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 rst 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 o
automatically to maintain dierent 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 90°C ±20°C
2 120°C ±20°C
3 150°C ±20°C
4 170°C ±20°C
5 190°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 Sunower, 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 o 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 sucient 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.
