Cleaning Your Electric WOK

Clean after Every Use: To keep Wok looking attractive and cooking efficiently, clean it thoroughly after each use.

Let Wok Cool By Itself: After using Wok, let it cool by itself. Do not pour cold water into Wok while it is hot or immerse hot Wok into cold water to hasten cooling to prevent warping.

Remove Heat Control: After Wok has cooled, remove heat control and wipe clean with a damp cloth if necessary.

Retighten Loose Handles/Base

In-the-Sink Cleaning - Wash Wok in hot soapy water using a non-metal cleaning pad recommended for non-stick surfaces. If necessary, a non-abrasive cleanser may be used for the outside of the Wok to remove food or oil stains. DO NOT use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on Wok surfaces as scratching may occur. After washing, rinse and dry.

Wash the cover and rack (if included) in hot soapy water using a dishcloth or sponge. Do not use any type of scouring pad or cleanser on cover as scratching will occur. The aluminum underside of the cover may discolor after use, which is normal. After cleansing, rinse and dry.

Dishwasher Cleaning - The Wok, with heat control removed, cover and rack, may be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher. Position pieces into the dishwasher rack so they do not touch one another or other objects being cleaned. The aluminum underside of the cover may darken with continuous dishwasher cleaning, which is normal. After each time the Wok pan is cleaned in the dishwasher, the non-stick interior surface must be reconditioned with cooking oil.

Special Cleaning Instructions - A spotted white film may form on the non-stick surface. This is a buildup of minerals and not a defect in the finish. To remove, soak a soft cloth in lemon juice or vinegar and rub onto the finish. After cleansing, wash, rinse and dry. Recondition the non-stick surface with cooking oil before using.

After consistent use, the non-stick surface may discolor. Minor stains are normal and do not affect the performance of the Wok. Dark staining, however, which usually results from overheating and/or improper cleaning, may lessen the effectiveness of the non-stick property. If staining occurs, treat with a commercial cleaner for non- stick finishes such as coffee pot stain remover (available in most grocery stores). Follow the package directions. If staining is severe, simmer longer or repeat cleaning. (Do not use household bleach to clean the non-stick finish, as it will permanently fade it). After using commercial cleaner, wash Wok thoroughly, rinse and dry. Recondition the non-stick interior surface with a teaspoon of cooking oil before using.
