3. Setup and First Use
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and labels from the wok pan.
- Initial Cleaning: Wash the wok pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse completely and dry with a soft cloth.
- Conditioning (Optional but Recommended): Lightly rub a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil) over the entire non-stick interior surface with a paper towel. Heat the pan over low heat for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and let it cool. Wipe off any excess oil. This helps to maintain the non-stick properties.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Heat Management
- Preheating: Always preheat the wok pan for a few minutes over low to medium heat before adding food. This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
- Avoid High Heat: Due to its excellent heat conductivity, high heat is rarely necessary. Using excessive heat can damage the non-stick coating over time and may cause food to burn. Medium heat is generally sufficient for most cooking tasks.
- Stovetop Compatibility: This wok pan is suitable for gas burners, electric plates, and electric and glass-ceramic hobs. Ensure the pan is centered on the heat source.
4.2 Cooking with Non-Stick
- Oil Usage: The advanced non-stick coating allows you to cook with minimal oil or butter, promoting healthier meals.
- Utensils: Always use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to protect the non-stick surface. Avoid metal utensils, as they can scratch and damage the coating.
- Oven Use: This wok pan is not oven safe. Do not place it in an oven.

5. Maintenance and Care
5.1 Cleaning
- Cool Down: Always allow the wok pan to cool completely before washing. Submerging a hot pan in cold water can cause warping.
- 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.
- Dishwasher Safe: The wok pan is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended for extended durability.
- Stubborn Food: For stuck-on food, fill the pan with warm water and a small amount of dish soap, let it soak for 15-20 minutes, then clean with a soft sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads.
5.2 Storage
- When storing, place a soft cloth or paper towel between pans if stacking to protect the non-stick surface from scratches.
