Wash the skillet and cover in hot soapy water; rinse thoroughly and dry, including the
terminal pins inside the socket of the skillet
where the temperature control fits.
To ensure stick-free cooking, lightly wipe a
teaspoon of cooking oil with paper toweling
or a soft cloth over the entire interior
surface. Let the oil remain on the surface.
The hardware needed for attachment of
the handle to the lid may be packed in a
small plastic bag or within the handle itself.
For glass lids, align the handle with the hole
in the lid, and then secure with the screw
assembly in the order shown above. DO
NOT overtighten. To attach the strap handle
to the metal lid, align the holes in the strap
handle to the holes in the lid and secure
with the screws. DO NOT overtighten.

KILLET
1. Place appliance on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge. NOTE:
Do not block airflow under the skillet. If you wish to aid grease draining, open the tilt
leg into position before preheating, to allow grease to flow to one side of the skillet.
2. With the temperature control dial set in the "OFF" position, attach it to the skillet.
Plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC electric outlet only. Do not use any temperature
control other than that which came with your skillet.
3. Preheat the skillet, uncovered, for 2 to 4 minutes or until the desired temperature is
reached, unless the recipe states not to preheat. The signal light on temperature
control will be illuminated while the skillet is heating.
4. Refer to the “Temperature Guide” in this booklet for selecting the correct heat
setting. If the food is frozen, use the heat setting indicated, but allow for longer
cooking times.
5. When the cooking temperature has been reached, the signal light will go out. Add
food. The temperature may be increased or decreased depending upon personal
preference and the type or amount of food being prepared. The signal light will
cycle on and off during cooking to indicate that the proper temperature is being
maintained.
6. At the end of the cooking period, set the temperature control at “WARM” for
serving, or “OFF” if the food will be removed immediately from the skillet. After the
dial is set at “OFF,” unplug the cord from the wall outlet.
• A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the
release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
• Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and
cooling – this is normal.
