PARTS & FEATURES

Family Skillet

Control Probe Detail

1. Insert the Lid Support (the U-shaped bar) into the holes in the base (photo A).
2. Use the wingnuts to secure the Lid Support. Turn the wingnuts clockwise to tighten (photo B).
   The Lid Rest is designed to be used with lids that are up to 14.5” in diameter. To use, place the edge of the lid on either side of the base and lean it against the Lid Support. Take care when placing the lid so that the support does not become unstable. Always wipe dry after use.
   NOTE: The Lid Rest can also be used as a spoon rest. If used this way, be sure to clean your Lid Rest after use.

using your Family skillet

Clean the Family Skillet and all of its components prior to assembly and use. DO NOT use the Skillet near water or other liquids, with wet hands, or while standing on a wet surface. Make sure the Handles are securely fastened to the Base prior to each use. Do not touch the Base or Non-Stick Pan without heat- protective cooking gloves while the Family Skillet is in use.
Note: When using your Family Skillet for the first time, you will need to attach the Knob to the Glass Lid with a screwdriver. Attach just enough so that the Knob does not become loose when on the Lid. CAUTION: Do not overtighten the Knob.

1. Set the Base on a clean, stable, and dry surface.
2. Unwind the power cord to the preferred length. Inspect the cord for any signs of damage or significant wear.
3. Plug the Control Probe Connector into the Control Probe Socket located on the Base of the Family Skillet. Be sure to properly align the Connector’s single prong with the middle hole before pushing in the Control Probe connector .
4. Make sure the Temperature Control Dial located on the Control Probe is set to “Off”, and then plug your Family Skillet into an outlet or power supply.
5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial clockwise to “Low”. It is strongly recommended that you do not begin cooking at a high temperature as this will likely cause the food to splatter or burn when placed in the Non-Stick Pan.
6. Place your ingredients into the Non-Stick Pan. Allow the food to cook for several minutes. Increase the heat until you reach the temperature that is appropriate for your recipe.
7. When you are finished cooking with your Family Skillet, turn the Temperature Control Dial to “Off”. Wait for your Family Skillet to cool before cleaning the appliance.

Temperature Settings Guide
The Temperature Control Dial has 3 heat levels. The Indicator Light located on the Control Probe will glow orange when the Family Skillet is turned on.

Note: You may want to use the Glass Lid to increase the heat level or decrease cooking time. When placed over the Non-Stick Pan, the Glass Lid locks in heat and moisture, allowing foods to cook at a faster pace. This also prevents the food from drying out in the Pan.

Low

| Use for simmering sauces or stews, poaching eggs, cooking bacon, for caramelizing onions, reheating

food, or for melting butter.

Medium

| Use for scrambling or frying eggs, making grilled cheese, stir frying, or sautéing.

High

| Use for boiling water or soup, searing meat, making pancakes, cooking hamburgers or meatballs.

non-stick Pan: The Family Skillet’s Non-Stick surface helps to prevent food from adhering to the Pan. Metal utensils may scratch or dent the Non- Stick Pan. To avoid damaging your Dash Family Skillet, make  sure to use only wooden, nylon, or silicone cooking utensils when preparing your food.

cleaning & maintenance

Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean your appliance as this may damage the Family Skillet. To prevent damage to the Non-Stick Pan, make sure to dry thoroughly after washing. Any other services should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Cleaning Your Dash Family Skillet:
Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the “Off” position before unplugging and cleaning. The Non-Stick Pan should be cooled down before attempting to clean. Do not submerge the Base or Control Probe in water or other liquids. Instead, unplug the Control Probe and place in a safe, dry place. Fill the Non-Stick Pan with a small amount of warm, soapy water and gently scrub with a sponge until clean. Carefully rinse the Pan so that no extra soap remains, making sure not to wet the Control Probe Socket.

• Wash the Glass Lid in warm, soapy water.
•  Wipe down the Base with a damp cloth.
• Thoroughly dry the Family Skillet before storing.

CARING FOR Your LID REST:
If used as either a Lid or Spoon rest, be sure to wipe it clean with a damp soapy sponge after use. Rinse sponge and wipe any soap residue away. Dry thoroughly after each use to avoid discoloration. Abrasive sponges and cleaners are not recommended as they may damage the stainless finish. If spots occur and an abrasive cleaner is used, wipe with the grain of the stainless steel.
The Lid Rest is dishwasher-safe.
