4. Operating Instructions

The Beautiful 5-in-1 Electric Skillet offers versatile cooking functions. Always ensure the unit is properly assembled and plugged into a standard electrical outlet before operation.

4.1 Temperature Control

• The removable heat control probe allows for precise temperature adjustments.
• Turn the dial to select your desired cooking temperature. The skillet provides consistent heat for various recipes.
• The indicator light on the probe will illuminate when heating and turn off once the set temperature is reached. It will cycle on and off during cooking to maintain the temperature.

4.2 Cooking Functions

• Sautéing/Searing: Add a small amount of oil or butter to the non-stick surface. Preheat the skillet to the desired temperature. Add ingredients and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned or cooked through.
• Simmering: After browning ingredients, add liquids (broth, sauce, etc.) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low setting to maintain a gentle simmer. The glass lid helps retain moisture.
• Steaming: Place the steam rack in the skillet with approximately 1 inch of water below it. Bring the water to a boil, then place vegetables or other items on the rack. Cover with the glass lid and steam until tender.
• Serving: The skillet's stylish design allows it to double as a serving dish, making it convenient to take from countertop to table.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your electric skillet.

• Always unplug the heat control probe from the skillet and the wall outlet before cleaning. Allow the unit to cool completely.
• Skillet Unit, Extender, and Steam Rack: These components are dishwasher-safe. Alternatively, they can be washed by hand in warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the non-stick coating.
• Glass Lid: The glass lid is also dishwasher-safe or can be hand-washed.
• Heat Control Probe: The heat control probe is NOT dishwasher-safe and should never be immersed in water or other liquids. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
• Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing. Store the skillet and its components in a dry place.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your electric skillet, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Skillet not heating: Ensure the heat control probe is fully inserted into the skillet's receptacle and the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the temperature dial is set to an active heating temperature (not 'OFF' or 'WARM' if higher heat is desired).
• Food sticking: Although the skillet has a premium non-stick coating, always use a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Ensure the skillet is preheated to the correct temperature before adding food. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the non-stick surface; use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils.
• Uneven heating: Ensure the skillet is placed on a flat, stable surface. The powerful heating element is designed for even heat distribution, but extreme cold spots in ingredients or uneven loading can affect results.
