Before You Use Your New Wok/Cooker
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may
have remained from the manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean the wok thoroughly with hot, soapy
water.
Wok Pan w/Lid
Remove all packaging materials and temporary labels from the wok. Clean thoroughly with hot soapy water and dry
thoroughly. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil (do not use corn oil) to the entire inside surface with a paper towel. Heat
the wok on medium setting until the cooking surface turns golden brown. Repeat this procedure several times. This
seasoning seals the pores of the metal, keeps food from sticking, and prevents the wok from rusting. Wipe off excess
oil before
using or storing.
Using Your Wok/Cooker
Lighting the Burners
To light the burners, turn the appropriate control knob counter clockwise to any position. This control is both a gas
valve and an electric switch. Burners will ignite at any “on” position with the automatic reignition system. If the flame
goes out for any reason, the burners will automatically reignite if the gas is still flowing. When gas is permitted to flow
to the burners, the electric igniters start sparking. On all surface igniters you should hear a “clicking” sound. If you do
not, turn off the control and check that the unit is plugged in and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or
tripped. Within a few moments, enough gas will have traveled to the burner to be able to light. When the burner
lights, turn the burner control to any position to adjust the flame size. Setting the proper height for the desired cooking
process and selected utensil will result in superior cooking performance, while also saving time and energy.
Wok Operation
Using the Trivet Grate (Center Wok Grate) The trivet grate converts the
large burner grate to a grate suitable for use with large stock pots. To
use the trivet grate, place the small grate in the center of the large
grate. Turn the trivet grate until the feet on the trivet grate rests inside
the notches located on the center ring of the large grate.
