New Quantanium Scratch Resistant

Non-Stick Cooking Surface

Your Breville Avance Gourmet Wok

features the new highly resilient

Quantanium coating. It features special

scratch resistant minerals causing metal

utensils to slide over these particles

without damaging the coating.The end

result is a non stick coating which

enables the use of metal utensils such as

spatulas and spoons, but not sharp

utensils. This non stick surface also
means that foods won’t stick and less oil
can be used while cooking. Regular high

heat cooking may discolour the non-stick

Quantanium surface, this is normal and

will not affect the performance of the

non-stick coating.

Quick Release Removable Base

Your Avance Gourmet Wok has a

quick release removable base for easy

cleaning. This allows the Avance

Gourmet Wok to fit easily into the

dishwasher or sink. The removable

base is dishwasher safe (see page 10).

2400 watt ‘high wall’ element

The element in your Wok is recessed
around the wok base creating a heat
zone over the entire wok surface. The
heavy die-cast construction of the wok
bowl is designed to retain even heat
and save energy.

Cook ‘n’ Look Glass Lid

With the lid in place, the Avance
Gourmet Wok can be used for
slow cooking foods such as
curries and casseroles. Use the
steam vent to release excess
steam build up during slow
cooking or to reduce liquids.

Sealed element

The unique heating element is
fully sealed, so the Avance
Gourmet Wok is dishwasher
safe and can be fully immersed
in water for easy cleaning.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE WOK

Removable Temperature Control Probe

The temperature probe has 14 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 light 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 temperatures approximately.

Plastic Spatula

Your Avance Gourmet Wok is supplied with a
plastic charn for stirring foods, as it won’t
damage the non stick surface.

BEFORE FIRST USE

••

It is recommended you remove any
promotional labels and wash your Wok
and lid in hot soapy water. Rinse and
thoroughly dry.

Before inserting
temperature control probe
into the Wok socket ensure
the interior of the socket is
fully dry. To do this, shake
out excess water then wipe
the interior of the socket
with a dry cloth.

••

The base is removable for easy cleaning
(see page 10).

••

Do not immerse the cord and/or
temperature control probe in water or any
other liquid.

OPERATING YOUR WOK

1. Position the Avance Gourmet Wok on the
base, ensuring the Wok feet are firmly
located on the base tray.

2. Insert the Temperature Control Probe into
the socket at the side of the Avance
Gourmet Wok. Plug into a 230/240v power
outlet and switch ‘on’. Always insert the
Temperature Control Probe into the
appliance first, then plug into main
power outlet.

3. Preheat the Avance Gourmet Wok on the
‘High Sear’ setting for approximately 10
minutes. The thermostat ‘On’ light will
illuminate indicating the temperature at
which the dial is set.

4. When the thermostat light goes out this
indicates the wok has reached its set
temperature. The wok is now ready for use.
The thermostat light will cycle on and off
throughout cooking as the temperature is
maintained by the thermostat.

For best results allow the
Avance Gourmet Wok to
preheat for 10 minutes on
the ‘High Sear’ setting
before beginning to cook.

6

Temperatures given are a
guide only and may require
adjustment to suit various
foods and individual tastes.

NEVER OPERATE THE AVANCE GOURMET WOK WITHOUT THE BASE
POSITIONED DIRECTLY IN PLACE.

CARE AND CLEANING

5. When cooking is completed, turn
temperature control dial to the ‘off’
position (‘0’ on dial) before switching off
at the power outlet. Unplug from power
outlet. Leave temperature control probe
connected to the appliance until cool.

The Avance Gourmet Wok
must be used with the
temperature control probe
provided. Do not use any
other temperature control
probe or connector.

When stir fry cooking and a
high heat is required, set
temperature dial to ‘High
Sear’ and allow thermostat
light to cycle on and off
several times. This will
allow the cooking surface
to adjust to a more accurate
cooking temperature.

••

Allow the Avance Gourmet 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
socket in the appliance by depressing
the ‘easy release’ lever on the side of
the probe.

••

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

TEMPERATURE CONTROL PROBE

••

If cleaning is necessary, wipe over the
unit with a slightly damp cloth.

Do not immerse the cord,
plug or temperature
control probe in water or
any other liquid.

Storage : Store the control probe carefully.

Do not knock or drop it as this can damage
the probe. If damage is suspected, return
the Control Probe to your nearest Breville
service centre for inspection.

For convenient storage of
the Control Probe, line the
wok bowl with two sheets of
kitchen paper and place the
probe on the kitchen paper.
This will ensure the probe
and plug doesn’t scratch the
non-stick coating

NEVER PLACE OIL OR FOOD INTO A COLD WOK WHILE IT IS HEATING,
THIS WILL GIVE A POOR COOKING RESULT.

THE AVANCE GOURMET WOK GETS VERY HOT DURING USE, ALLOW THE

UNIT TO COOL BEFORE MOVING OR STORING.

CARE AND CLEANING cont’d

NEW QUANTANIUM SCRATCH
RESISTANT COATING

Your Avance Gourmet Wok features a special
scratch resistant non stick coating that makes
it safe to use metal utensils when cooking.

Regardless of this fact, Breville

recommends that care is taken with the non­stick coating particularly when using metal
utensils. A plastic spatula has been provided
for your use.

Do not use sharp objects or cut food inside

the Avance Gourmet Wok. Breville will not be
liable for damage to the non-stick coating
where metal utensils have been misused.

Cooking on a non-stick surface minimises

the need for oil, food does not stick and
cleaning is easier.

Any discolouration that may occur will

only detract from the appearance of the
Avance Gourmet Wok and will not affect the
cooking performance.

To clean interior and exterior surface:

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

REMOVABLE BASE

To remove the base for cleaning

1. Turn the wok upside down (as illustrated
below). Turn the quick release knob anti­clockwise as shown by the arrow.

2. Lift the base from the wok, lifting over
the heat controller socket.

The wok base may be washed in hot
soapy water, dry thoroughly. The wok
vessel is dishwasher safe.

3. To relock base to wok, push down on the
quick release knob and turn in a
clockwise direction.

GLASS LID

Wash the glass lid in warm soapy water
using a soft sponge, rinse and dry
thoroughly. The glass lid is dishwasher safe.

Take care when the glass
lid is hot. Do not place hot
lid under cold water or on
cold surfaces. This may
cause lid to break.

DISHWASHER SAFE

Your Avance Gourmet Wok is dishwasher
safe for easy cleaning. The recessed heating
element is completely sealed so it is safe to
immerse in water. Both the top and base of
the Avance Gourmet Wok may be placed in
the dishwasher. The base should be placed
on the top shelf only or washed by hand.

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

THE AVANCE GOURMET WOK SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED WITHOUT
THE WOK AND BASE FULLY ASSEMBLED AND LOCKED INTO PLACE.
