Frequently Asked Questions - EFP128 Healthy Choice

How do I connect the control probe?

Insert the temperature control probe into the power connection base on the skillet body. Ensure it is fully inserted before plugging the appliance into the wall outlet. Always set the dial to '0' before connecting.

What temperature settings are available?

The skillet has 5 heat levels: 1-2 (100°C) for simmering, 3-4 (150-200°C) for pancakes and braising, 5 (240°C) for stir-frying and grilling. There is also a 'warm' thermostat setting for keeping food warm.

Can I use metal utensils on the non-stick surface?

No, only plastic or wooden utensils should be used to avoid scratching the non-stick coating. Do not cut food directly on the skillet surface.

How should I clean the electric frypan?

Always unplug and let it cool completely. Wash the skillet body and lid with hot soapy water using a sponge or soft cloth. Use mild dishwashing liquid; never abrasive cleaners. Hold the skillet at a 45° angle to prevent water entering the socket. The control probe must never be immersed; wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

What should I do before first use?

Remove all packaging. Boil a full frypan of water twice, discard the water, then wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Ensure the voltage matches your home outlet (220-240V). Never plug in the appliance without water or food inside.

Why does the indicator light turn on and off during cooking?

This is normal. The thermostat automatically cycles to maintain the selected temperature. The light indicates when the heating element is active.

Can I use the skillet with an extension cord?

No, do not use an extension lead or power board. Plug the appliance directly into a wall outlet to avoid fire or electrical hazards.

Is the lid dishwasher safe?

The manual recommends washing the glass lid by hand in warm soapy water with a soft sponge. Dishwasher use is not mentioned; to preserve the lid, hand washing is advised.

What is the warranty period?

The manual does not specify a warranty period. Contact the manufacturer or retailer for warranty details. Retain your proof of purchase.

Can I use the skillet on a stovetop?

No, this is an electric skillet designed for use with its own heating element and control probe. Do not place it on a gas or electric stove.
