5. Remove the lid and preheat the electric skillet by turning the tem-
perature control knob to the desired temperature. Adjust the cook-

If heating oil, ALWAYS remove the lid. If the cooking oil smokes,
immediately turn the temperature control knob to oFF and allow

Helpful Tip: To pan-fry, select either vegetable or peanut oil. DO NOT use

to deep fry foods.
