Care and Cleaning

Temperature - Timetable

Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash skillet in dishwasher or in warm sudsy water, rinse and dry. Do not immerse Control Masterheat control in water or let it come in contact with any liquid.

For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils. Do not use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick surface. Do not cut foods on the cooking surface.

If there is any food residue remaining on the cooking surface, it should be removed after each use. To do so, scrub gently with a mild abrasive, such as Soft Scrubmild abrasive cleanser* or a fine cleansing pad–nylon mesh or other ordinary cleansing pad. Do not use steel wool or abrasive 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-itCoffee Pot Cleaner** (powder). 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 or drips as they occur. If food should happen to burn on, it is easily removed with warm, sudsy water and a dish cloth. Any food residue remaining can be whisked away with a gentle stroke of a nylon mesh pad. Rinse and wipe dry.

IMPORTANT: To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Masterheat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.

*Add additional liquid during cooking, if necessary, to obtain desired consistency.

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use.

If a long cord set or extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
