Sunbeam are very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer products,
but it is essential that the product user also
exercise care when using an electrical appliance.
Listed below are precautions which are essential
for the safe use of an electrical appliance:

• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.

• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.

• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.

• Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used near children or
infirm persons.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.

• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas
flame, electric element or on a heated oven.
Do not place on top of any other appliance.

• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch
any hot surface.

• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.

• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. If damage
is suspected, return the appliance to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.

• For additional protection, Sunbeam
recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.

If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,
please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.

Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

2400 Watt ‘Heat-Wall’ Element

Your Sunbeam Stainless Professional Wok
features a special 2400 Watt 'Heat-Wall'
element. This element wraps around both the
bottom, and side of your wok wall providing
superior cooking temperatures and heat
distribution.

The heat is quickly channelled from the base
of the wok up the wall. This 'Heat-Wall'
system creates the ideal wok cooking
environment for fast and easy cooking.

The 'Heat-Wall' element is completely cast
into the heavy duty base. This increases the
life of the element and provides faster heat
distribution.

Trigger-Release Control Probe with 15 heat
settings

The Heat Control Probe is thermostatically
controlled with 15 settings to deliver perfect
cooking control.

The indicator light switches 'on' when it is
heating. When the wok has reached the
desired temperature the indicator light
switches 'off'. The indicator light will then
cycle 'on' and 'off' as the thermostat
maintains the set temperature.

The Heat Control Probe is ergonomically
designed with a handy Trigger-Release.
Simply hold the probe and squeeze the
trigger with your thumb to remove it.

Before the First Use.

Ensure any stickers are removed from the
product. Wash in warm soapy water, rinse
thoroughly and dry your Wok and lid.

Do not immerse the Heat Control Probe in
water or any other liquid.

Seasoning is very important when cooking
with Stainless Steel. It will help prevent food
from sticking to the base of the wok during
cooking.

Season the cooking surface by applying a
thin coat of cooking oil and wiping over with
paper towelling. Re-seasoning is
recommended every few months.

1.Insert the Heat Control Probe into the
socket of the Wok.

2.Plug the cord into a 230-240V power
outlet and turn the power on.

3.Set the Heat Control Probe dial to the
desired temperature setting, or the
recommended temperature setting for your
required recipe.

Allow 5 minutes for your Wok to reach the
temperature setting you have selected. The
Wok is now ready to use.

Note: The thermostat light on the Heat
Control Probe indicates the temperature at
which the dial is set.

This light will remain on until the set
temperature has been reached and then will
cycle on and off throughout cooking. This will
ensure that the Wok maintains the correct
temperature.

Using your Stainless Wok

Stainless steel cooking surface

The Sunbeam stainless steel cooking surface
is manufactured from high quality stainless
steel. Stainless steel is hygienic, easy to
care for and extremely durable. To keep your
stainless steel cooking surface looking good
and to achieve the best results, follow these
simple instructions:

Before the first use

“Season” the cooking surface by applying a
thin coat of cooking oil or butter and rub in
with paper towelling. This will also be
necessary after cleaning in a dishwasher.

Use of metal utensils

Continued use of knives, forks or spoons will
eventually start to mark the stainless steel
cooking surface. We recommend using nylon
or wooden utensils to maintain the polished
surface finish.

To clean after each use

Wash in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. To remove cooked-on food, fill the
wok with hot water and allow to stand for a
few minutes. This will soften the food,
making cleaning easier.

Note: Never fill a hot wok with cold water.

Removing burnt-on food

Fill the wok with sufficient water, cover and
simmer for five minutes or until the burnt-on
food softens and lifts. For stubborn burnt-on
food, leave the wok to soak overnight, after
first simmering as described. Then wash and
dry thoroughly.

Removing stubborn stains

We recommend that these can be removed by
using nylon abrasive pads in conjunction with
any brand of stainless steel powder cleaner
on stubborn stains on the cooking surface
only.

Note: Constant use of nylon abrasive pads,
will affect the polished surface finish.

Rubbing a paste of bicarbonate of soda and
water into the stained area is also helpful in
removing stains. Wash thoroughly.

Note: Re-Season the cooking surface after
using any of the above methods to remove
stains.

Dishwasher-safe

Your stainless steel Wok is completely
dishwasher-safe. The heating element is
totally sealed so it is safe to fully immerse in
water.
