Using Your Essentials Wok
Before First Use
It is recommended you remove any
promotional labels and wash your
wok and lid in hot soapy water.
Rinse and thoroughly dry. The base is
removable for easy cleaning.
WARNING: Do not
immerse the cord and/
or temperature control
probe in water or any
other liquid.
‘Season’ the cooking surface by
applying a thin coat of cooking oil
and rub in with paper towelling.
Operating Instructions
1. Insert the temperature control
probe into the control probe
socket on the appliance. Plug
into a 230V or 240V power point
and switch ‘ON’. Always insert the
temperature control probe into
the appliance first, then plug into
the mains power outlet.
2. Turn the temperature control
knob to the desired setting.
Refer to page 8 for temperature
guide. The heating ‘ON’ light will
illuminate. The thermostat light
on the control probe indicates
the temperature at which the
dial is set. This light will remain
on until the set temperature has
been reached and then cycle
on and off throughout cooking,
as the cooking temperature is
maintained by the thermostat.
3. When cooking is completed, turn
the temperature control knob
to the minimum position before
switching off at the power point.
Unplug from power point. Leave
the temperature control probe
connected to the appliance
until cool.
NOTE: This wok must be used
with the temperature control
probe provided. Do not use any
other temperature control probe
or connector.
TIP: When stir-fry cooking, a high
heat is required, set temperature
dial to Setting 10 and allow
the thermostat light on the
temperature probe to cycle
on and off several times. This
will allow the cooking surface
to adjust to a more accurate
cooking temperature.
