Wash Wok, cover and rack (if included), in hot soapy water with a dishcloth or
sponge to remove any manufacturing oils. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
CONDITION THE NON-STICK INTERIOR SURFACE - The non-stick surface must
be conditioned to ensure stick-free cooking. Lightly wipe a teaspoon of cooking oil
over the entire interior surface with a paper towel or soft cloth. Do not use
shortening or butter. Let the oil remain on the surface. The Wok is now ready to
use.
ASSEMBLE COVER KNOB (IF APPLICABLE)
Parts included: Cover knob, protector and screw
From underside of cover, insert the end of screw through the
center hole. Place protector dome side up, on the topside of
cover over screw. See diagram:
Place knob on screw: inserting end of screw into the treaded
opening. Turn knob to tighten onto screw. Do not over
tighten screw to prevent stripping of threads. Do not use cover without knob
attached.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS - Since Wok cooking is very rapid, all foods should be
prepared (peeled, shelled, sliced, diced, cubed etc) before the heat control is turned
on.
Operating the Wok
1. Always use Wok on a dry, level, heat-resistance surface away from the edge. Be
sure your hands are dry.
2. Attach heat control to Wok, making sure it is set at “OFF.” Plug cord into a 120
volt, AC electrical outlet ONLY.
3. Follow recipe as directed. If recipe recommends preheating, do so with Wok
uncovered, containing oil, at the recommended temperature setting. The signal
light on the heat control will be on when the Wok is heating and go out when the
selected temperature has been reached. Heat may be increased or decreased
during the cooking period. The signal light will go on/off during cooking to indicate
cooking temperature is being maintained.
4. For best results when stir-frying, add 1-2 cups of food at a time to the bottom of
the Wok, stirring frequently with 2 wooden spoons until desired doneness is
reached. Then push food up on the sides of the Wok. Continue this process until
all the foods are cooked then combine for serving. NOTE: do not add larger
amounts of food to the Wok at a time as this will result in loss of temperature and
foods will simmer rather than sizzle.
5. At the end of cooking time, set heat control at WARM for serving or set at OFF if
food will be removed immediately from the Wok. After set at OFF unplug cord
from the wall outlet
