Nesco ES-12 - Electric Skillet Manual

OVERVIEW OF COMPONENTS

Overview Of Components

BEFORE FIRST USE

Read and follow all instructions and save for reference.
Remove all packaging and labels.
Clean all parts following instructions in the 'Care and Cleaning' section.
Wipe the base with a damp cloth.
Before using the skillet for the first time, lightly brush cooking surface with vegetable oil. Heat, uncovered, to 300°F. Turn "OFF" and allow time to cool completely. Wipe away excess oil.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Place appliance on a flat, heat-resistant, stable surface in a ventilated area.
Make sure the temperature control is in OFF position. Insert control into inlet on the side of skillet. Then insert plug into electrical outlet.
Adjust control to desired setting. NOTE: The signal light on control indicates heat setting. When desired setting is reached, the light will turn off. It will continue to cycle on and off during use to indicate heat setting is being automatically maintained.
Preheat the skillet with the lid on for 10 minutes or until the indicator light goes out. NOTE: The cooking temperatures listed in this user manual are estimates. Adjust the cooking temperature slightly up or down to achieve the results you prefer.
A steam vent is located on the glass lid. The steam vent allows steam to escape while cooking with the lid in place.

Escaping steam is hot! Be careful while removing or lifting lid.
Place food directly onto cooking surface or rack and cook to desired doneness.
When finished cooking, turn controller to OFF and remove plug from power outlet.

To avoid burn injury, wait until the appliance has cooled before removing the temperature control.

NOTE: If heating oil, always leave the lid off. If oil smokes, immediately turn skillet "OFF" and allow to cool.

CARE AND CLEANING

Turn temperature control to OFF and unplug cord from power outlet.
Always allow appliance to cool completely before cleaning and removing temperature controller.
Remove the temperature control from unit and wipe clean with a dry towel.
NEVER IMMERSE TEMPERATURE CONTROL IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
Allow base to cool completely before cleaning. Absorb any excess water or grease from base with a paper towel.
Do not immerse the skillet in water or any other liquid or place in dishwasher. The skillet should be wiped with soapy water and dried with a soft cloth. The lid can be washed in soapy water or dishwasher.
NOTE: Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or metal scouring pads for cleaning this appliance.
Do not use metal utensils; they may scratch the non-stick surface.

COOKING TIPS

This skillet is not designed for deep frying.
To pan-fry, do not use more than 4 cups of oil. Select a vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying.
Butter and olive oil should only be used to sauté foods on a lower temperature setting.
Do not attempt to cool the heated cooking surface by pouring cold water into the skillet. The sudden temperature change may cause the cooking surface to warp.
Do not immerse the temperature-control probe, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Make sure that the temperature control inlet, located on the side of the skillet, is completely dry prior to use.
