This is a
Listed appliance. The following important safeguards are recommended by most portable appliance
manufacturers.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse control, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or in the event the appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Do not operate if the legs become cracked or damaged. Return the appliance to the Presto
Factory Service Department (see page 13) for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot liquid. If it must be moved
when it contains hot oil or other hot liquid, use extreme caution.
12. Always attach heat control to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn control to OFF then

STEAMING: Food is placed on a rack or in a basket over, but not in, simmering liquid. Bring the liquid to a boil with the
temperature set at 350°. Once the liquid is boiling, place cover on pan and turn down the heat until the pilot light goes out.
BAKING: Pancakes and French toast can be baked directly in the skillet without the cover. Upside-down-cakes can be baked
directly in the skillet with the cover on. Also, cake batters can be placed in baking pans and placed on a rack in the skillet and
baked with the cover in place. Because the top of a cake will not brown, don’t judge doneness by the color. Instead use another
method specified in your recipe, such as using a toothpick or pushing down in the center to determine when the food is done.
To compensate for the lack of browning on top of baked goods, cover them with glazes, toppings, or frosting.
STIR FRYING: The benefit of this method is its speed and the resulting flavor of the food. During stir-frying, food is continu-
ally tossed or stirred to ensure the food is evenly exposed to heat. This skillet works well for stir frying because it has a fast
and hot preheat and good heat retention. Stir-frying is best accomplished at 350° to 400°.
Care and Cleaning
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash skillet in hot, soapy water and rinse and dry thoroughly, or wash skillet
in an automatic dishwasher. Wipe Control Master heat control with a damp cloth. DO nOT IMMeRSe heAT COnTROL
In WATeR OR LeT IT COMe In COnTACT WITh Any LIQUID.
Food residue may be removed from skillet by scrubbing in a circular motion with a nylon mesh cleaning pad, such as Scotch-
Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponge, or a stainless steel scouring pad.
Helpful Hint: For quick, effective and easy cleaning that virtually eliminates scrubbing, use the following method: Pour enough
water into the emptied skillet to cover food residue. Cover and turn Control Master heat control to 250°. Bring water to a
boil and while water is boiling, scrape the skillet with a wooden or plastic spatula until the food is loosened. Remove heat
control and wash skillet in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
If the cooking surface has mottling, stubborn, brown or tacky food residue, or if the skillet has developed straw colored or
rainbow discoloration as a result of prolonged exposure to high heat, use a powdered cleanser without chlorine or bleach,
such as Bar Keepers Friend* cleanser and polish or Cameo*copper, brass, & porcelain cleaner. Moisten the skillet with water.
Shake a film of cleaner over the cooking surface. Using a nylon mesh cleaning pad such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub
Sponge*, scrub the skillet in a circular motion. Wash the skillet in hot, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The FOL-

To maintain the high quality appearance of stainless steel appliances, avoid using metal utensils in them. In addition, avoid
cutting or chopping food in the appliance with a knife or other sharp utensil. To avoid pitting or creating white dots on the
cooking surface, bring liquids to a boil before adding salt. Stir thoroughly.
IMPORTANT: To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.
Do not overheat or allow the skillet to boil dry as this will cause the skillet to discolor.
Glass Cover Care and Use Instructions
Caution:Your glass cover may break for no apparent reason if you fail to follow these instructions. Broken glass can cause
personal or property damage.
Do not use cover if it is chipped or cracked. handle cover carefully and avoid rough handling.
Do not handle hot cover with wet towel or place hot cover on a cold or wet surface. Sudden, extreme changes in temperature
may cause glass to break. Allow cover to cool before washing. This cover is dishwasher safe. Keep the cover clean. Do not use
steel wool cleaning pads or abrasive powders which can scratch or weaken the glass. nonabrasive pads or powders may be
used if necessary. Do not scrape or gouge glass with hard or sharp utensils.
