USING YOUR ELECTRIC WOK

Wash Wok, cover and rack (if included), in hot soapy water with a dishcloth or sponge to remove any manufacturing oils. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

CONDITION THE NON-STICK INTERIOR SURFACE - The non-stick surface must be conditioned to ensure stick-free cooking. Lightly wipe a teaspoon of cooking oil over the entire interior surface with a paper towel or soft cloth. Do not use shortening or butter. Let the oil remain on the surface. The Wok is now ready to use.

ASSEMBLE COVER KNOB (IF APPLICABLE)

Parts included: Cover knob, protector and screw

From underside of cover, insert the end of screw through the center hole. Place protector dome side up, on the topside of cover over screw. See diagram:

Place knob on screw: inserting end of screw into the treaded opening. Turn knob to tighten onto screw. Do not over

tighten screw to prevent stripping of threads. Do not use cover without knob attached.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS - Since Wok cooking is very rapid, all foods should be prepared (peeled, shelled, sliced, diced, cubed etc) before the heat control is turned on.

Operating the Wok

1.Always use Wok on a dry, level, heat-resistance surface away from the edge. Be sure your hands are dry.

2.Attach heat control to Wok, making sure it is set at “OFF.” Plug cord into a 120 volt, AC electrical outlet ONLY.

3.Follow recipe as directed. If recipe recommends preheating, do so with Wok uncovered, containing oil, at the recommended temperature setting. The signal light on the heat control will be on when the Wok is heating and go out when the selected temperature has been reached. Heat may be increased or decreased during the cooking period. The signal light will go on/off during cooking to indicate cooking temperature is being maintained.

4.For best results when stir-frying, add 1-2 cups of food at a time to the bottom of the Wok, stirring frequently with 2 wooden spoons until desired doneness is reached. Then push food up on the sides of the Wok. Continue this process until all the foods are cooked then combine for serving. NOTE: do not add larger amounts of food to the Wok at a time as this will result in loss of temperature and foods will simmer rather than sizzle.

5.At the end of cooking time, set heat control at WARM for serving or set at OFF if food will be removed immediately from the Wok. After set at OFF unplug cord from the wall outlet.
