HOW TO ASSEMBLE

1. Place skillet upside down on table or counter.

2. Remove the four screws from mounting projections on the skillet body.

3. Position the handles on the skillet, lining up holes in the handles with mounting projections on

the skillet.

4. Replace the screws and fasten securely, Fig. A. Caution: Overtightening can result in stripping of

screws or cracking of handles and legs. When properly assembled, the skillet should sit level.

5. To attach knob to cover, Fig. B, place cover knob upside down on counter and place base plate,

with large side facing up, over knob. Position skillet cover upside down over large rubber washer

so the hole in the cover is aligned with the hole in the washer and the hole in the base plate.

Secure the knob and base plate to the cover with the small rubber washer, the metal washer, and

screw. Fasten securely.

HOW TO USE

Before using for the ﬁrst time, wash skillet and cover in dishwasher or in warm, sudsy water, rinse,

and dry. Do not immerse Control Master



heat control or let the heat control come in contact with

any liquid. “Season” the nonstick cooking surface by rubbing lightly with cooking oil. Remove

excess oil with paper towel.

1. Place skillet on a dry, level, heat resistant surface.

2. Insert the Control Master



heat control probe into the skillet so the two electrical pins on the

skillet are fully inserted into the heat control. Connect cord to outlet.

3. Turn Control Master



heat control to desired temperature (see page 3 for cooking temperatures).

Remove cover and preheat skillet. Pilot light goes off when selected temperature is reached (this

takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes).

4. Prepare food for cooking. Because the skillet features a nonstick ﬁnish, food may be prepared

with little or no oil.

5. Place food in skillet and cook according to temperature-timetable (page 3). Heat should be adjusted according to personal

preference and particular food being cooked. During cooking, pilot light will go on and off indicating desired temperature is

being maintained.

6. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet then from appliance.

CARE AND CLEANING

Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash skillet and cover in dishwasher or in warm sudsy water, rinse, and dry. Do

not immerse Control Master



heat 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.

After each use, clean the nonstick surface with a non-metal cleaning pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponge*

or Scotch-Brite*

Dobie Cleaning Pad**. Firm pressure can be applied, if necessary. 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-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.

IMPORTANT: To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master



heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.
