REMOVABLE TEMPERATURE
CONTROL PROBE

The Temperature Probe has 15 heat settings
plus ‘High Sear’ for accurate temperature
control. The ‘High Sear’ setting should be
used for searing and sealing meats when
stir-frying.

The heating arrow on the probe switches
off automatically when the temperature
is reached and will cycle on and off
during cooking in order to maintain the
temperature selected.

The numbers on the dial represent the
following:

OPERATING

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE HOT WOK™ PRO

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 power cord and

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 240V power outlet.
Always insert the Temperature Control
Probe into the appliance first, then plug
power cord 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 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 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 power cord from
power outlet. Leave the Temperature
Control Probe connected to the wok
until it has cooled down.

NOTE

Do not immerse the power cord,
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 power plug 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.

CARE & CLEANING

for your Breville Hot Wok™ Pro

CARE & CLEANING

TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE

• If cleaning is necessary, wipe the

Temperature Control Probe with a
slightly damp cloth.

NOTE

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

Storage

Store the Temperature Control Probe
carefully. Do not knock or drop it because
the probe may be damaged. If damage is
suspected, call Breville Customer Service at
1300 139 798.

NOTE

For convenient storage of the
Temperature Control Probe, line the
Wok Bowl with two sheets of paper
towel and place the probe on the paper
towels. This will ensure the probe and
power plug don't scratch the non-stick
coating.

ETERNA™ PFOA-FREE
NON-STICK SURFACE

Do not use metal utensils, sharp objects or
cut food inside the wok. Breville is not liable
for damage to the non-stick coating if metal
utensils have been used.

Cooking on a non-stick surface reduces
the need for oil. Food does not stick and
cleaning is easier.

Any discoloration that may occur will only
detract from the appearance of the wok and
will not affect the cooking performance.

When cleaning the non-stick coating do
not use metal (or other abrasive) cleansers.
Wash in hot soapy water. Remove stubborn
spots with a plastic washing pad or nylon
washing brush.
