INTRODUCTION

Your 7.3-quart wok is big enough to make one-pot meals for the family, and just the right size for entertaining.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Remove all packaging materials and any promotional labels or stickers from your wok. Be sure you have all parts (listed above, Parts and Features) pertaining to your new appliance before discarding any packaging materials. You may want to keep the box and packing materials for use at a later date.

Before using your Cuisinart™ Electric Wok for the first time, remove any dust from shipping by wiping the base and temperature control probe with a damp cloth. Thoroughly clean the wok, lid, steamer rack, tempura rack and spatulas. The wok, lid, steamer rack and tempura rack can be submerged in water for cleaning or washed in the dishwasher. The wooden spatulas should be washed by hand.

Never submerge the base or temperature control probe in water. Do not place them in the dishwasher.
