IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against electric shock, do not spill on or immerse cord, plug, or
Temperature Control in water or other liquids.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or
electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number
listed on the cover of this manual.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter where it can be
accidentally pulled or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other
hot liquids.
Always attach Temperature Control to the Skillet first, then plug the cord into
the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the Control to "Off," then remove the plug
from the wall outlet.
Do not use the Skillet for other than intended use.
When oil is heated to a high temperature in any vessel, flammable gases are
given off. Do not expose a flame to these gases as they could ignite and
cause a fire hazard. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or
flammable fumes.
To avoid eruption, burns and fire hazards, never cover the Skillet when
heating oil.
This appliance is intended for household use only, not for commercial or
industrial use. Use for anything other than intended will void the warranty.

GROUNDED PLUG (120V Models Only)
As a safety feature, this product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only fit
into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Improper
connection of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of electric shock. Consult
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
SPECIAL ATTENTION:
The use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if it is absolutely
necessary, be sure that the cord is (1) No. 14 AWG minimum size and rated no less than
1875 watts; (2) UL Listed; (3) as short as possible (long cords can overheat, as well as
trip circuit breakers); (4) not used for operating more than one appliance at a time.
ASSEMBLE BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Place the Skillet Pan upside down on a table or counter and remove the screws. Be
sure the metal washers remain in place over the holes.
2. Position each Handle overhanging the edge of the counter for easier assembly so
that the holes in the Handles line up with the holes in the raised "mounting" area on
the bottom of the Skillet Pan.
NOTE: For models with the Tilt-Leg Feature, decide which side of the Pan you would
like to have raised (see "Tilt-Leg Feature"). We recommend installing the handle with
the tilt-leg on the control side so that juices will flow to the opposite end for easier
basting; however, you may choose either side.
3. Use the screws to secure the Handles to the Skillet Pan. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN as it
may crack the Handles. Turn the Skillet Pan back over and place it on a flat, level
surface to be sure the Handles and Feet sit level.
