Setup and Initial Use

Unpacking and Initial Cleaning

1. Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the wok.
2. Wash the wok thoroughly with warm water and a mild dish soap. Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth.
3. Before first use, lightly grease the non-stick surface with a small amount of cooking oil. Heat the wok over low heat for approximately one minute, then remove from heat and wipe off any excess oil. This conditions the non-stick coating.

Attaching and Detaching the Removable Handle

The Woll Nowo wok features a TÜV/GS-certified removable handle for convenience in storage and oven use.

• To Attach: Align the handle with the bracket on the wok. Push the handle firmly into the bracket until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is fully engaged before lifting or cooking.
• To Detach: Locate the release mechanism (usually a button or lever) on the handle. Press or slide the mechanism and pull the handle away from the wok.

Cooking with Your Wok

• Heat Settings: Due to the excellent heat conductivity of the wok, medium to low heat settings are often sufficient. High heat should only be used for searing for short periods. Overheating can damage the non-stick coating over time.
• Utensils: Use wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to protect the non-stick surface. Avoid metal utensils that can scratch the coating.
• Oven Use: The wok is oven-safe up to 300°C (572°F) without the removable handle attached. Always remove the handle before placing the wok in the oven.
• Reinforced Pouring Rim: The wok features a reinforced pouring rim designed for mess-free pouring of sauces and liquids.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

• After Each Use: Allow the wok to cool completely before cleaning. Sudden temperature changes can warp the pan.
• Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of the non-stick coating, hand wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool.
• Dishwasher Safe: The wok is dishwasher safe. However, frequent dishwasher use may dull the exterior finish over time. Ensure the removable handle is detached before placing the wok in the dishwasher.
• Stubborn Residue: For baked-on food, soak the wok in warm, soapy water for a short period before cleaning.

Storage

The removable handle allows for convenient and compact storage. Store the wok in a dry place. If stacking with other cookware, place a soft cloth or pan protector between the wok and other items to prevent scratches to the non-stick surface.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure the wok is clean and lightly oiled before cooking. Avoid using excessively high heat, which can degrade the non-stick coating. Do not use metal utensils.
• Wok Not Heating on Induction: Verify that your induction hob is compatible with the wok's base size. Ensure the wok is placed centrally on the induction zone.
• Handle Not Attaching Securely: Check for any obstructions in the handle mechanism or the wok's bracket. Ensure the handle is aligned correctly and pushed firmly until it clicks. Do not force the handle.
• Warping: Always allow the wok to cool down gradually before washing. Rapid temperature changes (e.g., plunging a hot wok into cold water) can cause warping.
