3. To assure proper installation of skillet handles, place assembled
unit on a flat surface. It should sit level.
4. To attach knob to cover, Fig. B, place the base plate over the
cover so the hole in the base plate is aligned with the center hole
in the cover and the black nub is positioned in the nub hole (this
will prevent the knob from rotating once it is installed). Place
the cover knob over the base plate and secure the knob and base
plate to the cover with the rubber washer, the metal washer, and
screw. Fasten securely.

this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other).This plug will only fit in a polarized outlet one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety feature.

control to desired temperature
(see page 2 for cooking
temperatures).Remove cover
and preheat skillet. Pilot
light goes off when selected
temperature is reached (this
takes approximately 10 to 15
minutes).
5. Prepare food for cooking.
6. Because the skillet features a nonstick finish, food may be
prepared with or without shortening, according to taste.
7. Place food in skillet and cook according to temperature-
timetable (page 2). 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.
