Before first use
• Pour a small amount of hot, lightly soapy water
into the inside of the Wok and wash with a
non-scratch nylon pan scourer or brush.
• Pour the soapy water away and repeat
with clean water to rinse.
• Never immerse either the Wok or Heat
Control Probe in water.
• Dry thoroughly.
Non-stick care
• The Wok should be prepared before first use
and subsequently every few months by seasoning
with a light coating of cooking oil applied to the
inner cooking surface using a paper towel.
• Use only nylon or wooden utensils when cooking
to maintain the life of the non-stick coating.
Wash only with a non-scratch nylon pan scourer
or brush.
How To Use
• Insert the Heat Control Probe into the Probe
Receptacle at the side of the Base , with
the Temperature Control Dial facing upwards.
• Plug the Power Cable into a mains socket
(check your supply is compatible with the Rating
Information) and switch on at the socket.
Thermostat
The Temperature Control Dial can be set
at levels from 1-5. The thermostat turns on and
off automatically to maintain different levels of
heat. A rough guide to the median teperature
(with oil) at each level is shown below.
Dial Level Rough Median Temperature (With Oil)
1 100°C ±20°C
2 130°C ±20°C
3 160°C ±20°C
4 190°C ±20°C
5 220°C ±20°C
Stir Frying
Stir frying is a quick cooking
method conducted over very
high heat, typically at a setting
of 4 or 5 on the Temperature
Control Dial . Both the Wok
and oil should be preheated
before adding any ingredients.
Stir Frying Tips
• Choose a cooking oil with
a high smoke point such
as Sunflower, Groundnut,
Peanut or Corn Oil, all of
which can be heated to
higher temperatures without
burning.
• Ensure that the oil has been
preheated to the correct
temperature before cooking.
• Be sure to maintain heat
when stir frying by cooking
food in small batches. Use a
tossing motion to ensure the
food is evenly exposed to
the heat.
• Vegetables and meat should
be cut into uniform shapes
and sizes before starting,
as stir-frying relies on quick
cooking for best results.
• Slice meats into thin strips
(about 5cm) so that they
can cook quickly.
• If stir-frying marinated
meat strips, drain off excess
marinade as it tends to boil,
which toughens the meat.
• Do not use the lid when stir
frying.
• Serve stir fry foods
immediately to retain their
crispness.

Shallow Frying
Shallow frying is a method used
to cook foods in a small amount of
oil. The food is cooked at a lower
temperature, typically at a setting of
1-2 on the Temperature Control Dial
, so that a brown crust forms on the
underside. The food is then turned over
to brown the other side. Usually 1 cup
of oil is sufficient for shallow frying.
Braising and Stewing
• Braising is a variation on stir frying
where liquid is added at the end of
stir frying and the ingredients are left
to simmer, usually uncovered and
typically at a setting of 2-3 on the
Temperature Control Dial .
• The Wok can be used to make stews
and casseroles. The lid should be left
on when stewing.
Cleaning after cooking
• Pour a small amount of hot, soapy
water into the inside of the Wok
and allow to soak for a few minutes
before washing. Remove food
deposits a non-scratch nylon pan
scourer or brush. Repeat as necessary,
rinse and dry thoroughly.
• The outside of the Wok , the Heat
Control Probe and the Base
may be cleaned with a cloth slightly
dampened in a solution of washing
up liquid in hot water. Take care not
to get any of these parts too wet.
• The Vented Glass Lid should be
either be washed in a solution of hot,
soapy water or in the dishwasher. No
other parts of the Wok are suitable
for immersion in water or washing in
a dishwasher.
