Warning and Safety instructions
12
Correct use

The wok gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time after
being switched off. The risk of burning is present until the residual
heat indicators have gone out.

Do not use the wok to heat up the room.
Due to the high temperatures radiated, objects left near the wok
could catch fire.

Overheated fat and oil can ignite and catch fire. Never leave the
wok unattended. Do not attempt to extinguish burning oil or fat with
water.
Switch the wok off and carefully smother the flames with a fire
blanket or a damp tea towel

Do not leave the wok unattended whilst it is being used. It should
be continually monitored whilst boiling and flash frying.

Flames could set the grease filters of a cooker hood on fire. Do
not flambé under a cooker hood.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other inflammable substances can
ignite when heated. Therefore do not store such items or substances
in a drawer under the wok. Cutlery inserts must be heat-resistant.

Do not heat an empty pan.

Do not heat up food in closed containers e.g. tins or sealed jars
on the wok, as pressure will build up in the container which could
cause it to explode.

Do not cover the wok, e.g. with a cover, a cloth or protective foil.
The material could catch fire, shatter or melt if the appliance is
switched on by mistake or if residual heat is still present.

If the appliance is switched on by mistake, or if there is residual
heat present, there is the risk of any metal items placed on the wok
(e.g. cutlery) heating up. Other materials can melt or catch fire. Do
not use the appliance as a resting place for anything.
