5. Maintenance & Cleaning
- Disconnect Power: Always unplug the electrical probe from the wall outlet and then from the skillet before cleaning. Allow the skillet to cool completely.
- Remove Electrical Probe: Detach the electrical probe from the skillet. The probe is not dishwasher safe and should not be immersed in water. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
- Dishwasher Cleaning: The skillet interior, lid, and body (without the electrical probe) are dishwasher safe. Place them on the top rack for best results.
- Hand Washing: For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or metal scouring pads, as these can damage the nonstick coating.
- Nonstick Surface Care: The Eterna® nonstick coating is designed for durability. To prolong its life, avoid using metal utensils that could scratch the surface. Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils.
- Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing. Store the skillet and its components in a clean, dry place.
