kitchen cleaners. Soaking the skillet to loosen food residue is not necessary. If, however, 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 nonstick finish may darken over the heating element. To remove this discoloration, use a commercial cleaner designed for
cleaning surfaces, such as dip-it* destainer. These cleaners are available at most grocery and hardware stores. For best results, follow
the manufacturer's instructions, being careful that any cleaning solution coming in 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 a 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, sudsy water and a cleaning pad. Rinse and wipe dry.
Periodically check the screws on the handle and legs for looseness. Retighten, if necessary. CAUTION: Overtightening can result in
stripping of screws or cracking of handles and legs.
