Important Safety Instructions
1. Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. The appliance must be installed and
electrically grounded according to local codes. Have this technician show the location of the
gas shut-off valve on the wok so you know where and how to turn off the gas if necessary.
2. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended
in this manual. All servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. A qualified technician is
required for any adjustments or conversions to Nat. or LP gas.
3. The “push-to-turn” knobs of this wok/cooker are designed to be childsafe. However, children
should not be left alone in the kitchen while the wok is in use. Do not store items of interest to
children over the unit. CAUTION: Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.
4. GREASE is flammable and should be handled carefully. Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan by covering utensil completely with well-fitting lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of utensil can be extinguished with baking
soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher.
5. Never leave the surface area unattended at high heat setting. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spill-overs which may ignite.
6. If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft
could cause the flames to spread out of control.
7. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
8. Never use your wok/cooker for warming or heating a room. This is based on safety
considerations.
9. Use proper pan size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. Using
undersized utensils allows the flame to come up the side of the utensil, scorching the outside of
the utensil and making cleanup harder.
10. The flame of the surface burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of the pan or pot.
Excessive burner setting may cause scorching of adjacent countertop surfaces, as well as the
outside of the utensil. This is based on safety considerations.
11. Use dry pot holders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Do not let potholders touch hot surface areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
12. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward
toward the center of the unit, and so that it does not extend over adjacent burners.
13. Surface areas near burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch areas near burners until they have had sufficient time to cool.
14.Once the unit is installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions, it is important that the fresh
air supply is not obstructed. The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat
and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated. Keep
natural venting holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device. Prolonged or intensive use
of the appliance may call for additional (such as opening a window) or more effective ventilation
(such as increasing the level of a mechanical ventilation if present).
15. Storage cabinet area above the unit must be 36” (91.4 cm) and cannot project more than
13” (33.0 cm) outward from the rear wall. Beware of potential hazards associated with retrieving
items from such cabinets when the unit is in operation.
16. Keep area clean and free from combustible material, gasoline, and other flammable liquids.
19. This appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation device. It shall be installed
and connected in accordance with current installation regulations regarding ventilation .
