This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only 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 or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

CARE & CLEANING
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SKI LLET Your DuraCeramic Skillet should be cleaned after every use.
1. Unplug the skillet and allow it to cool before cleaning. NOTE: To protect the DuraCeramic coating, do not run cold water over cooking surface immediately after use. 2. Remove the temperature control probe. DO NOT IMMERSE
TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE or SKILLET IN LIQUIDS. 3. Wipe down the cooking surface with a damp cloth and dry
thoroughly. DO NOT use steel wool or other metal pads as this may scratch the surface.
4. The skillet is NOT dishwasher safe. You may wash it with hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE must always be completely dry before use.
For proper care of your DuraCeramic coated skillet, follow the following steps if suborn stains appear:
1. Sprinkle some baking soda on the stained area. 2. Add enough water to moisten the baking soda, making a
paste like texture. 3. Let sit for a few minutes (for tougher stains let sit up to an hour). 4. Lightly scrub with a plastic scouring pad or damp cloth and
dry thoroughly. 5. Repeat if necessary.
Should any stubborn stains appear, they will not affect the performance and non-stick quality of the DuraCeramic coating.
