Wash, rinse and dry the wok, lid, rack,

and detachable base to remove any dust or particles due to shipping. DO NOT IMMERSE THE PROBE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

WARNING: Ensure that your temperature probe and wok socket are completely dry prior to inserting probe into Wok socket

Season the cooking surface by applying a thin coat of cooking oil to the nonstick surface with a paper towel. This appliance requires 1500 watts and should be the only appliance operating on the circuit. Plug the Wok into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC only outlet.

DETACHABLE BASE

The base should always be removed when cleaning your wok. To remove simply turn the wok upside down and remove the locking screw by turning counter-clockwise. See Figure 1. Lift the base straight up to remove, (see Figure 2) to reattach the base simply line up the notch for the temperature control on the base to the socket on the wok. Replace the locking screw by turning clockwise.

REMOVABLE ADJUSTABLE

TEMPERATURE PROBE

Your temperature has a quick release handle allowing you to effortlessly remove the probe from the wok by simply squeezing the lever into the probe. The adjustable temperature

probe has been designed to match the settings of a standard stovetop control. There are 5 settings comprised of Min, Keep Warm, Medium, High, and Sear. You will notice during the cooking process that the light will cycle on and off. This indicates that the adjustable thermostat is cycling to ensure the set temperature is maintained.

Using Your Electric Wok

WARNING: Ensure that your Wok base is FIRMLY attached to the bottom of the wok prior to use. NEVER attempt to cook without the base attached.

WARNING: The exterior of your wok becomes very hot during use, similar to any cooking vessel on a stovetop. Do not touch any hot surfaces, use handles or knobs. Do not attempt to move your wok until it has completely cooled.

1Place your Electric Wok on a flat, stable, level surface.

2Insert the temperature probe control into the socket on the Wok.

3Plug the cord into a 120-volt 60 Hz AC only outlet. This appliance requires 1500 watts and should be the only appliance operating on the circuit.

4Set the temperature control to the temperature desired. The indicator light will turn on.

5Once the selected temperature has been reached, the indicator light on the temperature control will switch off; however we recommend that you preheat the wok for 10 minutes to allow the heat to reach up the sides of the cooking surface. The light will cycle on and off as the selected temperature is maintained.

6When you have finished cooking your meal set the temperature control to MIN before unplugging from the outlet. Allow the Wok to cool completely before moving or cleaning.
