It is equipped with a 3-prong cord having a grounded plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet which is properly installed and
grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounded cord can result in the risk
of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if necessary. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying plug.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards
resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord, it should be positioned such
that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over and:

a. Use only 3-prong extension cord with 3-blade

grounding plug.

b. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to

or greater than the rating of this appliance. The electrical

Before Your First Use

Wash, rinse and dry the wok, lid, rack,
and detachable base to remove any dust or
particles due to shipping. DO NOT
IMMERSE THE PROBE IN WATER OR
ANY OTHER LIQUID.

WARNING: Ensure that your temperature
probe and wok socket are completely dry
prior to inserting probe into Wok socket

Season the cooking surface by applying a
thin coat of cooking oil to the nonstick surface
with a paper towel. This appliance requires
1500 watts and should be the only appliance
operating on the circuit. Plug the Wok into a
120 volt 60 Hz AC only outlet.

DETACHABLE BASE

The base should always be removed when
cleaning your wok. To remove simply turn the
wok upside down and remove the locking
screw by turning counter-clockwise. See
Figure 1. Lift the base straight up to remove,
(see Figure 2) to reattach the base simply line
up the notch for the temperature control on
the base to the socket on the wok. Replace
the locking screw by turning clockwise.

REMOVABLE ADJUSTABLE
TEMPERATURE PROBE

Your temperature has a quick release handle
allowing you to effortlessly remove the probe
from the wok by simply squeezing the lever
into the probe. The adjustable temperature
probe has been designed to match the settings of a standard stovetop
control. There are 5 settings comprised of Min, Keep Warm, Medium,
High, and Sear. You will notice during the cooking process that the light
will cycle on and off. This indicates that the adjustable thermostat is
cycling to ensure the set temperature is maintained.

Using Your Electric Wok

WARNING: Ensure that your Wok base is FIRMLY attached to the
bottom of the wok prior to use. NEVER attempt to cook without the
base attached.

WARNING: The exterior of your wok becomes very hot during use,
similar to any cooking vessel on a stovetop. Do not touch any hot
surfaces, use handles or knobs. Do not attempt to move your wok
until it has completely cooled.

1 Place your Electric Wok on a flat, stable, level surface.

2 Insert the temperature probe control into the socket on the Wok.

3 Plug the cord into a 120-volt 60 Hz AC only outlet. This appliance

requires 1500 watts and should be the only appliance operating on
the circuit.

4 Set the temperature control to the temperature desired. The

indicator light will turn on.

5 Once the selected temperature has been reached, the indicator light

on the temperature control will switch off; however we recommend
that you preheat the wok for 10 minutes to allow the heat to reach
up the sides of the cooking surface. The light will cycle on and off as
the selected temperature is maintained.

6 When you have finished cooking your meal set the temperature

control to MIN before unplugging from the outlet. Allow the Wok to
cool completely before moving or cleaning.
