Introduction

Conditioning of the Non-Stick Coated Pan

Before using your new appliance, wash the inside of the pan with warm, soapy water and dry. When washing the skillet, make sure the temperature controller is removed. Rub a film of cooking or salad oil all over the non-stick coating on the inside of the pan. Remove any excess oil with a cloth or paper towel.

The OSTER® Electric Skillet is now ready for use and it is unnecessary to condition it again.

Using the Oster® Electric Skillet

1.Push the temperature controller firmly into its socket found at the side of the appliance. Plug into a standard 120 Volt AC outlet.

2.Set the temperature you want by turning the knob on the temperature controller. The indicator light will come on. Set the temperature of your choice opposite the indicator light. When the light goes off, the chosen cooking temperature has been reached. During cooking, the light will blink on and off indicating the temperature is being maintained. Guidance in the choice of temperatures is supplied later in this book.

3.It is recommended that you not cook with the Electric Skillet standing on temperature sensitive surfaces.

4.For simmering, set the temperature controller to SIMMER and wait until the liquid boils.

5.Do not use metal utensils in your Electric Skillet as they may damage the non-stick coating. Wood or plastic coated spatulas are best. If you use plastic tools, make sure they are suitable for use on hot surfaces.

6.To remove the temperature controller, first unplug from the wall outlet, then gently remove the controller from the socket.

7.No preheating is needed when using the product.
