Important Cord Information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is
intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least 13A/125V/1625W. The extension cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
Before First Use
1.
Wash wok and cover in dishwasher or in hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse Control Master
®
heat control or let the
heat control come in contact with any liquid.
2. Season the wooden spatula which came with the wok. Mineral oil is recommended for this. Mineral oil will help prevent the wood
from cracking and also prevent staining and absorption of food odors and bacteria. Apply the oil with a soft cloth. Allow the oil to
soak in for a few minutes and then wipe off the spatula with a dry, clean cloth.
How To Use
Caution: This product is not intended to melt wax, gels, plastics, glue, or other materials for making candles or for other hobbyist
activities, or in any commercial or business application.
1. Place wok on a dry, level, heat resistant surface. Cover should
not
be on the wok.
2. Prepare food for cooking.
3. Insert the Control Master
®
heat control probe into the wok so the two electrical pins on the wok are fully inserted into the heat
control. Connect cord to a 120VAC electrical wall outlet only.
4. Preheat wok by turning Control Master
®
heat control to 375°F or the temperature specified in the recipe. Allow wok to preheat for
5 to 10 minutes. When using the wok for the first time, a slight odor or light smoking may occur as manufacturing residue evapo-
rates. This is normal during initial use.
Note:
This wok has an impact welded aluminum-clad base, for fast, even high temperature
cooking. Because of that base, your new wok cooks as fast and as hot as your stove. A tempera-
ture higher than 375°F may result in excessive smoking. Suggested temperature settings for a
variety of foods can be found in a chart on page 3 and in the recipes that follow.
5. Add oil and food to wok according to recipe. Stir food frequently using the wooden spatula and
cook for the length of time indicated in the recipe.
6. Turn heat control to OFF when cooking is completed. Unplug heat control from wall outlet
then from appliance.
7. Allow wok to cool before cleaning.
Care and Cleaning
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash wok in hot, soapy water and rinse and dry thoroughly, or wash wok in an automatic
dishwasher. Wipe Control Master
®
heat control with a damp cloth. DO nOT IMMeRSe heAT COnTROL In WATeR OR LeT IT COMe
In COnTACT WITh Any LIQUID.
Note:
If you choose to wash the wok in a dishwasher, the aluminum bottom of the wok will likely
discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwashing detergent.
The wooden spatula should be washed in hot, soapy water. Like with all wooden utensils, do not soak the wooden spatula or put it in the
dishwasher because this may cause it to crack. Periodically season the wooden spatula with mineral oil.
Food residue may be removed from the wok by scrubbing in a circular motion with a stainless steel scouring pad or a nylon mesh cleaning
pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponge.
Helpful Hint:
For quick, effective and easy cleaning that virtually eliminates scrubbing, use the following method: Pour enough water
into the emptied wok to cover food residue. Cover and turn Control Master
®
heat control to 250°F. Bring water to a boil and while water
is boiling, scrape the wok with a wooden or plastic spatula until the food is loosened. Remove heat control and wash wok in hot, soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
If the cooking surface has mottling, stubborn, brown or tacky food residue, or if the wok has developed straw colored or rainbow discol-
oration as a result of prolonged exposure to high heat, use a powdered cleanser without chlorine or bleach, such as Bar Keepers Friend*
