructed above.

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
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, detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is properly exercised in its use. If 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 table or counter where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
To obtain service under the warranty, call our Consumer Service Department at 1-800-877-0441.
