OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE Hot Wok™

Before first use

Before using for the first time, the cooking surface should be cleaned with a moist cloth. We recommend lightly greasing the cooking surface when using for the first time. This will not be necessary on subsequent occasions.

•It is recommended you remove all labels and wash the Wok Bowl and Glass Lid in hot soapy water. Rinse and thoroughly dry.

•The Wok Base is removable for easy cleaning (see page 14).

•Do not immerse the cord and/or Temperature Control Probe in water or any other liquid.

NOTE

Before inserting the Temperature Control Probe into the Probe Socket, ensure the interior of the Probe Socket is fully dry. To do this, shake out excess water then wipe the interior of the Probe Socket with a dry cloth.

Operating your Wok

1.Place the Wok Bowl onto the Wok Base and lock into place (see page 15).

2.Insert the Temperature Control Probe into the Probe Socket at the side of the Wok. Plug into a 110/120v power outlet. Always insert the Temperature Control Probe into the appliance first, then plug into main power outlet.

3.Preheat the Wok on the ‘High Sear’ setting for approximately 10 minutes. The heating arrow will illuminate and indicates the selected setting.

4.When the heating arrow no longer illuminates, the wok has reached the correct temperature for the selected setting. The Wok is now ready for use. The heating arrow will cycle on and off throughout cooking as the temperature is maintained by the thermostat. Never place oil or food into the Wok while it

is heating, especially when it is cold. This will produce a poor cooking result.

Rotate the Steam Vent on the Glass Lid counter clockwise to allow steam to escape when cooking.

WARNING

Never operate the Hot Wok™ without the base firmly positioned in place.

NOTE

When a high heat is required (eg. for stir frying or searing), select the ‘High Sear’ setting and allow the heating arrow to cycle on and off several times. This will allow the cooking surface to adjust to

a more accurate cooking temperature. Use only the Temperature Control Probe provided with the Hot Wok™. Do not use any other Temperature Control Probe or connector.

5.When cooking is completed, turn the heating arrow to the ‘Off’ position (‘0’ on dial) then unplug from power outlet. Leave the Temperature Control Probe connected to the Wok until it has cooled down.

NOTE

Do not immerse the cord, plug or Temperature Control Probe in water or any other liquid.

•Allow the Wok to cool down before cleaning.

•Before cleaning switch the Wok ‘Off‘ and unplug from the power outlet. Remove the Temperature Control Probe from the Probe Socket by depressing the ‘Easy Release’ lever on the side of the probe.

•Do not leave plastic cooking utensils in contact with the Wok while cooking.

One of the standout features of the BEW600XL is its precise variable temperature settings.

The kettle's 1500-watt heating element provides rapid boiling, making it an efficient option for those who appreciate speed and convenience in their kitchen appliances.

Another notable characteristic of the Breville BEW600XL is its 'Keep Warm' function. Once the desired temperature is reached, this feature can maintain the temperature for up to 20 minutes, allowing users to enjoy multiple cups of tea or coffee without the need to reheat. This is particularly useful for entertaining guests or for home offices where one may enjoy several servings throughout the day.

The kettle also features a 360-degree swivel base for easy handling, which is particularly beneficial for left- and right-handed users alike. Its large spout allows for a smooth pour, minimizing spills and ensuring that water is directed accurately into cups or teapots.

An integrated LCD screen displays the current temperature, so users can easily monitor the status of their heating water. The kettle also has a cord-free design, making it portable and easy to place on any countertop while eliminating clutter from the kitchen.

Safety features are also prioritized in the design of the BEW600XL. It includes automatic shut-off and boil-dry protection, effectively reducing any risk of overheating or damage when the kettle is devoid of water.
