USER MANUAL SK200C BLACK & DECKER

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

Read all instructions.

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 and before cleaning the appliance.

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been 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 on the cover of this manual.

The use of attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injuries.

Do not use outdoors.

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter when 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.

Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

Always attach temperature control to the skillet first, then plug cord in the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off," then remove the plug from the wall outlet.

Do not use the appliance for other than intended use. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This product is for household use only. GROUNDED PLUG (Canada Models Only) This product is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this 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. POLARIZED PLUG (US Models Only) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will 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 modify the plug in any way. ELECTRICAL CORD a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord

or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should

be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over

the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning : This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent

removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel. Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel. In Latin America by an authorized service center.4

Note: † indicates consumer replaceable/removable parts Product may vary slightly from what is illustrated. How To Use This product is for household use only.

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. “Conditioning” The Pan Important: Before first use, remove the control and wash the skillet pan and lid in soapy water; dry thoroughly. To preserve the nonstick coating, condition the pan by spreading a light coating of cooking oil over the inside surfaces. Wipe away excess oil with a paper towel. Do not use nonstick cooking spray to condition. You will not have to re-condition again after first use. Note: Only use the temperature control provided with this skillet. Other controls may fit but will not provide proper performance.

1. Set the temperature control to “Off” and push the

probe firmly into the socket on the skillet pan (A). Be sure the control is securely inserted. Always attach the control to the pan FIRST before plugging into an outlet.

2. Preheat the skillet pan before adding any grease or

vegetable oil unless the recipe says to add fats first. Some foods do not require skillet preheating. Use the charts in this book as a guide for procedures. To preheat the skillet, turn the temperature control knob to the recommended setting. When the signal light goes out, the skillet is preheated. During cooking, the signal light will cycle on and off indicating that the temperature selected is being maintained.

3. Some recipes call for simmering which means to cook foods in liquid just

below the boiling point. The simmer point varies depending on the type of liquid and amount of food. To simmer, bring the food or liquid to a boil by turning the temperature control knob to around 350°F (177°C). When the liquid begins to boil, slowly turn the control knob back until the signal light goes out. Cover and simmer for the length of time necessary. The light will cycle on and off frequently to maintain the simmer temperature.

4. While the handles and base “feet” are heat-resistant, do not cook on heat-

sensitive surfaces. Once cooking is complete, you can remove the control to bring the skillet pan to a table for easy serving. To remove, be sure the control is unplugged and set at Off. Using a pot holder or mitt, hold the Skillet with one hand and the pull the temperature control out from the pan with the other. Note: Some counter and table surfaces are sensitive to heat. Take care to avoid damaging linoleum, vinyl tile, painted or varnished surfaces. Heat-resistant formica and porcelain enamel surfaces are not affected providing the underside of the pan is clean. When in doubt, use a heat-resistant pad or hot plate under the skillet.

5. Use plastic, rubber, nonstick coated, or wood utensils when cooking and

serving. If using metal utensils, take care not to dig into the nonstick finish. Do not cut food on the surface using a knife to avoid scratching the nonstick coating.

6. To prevent accidental burning, use pot holders when touching the lid and lift it

only by the top handle. Use pot holders and extreme caution when moving the skillet if it contains hot liquids. Tilt-Leg Feature (Certain Models Only) The tilt-leg raises one side of the skillet slightly so that oils, fats, or other liquids will drain to the opposite side as they collect. This feature is great for pan broiling and basting foods while cooking. To use, pull the Leg straight down so that it stands under the handle (B). Be careful not to pull too far as you may break it. Caution: Be careful not to push down on or strain the tilt-leg. Care and Cleaning This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

1. Unplug the cord, remove the temperature control by pulling it straight out, and

allow the skillet pan to cool completely before cleaning. Caution: The Control may be warm after long use so be careful when removing it. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL HAS BEEN REMOVED, the pan and lid can be completely immersed in soapy water or placed in a dishwasher. The lid is dishwasher-safe — TOP RACK ONLY. Over time and use, the lid may discolor: this is normal.

2. If washing by hand, use a sponge or nylon pad with liquid detergent. Do not

use any abrasive cleaners, coarse cleansers, or metal pads as they may damage the nonstick coated surface. After washing, dry the pan thoroughly giving special attention to the socket area. Do no use metal pads to clean electrical pins. General Temperature Ranges Warm Setting Used to keep foods that have been prepared in the skillet at serving temperature for a short period of time. Adjust temperature up to keep foods warm for longer periods of time. Low Heat – 200°F to 250°F (93°C – 121°C) Use for warming, simmering, steaming, and gentle boiling. Some foods are started at higher temperatures then reduced to low heat to finish the cooking process. Use for cooking special dessert sauces, such as Cherries Jubilee, and puddings. Medium Heat — 250°F to 325°F (121°C – 163°C) Use for eggs, bacon, and sausage, or to sauté vegetables such as onions, green pepper, or mushrooms. Also to cook roasts and other cuts of meat after they have been browned at higher temperatures. High Heat — 325°F to 400°F (163°C – 204°C) Use to brown, sear, pan fry (with fat), and pan broil meats without fat and to stir fry meats and vegetables (with fat). Breaded foods such as vegetables, meats, fish, and poultry are pan fried in this temperature range with a small quantity of fat. Cooking Guides The cooking temperatures and times in the GUIDES are approximate. You may have to adjust them depending on food size, quantity, temperature, and personal taste. Foods at room temperature need less cooking time than foods taken from the refrigerator. You might need to reduce the temperature/time for small quantities of food.
