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.

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.
