They are equipped with a solid-state thermostat and high-limit control with a 100 °F to 450 °F temperature scale.

Basic Functions

The UniVerse Tilting Skillet is a very versatile cooking appliance. It can perform basic cooking functions, such as braising meat, sautéing, pan-frying chicken, steaming vegetables, boiling, and simmering. Refer to – Cooking Guidelines Section, which gives detailed information on the various types of food products that can be cooked in the skillet.

Basic Operation

  1. Ensure that electric power connection has been made correctly and that branch circuit breaker at building supply box is ON.

  2. Ensure that skillet is in full down position and clean before using.
    NOTICE Electric power automatically shuts off when skillet is tilted more than 10̊ above normal horizontal cooking position

  3. Set thermostat at desired temperature by turning thermostat control knob clockwise. See Cooking Guidelines Section for thermostat settings.

  4. Preheat to desired temperature (with cover down) before grilling, pan-frying, or any other method of cooking except boiling.
    NOTICE For best results, allow unit to cycle ON/OFF once.

  5. Ensure that cover is up for most types of cooking except for simmering, braising, or boiling. Cover has drip-lip at rear to direct condensate into skillet.

  6. Remove cooked food immediately to prevent over-cooking. Tilt skillet by turning hand crank clockwise or pushing tilt switch.

  7. Lower skillet by turning hand crank counterclockwise or pushing tilt switch.

Turn thermostat control knob counterclockwise to OFF when no further heating is desired.

Unit must be cleaned after each use. Proceed as follows:

  1. When all food has been removed from skillet, add water to loosen/dissolve any remaining food.

  2. Wash skillet using mild detergent, water and nylon brush. If food is stuck to skillet surface, soak and apply heat to loosen food.
    CAUTION Do not get water on wiring or in controls. Be sure to wash inside of skillet pan, inside of cover including under drip-lip, and pouring spout area.

  3. Rinse and dry entire unit.

Cleaning

Cleaning Instructions

  • WARNING
    Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before cleaning or servicing.

  • CAUTION
    The equipment and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing.

  • WARNING
    Never spray water into electric controls or components!

  • CAUTION
    Do not use cleaning agents that are corrosive.

Before cleaning allow the tilting skillet to cool and then clean it. Keep exposed cleanable areas of the tilting skillet clean at all times. Do not get water in electrical box or any electrical component.

  1. Thoroughly wash pan, pouring spout, lid and exterior surfaces with detergent and warm water. If necessary, soak pan to remove food that is stuck to pan surface. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
  2. Clean removable strainer and receiving pan support with detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.

What To Do If Surface Rust Appears
Metal utensils should never be used as they will scratch the surface of the equipment and rust may begin to form. To remove surface accumulation of rust from the inadvertent use of such utensils, the following procedure may be used

CAUTION
Improper use of this procedure may damage your appliance

  1. Use undiluted white vinegar with a non-abrasive scouring pad (plastic) or cloth on the affected area to remove the rust stain. The appliance should not be heated and remain at room temperature during the entire cleaning process.
  2. If the stain resists removal, additional exposure time with vinegar may be required, to a maximum of one hour.
  3. Thoroughly wash all of the vinegar away with fresh clear water. Dry the surface completely and allow one hour before using the appliance to cook.

Following daily and period maintenance procedures will prolong the life for your equipment. Climatic conditions – salt air – may require more thorough and frequent cleaning or the life of the equipment could be adversely affected

Stainless Steel

  • To remove normal dirt, grease or product residue from stainless steel, use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Never use vinegar or any other corrosive cleaner.
  • To remove grease and food splatters or condensed vapours that have baked on the equipment, apply cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines. Rubbing cleanser as gently as possible in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR MOTION.
  • Soil and burn deposits which do not respond to the above procedure can usually be removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE™ scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL as any particles left on the surface will rust and further spoil the appearance of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING PADS (EXCEPT STAINLESS), SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS. Surfaces which are marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also increases the possibility of corrosive attack. Refinishing may then be required.
  • TO REMOVE HEAT TINT: Darkened areas sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective surface of the stainless steel and is not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the foregoing, but tint which does not respond to this procedure calls for a vigorous scouring in the direction of the polish lines using SCOTCH-BRITE™ scouring pads or a STAINLESS scouring pad in combination with a powdered cleanser. Heat tint action may be lessened by not applying or by reducing heat to equipment during slack periods. All food contact surfaces must be thoroughly drained and flushed prior to cooking in the kettle.
  • CONTROL PANEL: The textured control panel should be cleaned with warm water and mild soap. Never use an abrasive cloth or steel wool. Never use cleaning solvents with a hydrocarbon base

Maintenance

  • NOTICE
    Contact the factory, the factory representative or a local service company to perform maintenance and repairs.

  • WARNING
    The tilting skillet pan and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing the tilting skillet.

  • WARNING
    Disconnect electrical power supply and place a tag at the disconnect switch to indicate that you are working on the circuit before performing any maintenance.

Adjustments

  • All tilting skillets are adjusted at the factory.
  • At least twice a year, have an authorized service person clean and adjust the tilting skillet for maximum performance.
